CloseVector / Pilot Program
Every ethics partner we talk to faces the same question: how do we get this approved internally. We built the answer.
01 — The Real Problem
You already know cloud AI is a liability problem. Your files leave your building. Your logs get deleted. Your vendor's contract does not protect you when a client sues.
You found CloseVector. Air-gapped. Local. Every session logged. Every output traceable. Exactly what you need.
And then someone inside your firm asked a question you couldn't answer fast enough.
02 — The Questions That Kill Deals
Where exactly do client files go when they enter the system?
Who inside the firm can access them — and what's the audit trail if someone shouldn't have?
How long does the system keep records? Can we configure that by matter?
If an associate runs this on an active case, what record exists that they did it correctly?
What would we hand to our ethics partner to get this approved for a pilot?
"These are not hard questions. They just don't have easy answers when the product is still a demo."
03 — What We Built Instead
Every firm that evaluates legal AI faces the same internal bottleneck. The technology isn't the question. The question is: can we route this through our approval process without creating a new governance project?
Most vendors make you answer that yourself. You get the tool. You figure out the governance. Good luck.
That's not how CloseVector works.
When you run a matter through CloseVector, we don't just give you an output. We give you a packet. A short, readable document that answers every approval question your internal reviewers will ask — before they ask it.
You hand the partner a packet. They approve the pilot. You move forward.
04 — What's In The Packet
Matter Template
A pre-scoped operating mode for this specific matter. Defines who can access it, what documents are in scope, and how outputs can be exported. Blank-slate flexibility reads as risk. Templates read as control.
Retention Window
You choose how long the system keeps records for this matter. Not forever. Not nothing. A deliberate window your firm controls, with clear deletion behavior when it closes.
Review Report
A human-readable summary of everything that happened: who ran what, which documents were used, what outputs were generated, what was exported. For the ethics partner, not the IT team.
The Packet
What entered the system. What was used in the analysis. What left. One page. Answers the core approval questions without requiring anyone to read a log file or trust a vendor promise.
What this is not
This is not an enterprise compliance platform. It is not a governance dashboard. It is not a records management system. It is the smallest thing that converts chain-of-custody from a technical feature into something a plaintiff-side firm can actually approve and buy.
05 — The Line That Changes Everything
Most cloud AI deployments delete the logs by default. When a malpractice claim comes, you have nothing. No record of what the AI found. No record of whether the attorney reviewed it. No record at all.
The firm that kept its logs walks into that case with a record showing exactly what the system found and exactly what the attorney did with it.
That is a record.
The firm running Zero Data Retention (ZDR) — the policy that automatically deletes all session logs — has nothing.
A contractual promise that your vendor erases your data is not privacy architecture.
In litigation, it is a spoliation fact pattern with a signed addendum.
CloseVector keeps the logs. On your hardware. Under your control. With a retention policy you set, for each matter, before the matter opens.
A contractual protection is not an architectural one.
We scope it to one active matter. You get the packet. Your ethics partner sees exactly what entered, what was used, and what left. You move forward or you don't — but you'll know.
