The concept

Semantic AI database

Subsumio doesn't just store documents — it builds a semantic case knowledge base so AI can understand context, detect risk, and ground results in verifiable sources.

Understanding instead of keyword search

Traditional systems store files and metadata. Subsumio models meaning: statements, roles, events, norms, and evidence chains are linked in a semantic structure — so AI can operate in case context.

Finds what you mean — not just what you type

Semantic search understands synonyms, legal phrasing, and context — reducing “hit-or-miss” results and saving time in complex matters.

Cross-check across the entire case

Contradictions, timelines, party roles, and evidence references are cross-checked across the case — lowering the risk of missing critical details.

Grounded and auditable

Outputs are tied to sources. Combined with audit trails and role-based access, this is substantially safer for compliance than ungrounded chat answers.

Traditional database vs. semantic knowledge base

Traditional
  • Index: keywords/metadata
  • Search: hit list, manual filtering
  • Linking: folders/files, little cross-logic
  • Risk: details are easy to miss
Semantic knowledge base
  • Index: meaning + context (semantic)
  • Search: context-aware, fewer false hits
  • Linking: case graph (roles/events/evidence)
  • Risk: automated cross-check + evidence linkage

Every case makes it smarter — without client risk

When matters are processed, the system derives abstracted patterns (e.g., typical argument chains, norm references, deadline and event structures). These patterns can — anonymized and aggregated — improve suggestion quality. Raw documents are not shared across firms.

Faster onboarding for new matters

Recurring patterns speed up orientation — from first upload to actionable guidance.

Better norm application in context

Suggestions become more context-aware as similar structural and argument patterns are recognized.

Governance-ready

Anonymization and aggregation are prerequisites — compliance remains part of the architecture.
