The Problem
Family law litigants and their attorneys face a brutal choice: pay forensic CPAs $50,000+ for weeks of manual work to prove separate property claims through bank statement tracing, or risk having their evidence rejected in court as inadmissible. Existing tools (Excel, generic OCR, AI summarizers) either fail on messy PDFs or introduce hallucinations that make evidence inadmissible under the Daubert standard. There's no deterministic, auditable solution.
What I'm Thinking of Building
AuditChain automates forensic accounting using a deterministic state-machine engine (no AI hallucinations) that implements the Lowest Intermediate Balance Rule—the legal standard courts recognize. Upload bank statement PDFs, and our spatial-grid OCR reconstructs perfect ledgers even from corrupted PDFs. The engine replays every transaction chronologically, generates a provably correct audit trail, and exports a court-ready report with an attachment-grade transaction log. All work is fully reproducible and Daubert-compliant.
Who It's For
Family law attorneys and forensic CPAs at mid-size firms (10-50 practitioners) handling contested divorces with commingled assets; also litigation support firms and forensic accounting practices that white-label to law firms.
Key Features (Planned)
- Spatial-grid OCR that reconstructs ledgers from corrupted bank statement PDFs
- Deterministic LIBR engine replays all transactions—every result is reproducible and auditable
- Daubert-compliant transaction ledger and court-ready PDF report export
- Integrates with law firm case management systems (Clio, Everlaw API ready)
I'm validating this idea before writing a single line of code. If this resonates with you, I'd love your feedback:
If you handle family law cases with commingled assets, would you pay $3.5k per case to replace a $50k forensic audit, if the output was court-admissible and took 2 hours instead of 2 weeks?
