Probatum EVANSTON, IL
Air-Gapped AI Workstation

The AI workstation that never touches the cloud.

One machine, in your office. It reads your matter files, drafts and summarizes, and nothing — not a page, not a name, not a number — ever leaves the building. No subscription software. No API. No vendor holding your client data.

The Confidentiality Trap

Every prompt into cloud AI is a client file leaving the building.

Case files, medical records, settlement numbers — copied to a vendor's servers the moment they're pasted in. Your confidentiality duty doesn't outsource, but the vendor's terms of service now sit inside your ethics posture — and they change without asking you.

1. The Subscription Never Ends Per-seat, per-month, forever — and the day you stop paying, the capability walks away. The data trail doesn't.
2. Associates Are Already Doing It The question isn't whether AI touches your matters. It's whose machine it happens on.

Own, Don't Rent

A machine you own, not a service you rent.

Probatum plugs into the wall, not into the internet. The AI model lives on the box, in your office — it runs with the network cable unplugged. Your staff use it like any workstation: drop matter files on it, get work product back.

Updates by USB Model and software updates arrive on a stick, on your schedule — the machine never goes online.
Breach Surface: Your Office Door No vendor account, no API key, no third party in the loop. Physical custody is the security model.

Overnight, On One Sample Matter

Drop the file at 6pm. This is waiting at 8am.

On the fictional sample matter Morgan v. Lakeshore Freight & Logistics, Inc., the machine read the full matter file — pleadings, discovery, 214 medical records, 96 produced emails — extracted the timeline, flagged the issues, and staged six drafts for attorney review. Machine flags, human decisions: nothing files itself.

Among the flags: a produced email chain that contradicts the defendant's sworn interrogatory answer on dock-plate maintenance.

Provable Zero Egress

The answer your malpractice carrier will love.

Every run logs network state and produces a hash-verified manifest of every source file — before and after. No cloud AI, no data processor agreements, no third party to audit. When a client asks "does AI touch my file?", your answer is: yes — on a machine we own, inside our office, that has never been connected to the internet.

Unplug it and the data still never moved.

Ninety Seconds

I'll unplug the network cable in front of you.

I'm in Evanston. I'll bring the machine to your office, pull the cable while you watch, and run your test file on it. Ninety seconds is all this takes to make sense.

Where does our client data actually go?

Nowhere. The AI model lives on the workstation in your office, and the machine runs with the network cable unplugged. Every run logs network state and produces a hash-verified manifest of every source file. Zero bytes leave the building — provably.

What happens if the machine fails?

Your files are yours, on hardware you own — a failed box is a hardware repair, not a data event. Care & Feeding covers hardware service and priority support, and I'm in Evanston, not a ticket queue.

Do we need IT staff to run it?

No. Your staff use it like any workstation: drop matter files on it, get work product back. I install it, walk your people through it on site, and updates arrive on a USB stick on your schedule.

Can we rely on its work product?

You rely on your attorneys — the machine stages the work. It reads, extracts timelines, flags issues, and drafts for attorney review. Machine flags, human decisions: nothing files itself, and every flag cites the source document it came from.

Can we see it work before buying?

Yes — that's the whole pitch. I bring the machine to your office, unplug the cable in front of you, and run a test file while you watch. Book the ninety seconds, or ask for the sample packet by email.
