Defensible e-discovery, start to certification.
CloseVector is built to process messy ESI locally, surface the evidence and the bad facts, route privilege before anything reaches a general report, and produce the methodology record a firm may need to defend in a Rule 26 or 37(e) fight.
From production to certification, accounted for at every step.
Ingest
Multi-format ESI is ingested with its native structure intact and hashed at acquisition, so the record starts with a verifiable baseline.
Preserve
Immutable originals, family relationships, and metadata are preserved with a chain-of-custody record from the first touch forward.
Process
Text extraction, OCR, and processing exceptions are surfaced as part of the record — never hidden in a log no one reads.
Retrieve
A diversified recall ensemble is built to surface oblique evidence across multiple parallel retrieval methods, not just topical keyword matches.
Privilege
Privilege candidates are routed and quarantined for attorney review before anything reaches a general report.
Report
Citation-gated outputs, a defensibility packet, and support for FRE 902 certification of the electronic record.
The document that decides the case rarely uses the obvious words.
The evidence that turns a matter is seldom phrased the way a keyword search expects. People hedge, code, and fragment the things that matter most. A custodian writes "we need fresher energy" instead of naming the person being pushed out. A directive reads "move the legacy profiles out before Q3." The most damaging line is often "do not put this in writing."
CloseVector is built to surface oblique, coded, and fragmented evidence across multiple parallel retrieval methods — semantic, structural, and relational — not just topical keyword matches. The aim is recall on the language people actually use, including the language chosen to avoid being found — and how that recall is measured is the subject of our validation program.
Privilege is routed before anything reaches a general report.
Privilege is not a filter bolted on at the end. In CloseVector's workflow it runs first. Attorney-client, work-product, and dual-purpose detection runs before any summarization or general reporting. Candidates are quarantined for attorney review, and the workflow is built so unreviewed privilege candidates do not pass into general outputs.
The safety layer sits in front of the analysis, not behind it — so a privileged document is flagged before it can be summarized into a report someone else reads.
What it did not process is a first-class fact.
Most e-discovery tools treat what they could not process as a footnote. CloseVector treats it as a first-class fact. Failed extractions, encrypted files, low-confidence OCR, broken document families, and missing custodians are surfaced as stated limitations of the matter — not buried in a log no one reads. A reviewer should know exactly what the system could not see before relying on what it did.
The worst e-discovery failure is not a crash. It is a confident report built on incomplete evidence.
Produces the methodology record, not just the result.
A result is only as defensible as the record behind it. The evidence engine produces the methodology record alongside the output — the artifacts a firm may need when a Rule 26 or Rule 37(e) challenge asks how the production was searched.
Together these are designed to support FRE 902(13)–(14) self-authentication of electronic records.
