What We Believe

Most AI tools treat documents as raw text to be processed. We treat them as structured artifacts to be respected.

01

Structure is meaning

Sphere

Documents aren't flat text. Paragraph IDs, revision marks, numbered clauses, cross-references. These carry legal weight. Sphere operates at the OOXML level because destroying structure destroys meaning.

02

Privacy is architecture

Shield

Not a policy page. Not a checkbox. Shield processes documents in-memory with zero data persistence. On-premise deployment. Air-gapped options. Swiss jurisdiction. Privacy that survives an audit.

03

AI amplifies expertise

Sphere

Playbooks encode your institutional knowledge: your negotiation positions, your risk thresholds, your clause preferences. The AI executes. The professional decides.

04

Precision over speed

SphereShield

We don't ship approximations. Every tracked change maps to a real OOXML operation. Every anonymized entity is logged with full transparency. Every legal citation is verified against the source.
