The only legal AI platform with post-quantum vault encryption (ML-KEM + AES-256-GCM) and ML-DSA-65 signed audit trails — NIST FIPS 203/204. Searches your entire contract vault, depositions, and case files on your private sovereign cloud — zero data egress, zero shared infrastructure, and no Relativity invoice.
Every legal AI platform makes promises. We make them verifiable. Here is what no other vendor can say — and why it matters for your firm.
ML-KEM Kyber-768 vault encryption + ML-DSA-65 signed audit trail — standardized by NIST in August 2024. Relativity, Kira, Luminance, Harvey, and every LLM API wrapper use standard TLS. Quantum computers will break that within the decade. We don't wait for the threat to materialize.
Not a policy statement. An architecture. Every query runs on hardware billed directly to your GCP account — physically isolated, never shared. No document, no embedding, no query text, no answer ever transits a vendor server. Your clients never consented to their privileged communications touching Relativity's cloud. This architecture makes that impossible.
Not a demo. Not a cherry-picked example. Twenty real legal queries — NDA clauses, equity grants, severance schedules, liability caps, governing law, non-compete scope, deposition testimony — run live against a 150-document corpus. Every query answered with verbatim source citations. Zero hallucinations without a flag. See every query and answer →
Relativity charges $50,000–$200,000 per year and renegotiates every 12 months with your data as leverage. Kira is not far behind. We charge $100,000 once, deploy in ~72 hours, and hand off. Your IT team runs it forever. No retainer. No seat fees. No renewal call.
Relativity implementations take months and require dedicated project management. Kira takes weeks. We deploy the full stack — encrypted vault, proprietary AI engine, web UI, custom domain, SSL — in approximately 72 hours. No procurement committee. No implementation team. No six-month timeline.
Every other legal AI platform charges per seat and uses headcount as a revenue escalator. Relativity, Kira, Luminance — all per-seat. We don't. Your entire firm uses the system on one flat engagement. When you grow, you add nodes — not licenses. And the more nodes you add, the better the price.
Privileged documents processed on shared multi-tenant cloud infrastructure create ethics exposure. Bar ethics opinions in multiple jurisdictions are tightening on AI data handling. Our architecture makes the exposure impossible — your documents run on hardware you control, in your GCP account, processed by software that calls no external API and sends no data out.
Every query, every answer, every document access is signed with ML-DSA-65 and written to a tamper-evident audit chain. Opposing counsel can verify. Auditors can verify. Bar ethics reviewers can verify. Our public key is published on this site. No other legal AI platform offers a verifiable, quantum-resistant chain of custody — because none of them sign their outputs at all.
Relativity costs $50,000–$200,000 per year. Kira Systems isn't far behind. Both process your privileged documents on shared multi-tenant cloud infrastructure. Your clients never agreed to that.
$50k–$200k/yr licensing plus per-seat fees. Documents uploaded to vendor servers. Privileged material processed on shared infrastructure. Associate hours billed to review what a query could answer in seconds. Renewal negotiations every 12 months.
$100,000 flat — one engagement, no monthly retainer. Your documents run on a sole-tenant GCP node billed directly to your account — physically isolated, never shared, 100% data sovereign. No telemetry. No spying. Proprietary AI technology built from the ground up. Zero egress. Attorney-client privilege preserved.
"Find all contracts with auto-renewal clauses and less than 60 days notice." That's a half-day of associate time. With RusticAgentic, it's a 10-second query. At $400/hr associate billing, the time savings on a single major transaction can be substantial. Results vary by firm and matter type.
Natural language queries against your entire document corpus. Every answer includes the source document and paragraph. Privileged data stays privileged. Your clients get faster results. Your firm keeps the margin.

* RusticAgentic = $100,000 flat engagement (GCP) or $125,000 flat (on-premises). One-time fee. No monthly retainer. No recurring fees. No seat fees. GCP infrastructure (~$22k–$31k/yr) billed directly to your GCP account — not included in our fee. Additional query nodes available at $75,000/node (remote, existing clients). Competitor figures from published pricing and industry surveys.
No slide deck. No canned script. You upload your sample corpus, you run your 10 pre-formulated queries, and you watch the system answer them — with source citations — in real time. If it doesn't impress you in 30 minutes, there's nothing more to discuss.
