Methodology

How a settlement earns its place on the index.

Anyone can list rumored settlements. The hard part is proving each one. Here's the pipeline — from raw court document to a verified, cited record.

The core step

How AI turns a document into cited data.

Each fact is pulled from the official record and linked straight back to the line that proves it.

① INPUT — official document
② EXTRACTION — AI reads & structures
③ OUTPUT — cited, dated fields
