The problem
South African legal information is scattered across portals with limited keyword search, while international e-discovery platforms are often priced beyond the local market.
Direct ordering and order management: menus, orders, payments and fulfilment, with automated order intake and status updates that cut merchants' operational overhead.
Integrated the installer management system into Multichoice's payment process so installers are paid accurately and on time.
What was built
An integrated research, e-discovery and learning platform: hybrid semantic search across more than 10,000 judgments, a precedent citation graph, structured document extraction, AI-assisted discovery and stateful research workflows.
