Category
Practice software built around the matter file — intake, conflict checks, document workflows, deadlines and billing on one system you can host yourself.
In this category
1 system, each with its real release status attached. Every one can be self-hosted.
Systems
Release status is derived from each system's twelve release gates, so these cards say the same thing the system's own page does.
Run a legal practice on one system — intake through conflict checks, drafting, deadlines and billing, with the matter file as the spine.
Scope
The business functions a system in this category is expected to handle.
Evaluating
Useful whether or not you buy from Botlane — these are the questions worth asking of any system in this category.

Assistance that produces confident text without provenance is a hazard in legal work. Retrieval and citation matter more than fluency.
