How Prior Art Sweep runs

  1. Ingest

    Lawrs parses the source set, resolves document families, and builds a citation index so every later statement can point back to a page and paragraph.

  2. Analyse

    Prior Art Sweep runs its intellectual property pass across the indexed set, recording the reasoning behind each finding rather than only the conclusion.

  3. Verify

    Findings are re-checked against the underlying text. Anything the model cannot ground in a source is surfaced as unverified rather than quietly dropped.

  4. Hand off

    Output lands in the format the next person needs, with the audit trail attached so a reviewer can confirm the work in minutes.
