Firm lane

Briefings, memos and agent notes

Kind: A model's output inside a law firm's workspace, through the platform's gateway.

Availability

Owner-gatedWaits on the platform's owner to connect the model provider for law-firm workspaces; until then every model door answers 503.

Door: /api/cron/monday-briefing · /api/admin/dispute-readiness-narrative · /api/admin/statute-change-sweep · /agents
Unlocks with: A law firm's staff session, signed in with its second factor.

Every status follows one rule from this deployment's own configuration: a capability is marked shipped only when everything it needs is in place.

What it does

The Monday briefing, a summary over the dispute-readiness checklist, statute-change memos, the overdue note on a firm's matter, and the matter agents' letters and hearing notes, each composed from the firm's own records.

Keep in mind

Work product for the firm's own attorney to decide: the firm's tool, under the firm's own attorney, and never advice from EstateDraft.

Limits

A matter agent stops for a person's approval between consequential steps.
Runs only on Claude Opus through the platform's gateway, after its cost is reserved against the monthly spending ceilings; the self-help service has no door to it.

What it refuses

Answer	HTTP	Meaning
`consumer-ai-retired`	410	On the self-help service this door answers 410 before any model call or write; it serves a law firm's workspace.
`forbidden`	403	The session is not the firm's staff for this matter; the door reads nothing further.
`mfa-required`	—	A staff session needs its second factor before any staff door opens: 401 to verify it, 403 to set one up.
`no-key`	503	When the model provider is not connected, the gateway refuses before any network call.
`surface-disabled`	503	An operator switched this engine off; it refuses until it is switched back on.
`spend-ceiling`	429	The month's model spending ceiling is reached: the call is refused, never run unmetered.
`spend-meter-unavailable`	503	The spend meter could not be reached: the call is refused, never run unmetered.
