Acquit.ai
Failure-prevention methods from hyperscale cloud and aerospace — FMEA, Lean Six Sigma, defense-in-depth — adapted for litigation teams at law firms and in corporate counsel.
The Stack
Layer 1 · Evidence
MIT open source · runs on your hardware
Evidence pipeline. Multi-source collection, SHA-256 chain of custody at capture, AI classification, court-ready exhibits. MIT open source. Runs on your hardware.
Layer 2 · Discovery
Source-discovery / forensic-discovery agent
Forensic discovery. Surfaces insider-threat, OAuth, spoliation, and bulk-download patterns from Google Workspace admin logs — turned into evidentiary leads.
Layer 3 · Strategy
Adversarial coordination layer
Adversarial coordination. Acquit Score™, Sentient Analysis, ARPN risk scoring — so your team reasons across actors, incentives, and likely moves.
"Information dominance against fractured opponents."
"The system reads the full game state. Each opposing participant usually sees only a slice."
The Problem
Median eDiscovery spend hits $1.8M (RAND). Review still eats most of the budget. Opposing parties move while your pipeline is still collecting. And most AI tools want your evidence in their cloud.
Acquit is built for firms and in-house counsel who need defensible evidence, predictable cost, and case intelligence that updates as the dispute evolves — without giving up custody of the data.

The Gap
The Evidence Pipeline
Evidence collection starts before litigation hardens — not after the preservation letter lands. FMEA is how engineers prevent failures in chipsets, data centers, and rockets. We start left of boom: your evidence base is collected, hashed, and court-ready before the lawsuit lands.
01
Evidence collection starts before litigation hardens — not after the preservation letter lands. ExhibitCTL applies the same failure prevention methodology used in manufacturing, cloud infrastructure, and aerospace (FMEA) to digital evidence. Multi-source, defense-in-depth. If one method is challenged, others back it up.
02
SHA-256 chain of custody hashing at creation, never retroactive. Automated verification with cryptographic audit trails. Every exhibit is independently verifiable.
03
AI-powered evidence classification by evidentiary strength. Your strongest material surfaces first, so your attorney focuses where it matters most.
04
Attorney-ready briefings with severity-tiered findings. Scannable in 60 seconds, deep-readable when your lawyer has time. Evidence-ranked, action-oriented, court-grade.
05
Court-ready PDF exhibits with embedded metadata. Attorney-approved packaging with exhibit guides. Delivered as dated, hash-verified bundles your counsel can file directly.
06
Cryptographic derivation proofs linking every trimmed exhibit to its authenticated source. Opposing counsel challenges your evidence? Mathematical proof it's unaltered.
