Defensibleby design

The answer is only part of the story. Dali preserves the review behind the result.

Minimal interior architecture and natural light

OPEN EVIDENCE INFRASTRUCTURE

Dali's benchmark corpus, citation evaluation methodology, and evidence artifacts are publicly available for independent review and contribution.

The Citation Is Not the Record

A citation tells you what was referenced. It does not tell you what was reviewed, what authority supported the conclusion, what findings were generated, or how the review was performed. Dali preserves the entire review process, not just the final citation.

Evidence Across Citation Workflows

Every citation follows the same review process, regardless of whether it originates from chat, MCP, documents, or APIs.

MCP Integration

Dali integrates directly into MCP-enabled agent workflows to evaluate legal citations and return reproducible evidence records.

Generated Evidence

Every citation review produces evidence you can export, verify, and reproduce.

Dali · Review complete

    Legal citations should survive the AI session.

    When a citation is challenged, the answer alone is rarely enough. Dali preserves the evidence needed to reconstruct what happened later.
