Marshal's AI runs the whole case — intake, evidence, interviews, findings — and hands you the judgment.
Half the hours, every finding traced to its source. You own every decision; Marshal owns the work.
[ The interface ]
Marshal guides the case from intake to export. The decisions stay yours.
[ Intake → report ]
One thread carries the whole investigation — scoping memo, evidence ingest, witness plans, interview memos, timeline, findings, and the document GC will read.
[ Drafts ]
Every memo, question plan, and report section is a draft you can revise. Marshal proposes; you confirm before anything sticks.
[ New evidence ]
Upload a doc, add a witness, and Marshal reflows: timeline, cross-references, and gaps stay current with everything in the file.

[ The math ]
An average workplace investigation runs 25 days from intake to close — 28 if it involves discrimination, 33 if an outside agency is involved.1 The investigator hours hidden inside that span are what Marshal compresses.
Intake & scoping
Read the complaint, identify parties, draft a scoping memo.
Evidence review
Read documents, write summaries, tag relevance.
Interviews
Prep questions, conduct, write up memos.
Timeline & findings
Build chronology, weigh evidence per allegation.
Report drafting
Write the document GC will actually read.
Close
Closing memo, export, file.
60% fewer investigator hours per case.

[ The question ]
Was the investigator biased?
A biased investigator's findings can sink the defense — courts hold the decision-maker who relied on them accountable, even when the decision-maker themselves was unbiased.2
[ Marshal ]
Marshal surfaces evidence for AND against every allegation, side by side, each cited to a specific source. The investigator owns the finding; the case for both sides is built into the record.
[ The question ]
Did you interview the right people?
Courts treat incomplete investigations as worse than no investigation — an uninterviewed key witness or unreviewed document can produce bad-faith damages on top of the underlying claim.2
[ Marshal ]
Marshal's chat orchestrator flags gaps in real time: unscheduled witnesses, allegations without supporting evidence, undecided findings. The case can't be closed with structural gates unmet.
[ The question ]
Can you prove what happened, when?
'If it wasn't documented, it didn't happen' is the working assumption in any wrongful-termination, harassment, or discrimination defense.2
[ Marshal ]
Every action — memo edit, determination, export — appends to a hash-chained audit log. Daily attestations push to immutable S3 Object Lock storage you cannot modify, even with root access. The chain is the witness.
[ The question ]
Is the report defensible?
Subjective investigator commentary — 'he seemed shifty,' 'her story doesn't add up' — becomes plaintiff's counsel's exhibit A.2
[ Marshal ]
Every claim in a Marshal report ties back to a witness statement, document, or timeline event. The investigator's voice owns the conclusion. The citations make it defensible.
[ The question ]
Did the investigation follow the rules that apply here?
State and local requirements layer on top of the federal baseline — and they vary. California imposes stricter confidentiality obligations than federal law. New York City adds additional notice requirements. Illinois, Connecticut, Oregon, and others impose mandatory training triggers and anti-retaliation rules that differ in scope and timing. An investigator working without a jurisdiction-specific reference will miss them.4

Marshal's compliance lattice covers investigation procedure across all 50 states and major localities. Applicable requirements surface at every step — recording consent before interviews, notice obligations in scoping memos, retaliation rules in findings analysis. The Legal Framework section of every report cites the governing statutes automatically, drawn from the jurisdiction on file.

[ Questions ]
[ 01 ]
Designed for it. Every claim in a Marshal report cites a specific witness statement, document, or timeline event. Every action appends to a hash-chained audit log (sha256 per-tenant chain, enforced at the database layer) with daily attestations pushed to immutable S3 Object Lock storage. PDF and DOCX exports are court-submittable. See /trust for the full security posture.
[ 02 ]
You override it. Every draft Marshal produces — scoping memo, question plan, interview memo, finding rationale, report section — is editable in place. Findings determinations require the investigator's own rationale; Marshal surfaces evidence for and against but never makes the call. The audit log records who edited what and when.
[ 03 ]
Tenant isolation is enforced at the database layer via Row-Level Security on every table. Within a tenant, three roles: admin (full access plus invitations and tenant-wide audit log), investigator (full access except admin functions), viewer (read-only). Per-case access controls — privileged-investigation mode — are a V2 capability.

Yes Claude processes the data — drafting a memo, summarizing a document, or generating a report section requires Anthropic's API to read the content. No it isn't used to train models: Anthropic's commercial API terms contractually prohibit training on customer inputs or outputs. Anthropic deletes API logs after 7 days; every AI call is recorded in Marshal's audit trail (the ai_generations table) so you can review exactly what Claude saw. Customers with stricter requirements can request Zero Data Retention, where Anthropic doesn't store API data at rest at all — we negotiate this with Anthropic when enterprise demand justifies it.
[ 05 ]
Export everything — case bundles, audit logs, PDF and DOCX reports — and keep them. The audit log is retained indefinitely per GDPR Art. 17(3)(e) (legal-claims-defense exemption). Our terms spell out a 30-day export window after termination. No lock-in.
