Case Reconstruction
Every case closed with a record that holds up.
Closeout captures every action on every case, recording who did what, when, and what changed, in a tamper-evident record. When a closeout is questioned, the proof is already on file.
The risk
A dispute doesn't arrive on settlement day.
A client questions their net. A lienholder says they were never paid. A bar inquiry asks how a figure was reached. It happens months, sometimes years, after the file closed, long after anyone remembers the detail. A spreadsheet and a thread of emails is not a defense. What protects the firm is a complete, contemporaneous record of every decision on the case.
The approach
The record writes itself.
Closeout logs every action the moment it happens: every document uploaded, every lien decision, every edit, every approval, every disbursement, with the actor, the timestamp, and the full before-and-after. Nobody has to remember to write anything down.
The register is sealed with a SHA-256 digest of its contents, and every signature and disbursement is issued an HMAC-sealed certificate, so the record is tamper-evident: a change made after the fact does not go unnoticed. The audit trail is not a report you assemble at the end. It is complete the moment the case closes.
Built to be defensible
A record that holds up.
Trust-accounting errors and missed liens are a top driver of bar complaints. Closeout catches them before the case closes, and writes one tamper-evident record of every action, decision, and dollar. If a closeout is ever questioned, by a client, a lienholder, or the bar, the proof is already on file.

Built to be questioned.
Every action, automatically
Uploads, classifications, lien decisions, approvals, disbursements: each one captured with the actor and an exact timestamp. No manual note-taking, no gaps to explain later.
Tamper-evident by design
The record is sealed with a cryptographic digest of its contents, and every signature and disbursement carries its own HMAC-sealed certificate. Alter a figure after the fact and the seal no longer matches, so tampering is detectable. It is not something a client or a regulator has to take on trust.
Evidence, not a scramble
When a client, a lienholder, or a bar examiner asks how a case was handled, you produce one continuous record, not a frantic search through inboxes, folders, and someone's memory.
Outcome
When a closed case is questioned, the answer is already on file.
