Datumplate

We build and ship AI document and compliance automation for legal and insurance teams.

Fixed scope, fixed price, one build at a time. Production systems with one agreed success metric, delivered by an engineer who has shipped this exact kind of work before.

Start with a free written diagnostic

Two useful pages about your workflow. No sales call required.

The name is the promise

A datum plate is the fixed reference on a machine. Every measurement is taken from it, so everything built against it comes out true.

That is the job we take on for document-heavy, rule-governed work: the reference point your compliance systems are measured against.

What we build

Document intelligence
Systems that read, extract from, and answer questions over large sets of contracts, policies, claims, and regulatory documents, with evaluation you can inspect.
Compliance automation
Generation and validation of regulated documents and filings, with the checks and human review points that regulated work demands.
Workflow automation
The document-heavy back-office flows around intake, review, redlining, and reporting, automated to a defined success metric rather than a demo.

Shipped, in production

We sell proof, not promises. Systems our engineering has already delivered:

  • US IRS compliance form generation (ACA 1094-C and 1095-C) used in real filings
  • Contract redlining and e-signature systems for a legal technology company
  • Retrieval and search systems over legal and regulatory document sets
  • Production billing and payment infrastructure across multiple payment rails

How we work

Four steps. Each one is small enough to say yes to, and each delivered step earns the next.

  1. Signal

    free

    A written diagnostic of one workflow: your problem in your words, the approach we would take, the risks stated honestly, and one measurable success metric. Useful even if you never hire us.

  2. Proof

    $2,500 to $4,000

    A prepaid pilot on one narrow use case with one data source. A working prototype, evaluated against the agreed metric, with a written recommendation, including an honest one to stop if the results say so.

  3. Build Sprint

    from $4,000

    The production system, built to a signed scope with named deliverables, explicit exclusions, milestone payments, and a defect warranty.

  4. Watchtower

    from $1,000 per month

    Monitoring, maintenance, and drift fixes for the delivered system, with a monthly written report so the value stays visible.

Every engagement is fixed price against a written scope. We never bill hourly, and we price the value of the outcome: hours of manual review removed, risk retired, turnaround time cut.

Built for burned buyers

Most AI projects fail, and most of our clients have watched one fail up close. Our whole model is shaped by that.

A fit if you are

  • A legal-tech or insurance-tech team with document-heavy workflows
  • Looking for one scoped, working system rather than a transformation
  • Wanting cost certainty before anything is built

What you will not get

  • Open-ended engagements or hourly meters
  • A strategy document instead of software
  • Pressure. Read the diagnostic, decide in your own time

Tell us the workflow that is eating your team's time.

Within five working days you will have a short written diagnostic: the problem as we understand it, the approach we would take, the main risk, and a fixed price for proving it on your data. No call needed unless you want one.
