I guess the profit is where the hazards lie! Skimming your landing page, it sounds like you're making meaningful efforts to compensate for the aspects of LLM that horrify us around here: sounds like you're primarily providing direct references to the "needles" in the case record haystack, rather than synthesized "insights"; serving the legal professionals themselves with a specific mundane research task of theirs rather than playing lawyer for consumers or purporting to produce polished results.

Better you than me, but the very best of luck to you, and congratulations on your launch.

Yes, we are not using the dreaded RAG to accomplish this task, although we do have it available if a customer wants to chat with their case documents.
I get why you’d want to distinguish yourself from competition that relies heavily on RAG, but “chatting” is putting it mildly.

I’d use RAG with prompts like “what was billed but did not produce a record”. Or rehydrating the context of, for example, the hospital’s own model for predicted drug interactions. I could see it being lucrative if that model produced those results without traceability.
