The tool drafts. A human with a license signs.
Countersign turns a consumer's facts into a cited, ready-to-review legal artifact — a debt-validation dispute, a fair-hearing request — in milliseconds, then structurally refuses to release it until a credentialed professional countersigns. There is no code path from draft to consumer that skips the human.

- Completeness wall — zero unresolved placeholders
- Holding-out wall — no outcome promises in final text
- Grounding wall — every figure traces to a provided fact
Four walls between a draft and the world. All of them fail closed.
The state machine is the product. A draft becomes RELEASED only when every wall passes — and every transition, including every refusal, lands in the artifact's audit trail.
Credential wall
Only an allowed credential — attorney, DOJ-accredited representative — can countersign, and the attestation must be entered verbatim. No credential, no release.
Completeness wall
Facts the consumer didn't provide become [BRACKETED — NOT PROVIDED], never invented values. A draft with an unresolved placeholder cannot release.
Holding-out wall
No outcome promises, no "robot lawyer," no "no attorney needed." The wall runs on the final text at release time — the FTC/DoNotPay lesson, enforced in code.
Grounding wall
Every dollar amount and date in a released body must trace to a fact a person provided — consumer intake or reviewer edits. The guard refuses anything untraceable.
Built for the supervision the profession already requires
ABA Formal Opinion 512 (2024) addresses exactly this shape: lawyers may use assistive tools when they supervise, verify, and take responsibility. Countersign doesn't just permit that posture — it enforces it, and the audit trail is your evidence of it.
Facts in
A consumer's intake becomes a draft built from a cited template — the citation, source, and verification date travel with it.
Review against a checklist
The bench generates a review checklist from the cited rule, so a limited-scope engagement is a structured review, not a from-scratch drafting session.
Countersign or refuse
The reviewer's attestation releases the artifact — or the refusal, with its reason, is stamped into the audit trail. Both are your professional-responsibility record.
Who the bench is for
Consumer-law firms
Flat-fee, limited-scope work priced so clients can actually say yes — with the drafting overhead moved into code and the responsibility kept where the rules put it.
Legal aid organizations
Turn-away rates are the sector's defining number. A supervised drafting bench multiplies what one reviewing attorney's hour covers.
Pro bono programs
Volunteer attorneys review structured, cited drafts instead of starting from a blank page — and every release carries their explicit sign-off.
Honest status, in writing
The working core is machine-verified by a 29-assertion self-check. What isn't verified yet is labeled, gated, and priced into the plan — not glossed over.
Before this touches a real consumer
- Every template ships labeled SAMPLE — pending attorney verification until licensed counsel reviews it against primary sources. The label is removed per template, per review, never globally.
- Reviewer credentials go live only against real rosters (state bar, DOJ EOIR list) — never self-attested.
- The deterministic core runs offline. If a model-assisted intake step is ever added, it ships disabled behind a two-key no-training gate: client facts are never training data.
Licensing, plainly
Firms and organizations license the bench — flat, per-seat, or per-released-matter. Never a share of any legal fee, award, or recovery. The consumer never pays.
