Expert Witness Simulation

Decades of expert
intelligence. In minutes.

Frontier-AI archetypes generate the strategic artifact a senior expert produces (likely opinion, cross-examination weaknesses, methodology challenges, settlement-range implications) in ~60 to 90 seconds. PhD-class reasoning across every domain that matters. Built deep, vertical by vertical.

Individual simulations are $50 each. Firms run on credit plans with volume pricing; example cases are always free.

Cross-examination weaknesses
Post-hoc window selection (Anadarko parallel). Confounding-events gap. Leakage doctrine under Bricklayers.

Methodology challenges
FRE 702 / Daubert: error-rate disclosure incomplete. Peer-review absent on extended-window method.

Methodology challenge likelihood: high. Verdict-band shift if excluded: −$48M to −$62M (directional).
The Thesis

Frontier AI has compressed the cost of PhD-class reasoning by two orders of magnitude. The expert-witness market has not adapted yet. Supreme Mind is the adapter.

The strategic artifact.
The settlement engine.

Layer one: the per-archetype simulation. Each archetype takes ~60 to 90 seconds of frontier-model wall-clock and returns a structured artifact your trial team can act on. Layer two: a thousand agent-to-agent simulations across the case fact pattern, surfacing the top and bottom one percent of strategic outcomes.

Layer 1: Available now

The Archetype Simulation

One archetype. One fact pattern. About 60 to 90 seconds of frontier-model reasoning. The output is the strategic artifact a senior expert produces in the first weeks of an engagement, delivered in seconds for $50 per simulation.

  • Likely opinion: what the archetype concludes given the fact pattern, in the archetype's voice and methodological vocabulary
  • Cross-examination weaknesses: ranked vulnerabilities a competent opposing attorney would target, citations to the case file
  • Methodology challenges: Daubert, Frye, FRE 702 attack surface keyed to documented challenges of named exemplars
  • Settlement-range implications: directional signal on how the testimony shifts the settlement distribution, with explicit uncertainty
  • Public-record training data: bounded, citable, defensible
  • Named-expert fidelity where public corpus supports it; methodology-class fallback otherwise
Layer 2: Research preview

The Agent-to-Agent Settlement Engine

A thousand simulations per matter. Your archetype roster argues against opposing counsel's archetype roster across the full case fact pattern. The top one percent of outcomes surfaces the arguments and strategies that maximize settlement leverage. The bottom one percent surfaces the destructive paths to avoid before they show up at trial.

  • 1,000 agent-to-agent simulations per matter, on the same archetype infrastructure
  • Top 1%: the argument paths that maximize settlement leverage for your firm
  • Bottom 1%: the destructive strategies to identify and avoid

What changes

The same matter, with and without the simulation.

Retaining an expert is a single, late, indivisible decision: one expert, one reading of the facts, arriving on the disclosure calendar. Everything downstream is gated by it. A simulation separates the analysis from the retention, which changes when you see the other side's case and how many readings of it you can afford to test. The cost lines below are deliberately conservative: they use general-practice expert rates, and securities and antitrust engagements run well above them.

NewOn every matter, with each authority checked and the gaps named.

1. Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2)(D): expert disclosures are due at least 90 days before trial, and a rebuttal within 30 days of the other party's disclosure, unless the court orders otherwise.

2. Derived, not surveyed, and deliberately conservative. The ExpertPages fee survey puts the average expert witness rate at $465 an hour in 2026, up from $451 in 2024; economic and financial experts are commonly quoted around $425 an hour for analysis. A 25 to 30 hour opening workup falls in the band shown. That average spans every practice area. Securities and antitrust engagements, where the retention is an event-study econometrician or a damages expert, sit at the top of the distribution, so read the left column as a floor rather than an estimate. Your own engagement letters are the better number, and we would rather use them.

Supreme Mind figures are list prices. The two rows marked New have no equivalent line item on the left because the work is not something a retained expert is engaged to do.

Litigation Verticals

Built deep, one vertical at a time.

Each archetype library covers the named experts, methodology canon, and Daubert-vulnerable patterns that define a practice area. We ship verticals one at a time, in order of pipeline pull.

How it works

Matter-first. One brief, grounded in the record.

The deliverable is the Exposure & Settlement Brief: four artifacts, every supporting quote verified against the public record.

01

Create a matter

Set up the case and upload documents. The file is extracted and available to the analysis.

02

Add archetypes

Add one or more de-identified expert archetypes: the opposing expert, or your own retained expert.

03

Ground it

Optionally ground the analysis in real data: an event study on live market prices via an OLS market model for securities, or a cost pass-through on public FRED series for antitrust, plus extraction from your uploaded documents.

04

Generate the brief

Produce the Exposure & Settlement Brief: likely opinion, cross-examination weaknesses, methodology challenges (Daubert / FRE 702), and settlement-range implications.

Verbatim citation verification

Every supporting quote is checked verbatim against public-record sources. Quotes that cannot be verified are dropped, not guessed.

Cross-examination practice simulation

Rehearse the exchange against the archetype before the deposition: question, answer, follow-up.

Examine the record

Put a question to the case file, the complaint, the opposing report, the brief, and get an answer cited to the page, read as the opposing expert would. When the record is silent, it says so instead of guessing.

Expert-report stress test

Attack an opposing report for its weak points, or red-team your own retained expert's draft before it is served.

Exports built for the file

Export to Word, a Daubert-motion outline, and a cross-examination outline, plus PDF, copy, and email. Deliverable history is retained.

Named-expert overlay

Where warranted, optionally overlay a specific expert's public judicial record. Admin-controlled, not on by default.

Security & Trust

Built for privileged work. Confidentiality is the product.

Matter content is handled as privileged material end to end: where it runs, where it is stored, and what is ever written to a log.

Passwordless sign-in

Magic-link sign-in tied to a named person: a one-time link to a work email. No password to phish or manage.

Firm accounts & admin

Firm accounts with a firm-admin role and self-service team management across multiple devices.

Server-side model

The model runs server-side. The browser never holds an API key.

US-pinned, Zero-Data-Retention

Inference is US-pinned and routed only through Zero-Data-Retention-eligible endpoints. Matter content is not used to train third-party models.

Per-firm US-region isolation

Per-firm data isolation in a US-region database; uploaded documents in a US-region store.

Metadata-only audit; 30-day deletion

Metadata-only audit logging; privileged content is never logged. Deleted matters are removed after a 30-day recovery window.

Pilots add SSO, RBAC, immutable audit logging, and a signed Anthropic data processing addendum (DPA) plus Zero-Data-Retention addendum.
