AI Output and Legal-State Notice

How to understand Stetful's AI-assisted outputs, confidence labels, evidence coverage, and review posture.

Effective date: July 15, 2026

Last updated: July 15, 2026

Short version

  • Stetful can describe eligible, source-redacted legal-instrument mechanics to a named party without disclosing another customer or source artifact.
  • The mechanic is the useful content; “observed” or “unreviewed” is its review posture, not a substitute for the substance.
  • Support and confidence apply to individual fields. Effective-version and amendment posture identify which instrument text controls. Analysis coverage identifies what Stetful did and did not evaluate.
  • An orientation answer may describe an unreviewed instrument effect. A decision answer must separate that effect from a company-specific conclusion and identify the facts, evidence, and review still needed.
  • Stetful is not a lawyer and does not provide legal advice. Output may be wrong, incomplete, stale, conflicted, or based on limited evidence.
  • A generated answer, reconciled observation, or proposed representation is not accepted state unless an authorized reviewer accepts it in Stetful.
  • Use of Stetful does not by itself create attorney-client privilege.

1. Why this notice exists

Stetful is built around accepted company legal state: the reviewed record of what the company can support from evidence. In this notice, we refer to it as accepted state. The product loop is:

  • Question / Event
  • Evidence Coverage Check
  • Answer / Confidence / Gap List
  • Targeted Evidence Requests
  • Optional Evidence Intake
  • Optional Proposed State Impact
  • Company Review
  • Accepted Representation

This notice explains how to understand Stetful’s AI-assisted outputs within that loop.

Stetful provides informational analysis based on available company legal records, evidence, and legal-state representations. It is not a law firm, lawyer, or substitute for counsel, and use of Stetful does not create an attorney-client relationship.

You are responsible for deciding when to involve qualified counsel.

3. Evidence coverage matters

A Stetful answer is only as strong as the available legal-state record, the evidence checked, the quality of that evidence, and any review or acceptance status.

When Stetful says it has not located evidence, that means the evidence was not located from the state and evidence checked for the relevant question or workflow. It does not necessarily mean the underlying legal act never happened.

4. Platform observations, customer reconciliation, interpretations, and accepted state

Stetful may maintain source-redacted structured representations of eligible legal instruments: party structure, version and amendment relationships, normalized terms, instrument-level effects, and analysis coverage. These records can preserve commercially useful mechanics, such as a renewal period, notice window, consent requirement, exception, cap, or cure period, without reproducing source wording.

“Observed” and “unreviewed” describe review posture. They do not replace the mechanic. An eligible named party may review the structured effect, but an unrelated third party may not. Stetful does not disclose the contributing customer, uploaded artifact, source text, filename, storage location, tenant interpretation, accepted state, or operational conclusion through party-scoped use.

Customer reconciliation is the tenant-facing review layer for confirming, disputing, marking a mismatch, or proposing an observation for the customer’s own state. A tenant interpretation is organization-specific reasoning about what an instrument effect means for that organization. Neither becomes accepted state without the organization’s authorized review and acceptance flow.

Stetful may use support or confidence labels such as supported, ambiguous, conflicted, not stated, unsupported, high, medium, low, or none. These labels can apply to individual mechanics rather than only to the instrument as a whole.

Stetful also reports effective-version posture and analysis coverage when available. Version posture may identify an original, amended, partially amended, superseded, conflicting, unresolved, or missing referenced version. Analysis coverage identifies the versions and supported term families evaluated and where coverage is partial or insufficient. Structured silence does not mean an unanalyzed provision is absent.

Confidence, support, version resolution, and analysis coverage reflect what the system can substantiate from the governed record. They do not guarantee legal correctness or eliminate the need for counsel where legal judgment is required.

6. Proposed state is not accepted state

Stetful may identify proposed legal-state impacts, proposed representations, findings, action cards, or suggested next steps. These outputs are not accepted state just because Stetful generated them.

A proposed representation becomes accepted state only after an authorized reviewer accepts it through the product’s review flow.

7. Human review is required for reliance

Stetful separates three uses:

  • Reconciliation display may show the full eligible structured mechanic for party review.
  • Orientation answer may describe an unreviewed instrument effect with explicit support, version, coverage, and review posture.
  • Decision or accepted-state answer may not treat the effect as the customer’s accepted state. It must separate the mechanic from the customer-specific conclusion and identify relevant transaction facts, unresolved evidence, and review still needed.

Use human review before relying on output for a financing, diligence, customer, audit, board, regulatory, employment, privacy, security, governance, or operational decision; sharing output externally; making or accepting a legal representation; or deciding that counsel is unnecessary.

8. Privilege and confidentiality

Stetful treats customer legal records as confidential service data under the Terms and Privacy Policy. But using Stetful does not by itself create attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection, or a lawyer-client relationship.

Privilege is fact-specific. Consult counsel for privilege-sensitive workflows.

9. AI providers and training

Stetful may use AI providers to process bounded information needed to provide the Service. Stetful does not use Customer Legal Content to train foundation models or third-party models, and it selects business or API services whose standard terms do not use business inputs and outputs for model training by default.

AI providers may process and, under their applicable service settings, retain limited content to provide the Service, monitor for abuse or security threats, comply with law, and enforce their terms. Provider personnel may review content in limited abuse, security, support, or legal circumstances under provider controls. Stetful does not claim universal zero data retention or an “eyes off” configuration unless separately confirmed.

10. Good ways to use Stetful

Stetful is best used to:

  • ask a specific company records question;
  • see what the current company record supports;
  • understand confidence, caveats, and uncertainty;
  • identify the targeted record that would improve confidence;
  • preserve review history; and
  • make future answers stronger through reviewed, evidence-backed legal-state representations.

11. Bad ways to use Stetful

Do not use Stetful to:

  • replace counsel where legal advice is required;
  • make high-impact decisions without human review;
  • treat AI-generated output as accepted state;
  • claim a record is missing before coverage has been checked;
  • upload records you are not authorized to provide;
  • store unrelated sensitive data; or
  • create external legal, investor, customer, audit, or board representations without appropriate review.
