Product · Verdict v0.4

The decision console for the 60-second window.

A small, opinionated piece of software that sits between your firm's documents and the person on the phone. Three outputs. Every answer cited. Nothing leaves the box.


Architecture

Three layers. Each one auditable.

Verdict is deliberately simple. The whole stack fits on a single 32GB box. The whole stack also fits in your head, which is why your compliance team will sign off on it.

L1 · Retrieval

Hybrid search.

Dense embeddings for semantic match. BM25 for terminology fidelity (your firm uses "trailing commission" — Verdict knows that's not a typo). Re-ranked by cross-encoder. Every passage carries its source pointer through the entire pipeline.

↳   pgvector · BM25 · ColBERT re-rank
L2 · Reasoning

Local model. Locked weights.

We run a fine-tuned Gemma 7B on-device. No GPT-4. No Claude. No cloud inference of any kind. Weights are versioned and signed; you can pin a specific build for an entire fiscal year if your auditor asks you to.

↳   Gemma · LoRA · llama.cpp · CPU or single GPU
L3 · Decision

Three-bucket output.

Handle / Transfer / Escalate. The model is constrained to a JSON schema — no free-form prose, no "as a language model." Every field is required. Every citation is a real passage in your corpus. Hallucination is structurally suppressed, not hopefully prompted.

↳   JSON schema · grammar-constrained · forced citation

Deployment

Boring on purpose.

The whole point is that your IT team can support this without learning anything new. We wrote it to look like every other line-of-business app on your network.

A

Single-server install.

One Windows or Linux box. 32GB RAM minimum, 64GB recommended. CPU-only mode supported for firms under 50 seats. Comes as an MSI or a signed Docker bundle.

DEPLOYMENT DIAGRAM
B

Air-gap supported.

Ship a sealed appliance for firms that physically can't connect to the public internet. Updates arrive via signed USB. We've done this for one customer already; it's not theoretical.

APPLIANCE PHOTO
C

Identity from your IdP.

SAML, OIDC, Azure AD, Okta. Group-level corpus permissions: a junior rep sees the rep manual, the compliance officer sees everything. SCIM provisioning included on Standard and up.

What we do not do

We're not a chatbot.

There's a list of things people ask us for that we won't build. We think it's more honest to publish the list.

Boundaries · public
  • No open chat.

    Verdict answers structured questions tied to a customer interaction. It will not write your performance reviews or summarize your inbox.

  • No cloud fallback.

    If the local model can't answer with high confidence, Verdict says so. It does not silently call out to GPT-4. There is no toggle for this.

  • No replacing your compliance team.

    The compliance team writes the rules; Verdict reads them faster than a human can. Those are very different jobs.

  • No training on your data — ever.

    LoRA fine-tunes on the Custom tier are scoped to your tenant, encrypted, and never aggregated across customers. Even your aggregate metrics don't leave the box.
