Every page read. Every claim sourced. Before the hearing.
Pretext™ reads the whole file, discovery, body camera, recorded calls, years of messages and filings, and hands the attorney a court-ready analysis with a source behind every line. Built in Baltimore with working defense and family attorneys.
Zero data retention AI: no prompt logging, no caching, no training on your cases. See how that is enforced
Drop the file in. Run the analysis. Walk in prepared.
No templates to fill and no prompts to write. Pretext reads what the other side handed you and gives back the analysis an overworked calendar never leaves time for.
Upload the whole file
Scanned PDFs, Word and Excel files, photos, text exports, whole zip archives and folders, body camera and audio up to 10 GB per file. Everything is read or OCR'd and every recording is transcribed with timestamps and speaker labels. A 65-page packet is read in about 20 seconds.
One click runs everything
The analyses for that case type run together and land in minutes: charges against the evidence, the footage against the reports, the bail packet, the protective order, the family chronology. Every citation is checked against the official statute text and the official appellate corpus before you see it.
Court-ready output
A whole-case picture up top. Beneath it, sectioned reports with source citations, a dated chronology that prints as an exhibit, a case assistant that answers from the file, and a notes tab that keeps the running record with the case.
Built for the cases small firms actually work.
Each practice area is its own module with its own license. A firm running two practices holds two, and the criminal partner and the family partner work in the same isolated environment.
DUI and traffic, bail review, body camera, protective orders
Charge-by-charge analysis grounded in the official Code, the footage checked against the written report, bail arguments inside the 24 to 48 hour window, and the officer, prosecutor, and judge records for the room you are walking into.
See the criminal module →The whole file, in order, before the hearing
Years of texts, emails, pleadings, and financial records into a dated chronology, a ledger of every filing with outcome and fees, a posture read, and protective and peace order analysis. Firm-private in its entirety.
See the family law module →What used to live in hallway conversations
Official rosters for every state we serve, coded feedback from member firms with no name attached to who said it, Brady and Giglio disclosures on officer profiles, and your firm's own private notes beside them.
See the network →Honest about what is verified. Ruthless about confidentiality.
Pretext was built by people who have watched AI tools invent case law. It is designed so that cannot be papered over, and confidentiality gets the same treatment: enforced by the database engine and the platform, not by policy promises.
Zero data retention AI
Google Cloud formally granted FiveFold an exception to prompt logging for Pretext production, and caching is disabled at the platform level. The AI reads your case, answers, and keeps nothing.
Firm isolation inside the database engine
Your cases, clients, and notes are structurally invisible to every other firm. A query that forgets its filter still returns nothing from another firm, because the engine already filtered it.
A case that does not exist is refused, not invented
Every citation is checked against the official appellate corpus for the case's state and the federal tier. Sources render as Attorney Verified only when a human has verified them.
Nothing leaves but structured codes
The only data that ever reaches the shared layer is coded, de-identified outcome data from criminal matters. Family and disciplinary matters never leave at all.

FiveFold Intelligence
FiveFold Intelligence Corp. is a Baltimore technology company building intelligence platforms for legal professionals working in high-consequence environments. Pretext™, its flagship platform, was shaped case by case alongside working Maryland attorneys. Their complaints became its features.
It is not a fair fight. The State has staff, time, and a records system. A solo defense attorney has a discovery dump and a hearing date. Pretext exists to even it.
Maryland first, by design. Virginia and Pennsylvania now. Then everywhere the same problem exists.
Try it on your own matters. Two weeks, free.
Your firm gets its own isolated environment the same day. Upload a redacted file or run a live case alongside your normal process and see what the analysis catches. No setup, no card, no obligation.
