why it matters · the shape of the problem

Halftide Labs has an MSA, a security packet deadline, a DPA clause, and renewal terms moving across different tools. 3ngram gives Legal a queryable trail of who promised what to whom, sourced back to the original message.

Legal work does not tolerate the kind of casual context loss that other disciplines have learned to live with. “We agreed to send that” is not useful unless you can show who agreed, when, where, and under which matter.

3ngram is the compliance-grade system of record for in-house practices. The Halftide Labs security packet, DPA clause, and renewal terms all stay tied to their sources. Every commitment the company made becomes queryable, defensible, and audit-ready.

friction points · what breaks, and what 3ngram does instead
01

Commitments hide in operational threads

Someone promised Halftide Labs the security packet within 30 days of signature. The deadline matters legally, but the promise lives in Basecamp.

3ngram: 3ngram turns the promise into sourced work state. Counsel and the CTO see the commitment, deadline, and original message before it becomes a compliance issue.

02

Clauses lose their approval trail

The DPA now includes an EU data residency clause and the redlines were accepted. Six weeks later, Legal needs to know where that position came from.

3ngram: The clause, source document, and accepted redline stay attached to the matter, so the AI can cite the trail instead of paraphrasing from memory.

03

Commercial terms need legal continuity

Finance confirms an 18% uplift for Y2 renewal terms while Legal is still tracking the MSA obligations. The company made both commitments.

3ngram: 3ngram keeps commercial and legal commitments in the same sourced trail, scoped to the customer and matter they belong to.

faq · questions we hear most from legal
How does matter-scoping work?
Each matter is its own memory workspace. Commitments, decisions, and documents are scoped to the matter and never surface in another. Switching matters is a one-click context switch — no memories bleed across.
Can citations be audited?
Yes. Every memory carries the source it was captured from. When your AI cites a promise, deadline, or clause, the citation resolves back to a concrete artifact you can produce on demand.
Is this compatible with our existing DMS?
3ngram integrates with Google Drive and can ingest documents from file-based DMS exports. Deeper integrations (iManage, NetDocuments) are on the roadmap. In the meantime, commitments and decisions live alongside your existing DMS, not inside it.
