For litigation and legal research teams

Imagine a research assistant who has read every page in the file, in any handwriting and any language, and points to the exact page behind every answer.

That's ArchiveLM. And when it can't read a page, it tells you so. It never makes something up.

The Challenge

Why This Is Hard Today

Contamination, asbestos, title and other long-tail matters turn on decades-old company files, permits, ledgers, letters and local newspapers. E-discovery platforms are built for modern email — typed 1950s memos, handwritten ledgers and foreign-language records still get read by hand, at hundreds of hours a matter. Miss the one page that shows who knew what, and when, and the case turns on it.

In Plain Language

Ask It Like You'd Ask a Colleague

When did the plant first receive complaints about the drainage pond?

Every document that mentions the Ridgeway parcel before 1975, oldest first.

Which people and companies appear alongside the 1962 sale?

How It Works

Four Steps, Start to Finish

1

Upload

Your team uploads scans, PDFs or photos of the documents you hold or obtain. Nothing is supplied by us.

2

Read

AI reads every page — typed, printed or handwritten, in any language. Unreadable pages are flagged, not guessed.

3

Organize

Each page is indexed by meaning, not just keywords, along with the people, places, companies and dates it mentions.

4

Ask

Plain-English questions get answers that cite the exact source page, so every fact can be checked in one click.

The Benefit

What You Get

  • Weeks of reading become minutes of searching — find "who knew what, and when" without hundreds of hours of manual review

  • Nothing invented: every answer is tied to a page you can open, and an unreadable page is disclosed, not papered over

  • The records other tools skip — e-discovery platforms are built for modern email, not old, handwritten or foreign-language files

  • Timelines and cited findings feed straight into memos, expert reports and deposition preparation

Security

How Secure Is It?

  • Each account's documents sit in an isolated database and storage bucket, enforced by row-level security — no other customer can see or search them.

  • Encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and encrypted at rest.

  • Your documents are never used to train AI models — we instruct our providers not to train on your data.

  • Documents are stored in the United States.

  • Deleted on request, and removed within 30 days of an account closing.

  • A published list of every subprocessor that touches your data, with its role and location (legal.archivelm.com/legal/subprocessors on the main site).

  • We are not yet SOC 2 certified. We'll share our security overview and subprocessor list on request.

PilotUp to 50 of your own pages, your hardest ones, processed and walked through with youFree
Matter setupWe load and process up to 5,000 typed or printed pages (or up to 1,500 handwritten or foreign-language pages), check them with your team and run a 30-minute walkthrough$2,500 per matter
Additional pagesTyped or printed / handwritten or foreign-language$0.40 / $1.50 per page
Ongoing
Active matterUp to 10 users on the matter team, all research tools, exports and support. Pause or close any time$1,250/month
Additional usersBeyond 10 on a matter$99/user/month
Firm planUp to five active matters and 50 users. Matter setups and extra pages billed as above$4,500/month
Security

Private environmentA dedicated database and storage on your own web address, shared with no other customer. (Isolation, not a compliance certification.)$7,500 setup + $1,500/month

For perspective: historians and paralegals reviewing archival records by hand typically bill several hundred dollars an hour, and a document-heavy matter can run to a hundred hours or more. A typical six-month matter on ArchiveLM (setup plus six months) is about $10,000.

Legal pricing above is pending verification and may change.

How Quickly Can We Start?

  • Day 1: account set up and your pilot pages uploaded.
  • Within 48 hours: pilot results, reviewed with you page by page.
  • About a week: a matter of up to 5,000 pages loaded, checked and ready to search. Larger archives are scheduled with you.
  • Nothing to install. It runs in the browser.

Training & Support

  • Almost none needed. If you can write an email, you can use it: you type a question and get cited answers.
  • A 30-minute walkthrough for the matter team is included, and we load and check the first batch with you.
  • Direct support from the people who build it, by email, with a response by the next business day.

What It Isn't, So There Are No Surprises

  • — It's not an e-discovery platform. There's no legal hold, Bates numbering or privilege review. It's the research layer on historical records before or alongside discovery.
  • — It's built for historical and archival records. You bring the documents; ArchiveLM doesn't supply records.
  • — Every answer cites its page, and important findings should be confirmed there. That's what the citation is for.
  • — We're not yet SOC 2 certified. We'll share our security overview and service list, and sensitive matters can start with a private environment.
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ArchiveLM a replacement for our e-discovery platform?

No. There's no legal hold, Bates numbering or privilege review here. ArchiveLM is the research layer for the historical, handwritten and foreign-language material that modern e-discovery tools weren't built to read — it runs before or alongside discovery, not instead of it.

Can we try it on one matter before committing to a firm-wide plan?

Yes — that's exactly what matter setup is for. We load and process up to 5,000 pages for that matter, verify them with your team, and bill per matter. The firm plan is only worth it once you have several active matters running at once.

What happens if the model can't read a page?

It's flagged rather than guessed. A page that comes back low-confidence or unreadable is marked for review instead of producing a confident-sounding answer that isn't actually on the page — that's the difference between a citation you can rely on and one you can't.

Is our matter data ever used to train AI models?

No. We instruct our AI providers not to train on your data, and each client's documents are stored in an isolated account that no other customer can see or search.

Do you offer an isolated environment for especially sensitive matters?

Yes — a private environment gives you your own isolated database and storage, on your own web address, shared with no other customer. It's a $7,500 setup plus $1,500/month, on top of standard security.

The quickest way to judge it: your own hardest pages

Send up to 50 pages — the faded, handwritten or foreign-language ones from a real or closed matter — and we'll show you exactly what ArchiveLM finds and where it can't read a page. No cost, no commitment.
