Value proposition
The Disclosure Shield
Eliminate the surprise in discovery and protect conviction integrity.
1. The prosecutor's pain points in 2026
The Kyles trap
Prosecutors are responsible for knowing what is in police files, even if police do not tell them. In a world of digital records, ignorance is no defense.
Discovery deadlines
Accelerated discovery rules mean Brady material must be turned over within 20 to 30 days of arraignment or cases are at risk.
Inconsistent lists
A DA may disclose an officer while the City Attorney defends that same officer. The inconsistency is a defense malpractice magnet.
Political hot potato
Secret lists erode trust. Offices need a neutral, structured process that withstands public scrutiny.
- Risk Convictions fall when credibility disclosures lag.
- Speed AI-assisted defense teams find issues faster than manual review.
- Consistency Offices need a single source of disclosure truth.
2. Our solution: the Credibility Disclosure Workspace (CDW)
Conviction integrity starts with data integrity. The Credibility Disclosure Workspace (CDW) is a pre-trial due diligence engine that replaces static lists with a dynamic cross-reference workflow.
Automated notice
Notice of potential disclosure
When a case is filed, badge numbers are cross-referenced against public and internal conduct data for immediate flagging.
Giglio audit trail
Receipts for due diligence
A permanent record of why an officer was or was not disclosed in each case.
Cross-jurisdiction alerts
Stop the wander
Alerts flag credibility issues across neighboring counties so officers do not slip through disclosure cracks.
3. Partnership tiers
Discovery readiness
For offices where disclosure information is already public. We index what is available so ADAs can find it fast before hearings.
Includes
- Link-out directory to published resources
- Structured index from public sources only
- Policy and process page
This tier positions your office as proactive and transparent without new burden.
The Giglio Vault
A private, role-controlled workspace to manage intake, review, approval, case linkage, and disclosure outputs with a defensible audit log.
Includes
- Role-based access and approvals
- Evidence linking and status controls
- Audit logs and access logging
- Retention controls and secure hosting
Built for offices that need a defensible workflow, not a public list.
Hybrid option
Publish policy and aggregate stats publicly while keeping names and case workflow private.
Public examples
- Protocol overview
- Aggregate counts by category or time
- High-level standards and review process
Private examples
- Names and details
- Supporting materials
- Case linkage and disclosure outputs
4. How we keep this responsible
- Work product isolation: Internal notes and materiality assessments stay protected from disclosure outputs.
- Case-tethered disclosure: Notices link to specific case numbers and deadlines to preserve prosecutorial immunity.
- Due diligence audit trail: Immutable records of reasonable inquiry for post-conviction challenges.
- Immutable permissions: MFA and role-based access for discovery officers only.
- Correction and contest workflow: Fix factual errors without silent edits.
- Scoped tooling: This is workflow support, not legal advice.
- How do you receive misconduct notices today?
- Do you use bright-line disclosure rules or committee review?
- How do you track which officers were disclosed in which cases?
- What CJIS or state retention requirements govern non-disclosed files?
Privilege & immunity FAQ
Protecting your legal shield
Built to prevent waiver of privilege and preserve prosecutorial immunity while improving discovery compliance.
How do you protect opinion work product?
The CDW treats Brady analysis as a legal analysis workspace. Internal materiality assessments stay isolated from disclosure outputs under the attorney work product doctrine.
How does this protect against Section 1983 claims?
The system prioritizes case-specific disclosures instead of extra-judicial lists, keeping actions functionally prosecutorial and aligned with absolute immunity.
Can the system help with Kyles compliance?
Yes. The CDW flags unreviewed data gaps from local IA feeds, documenting reasonable diligence before discovery deadlines.
