Technology

The legal AI that doesn't hallucinate.

Zaphir models parties, contracts, clauses, obligations, controls and evidence. Every answer is grounded in documents with precise citations. No opaque generation and no invented sources.

BIRD'S-EYE VIEW

An operational model of your obligations.

Zaphir connects to source systems, recognises parties, contracts, clauses, obligations, policies, controls and evidence, and returns answers with precise citations.

Zaphir architecture: legal sources, obligations and controls ontology, verified answer with precise citation

HOW IT WORKS

Four technical foundations, one promise.

Entity recognition, relation mapping, precise citations, grounded generation. Four pieces working together, so every number and every clause is verifiable at the source.

01 · ENTITIES

Every party, role and authority becomes one unified entity.

The same counterparty may appear under a legal name, short name or identifier. Zaphir links it to contracts, obligations, communications and matters in one operational graph.

Entity recognition: unified issuer profile with linked documents and extracted amounts

02 · RELATIONS

A legal ontology rebuilt from your documents.

A party links to contracts, clauses to obligations, obligations to controls and controls to evidence. A live network of relations, not a flat archive. Queries traverse the network while every step remains verifiable.

03 · CITATION

Every answer reports document, page and paragraph.

No opaque generation. Every clause, obligation and finding is anchored to a specific passage: file name, page and paragraph. If the source does not exist, the claim is not generated.

Precise citation: every answer cites document, page and paragraph

04 · RAG

Retrieval-Augmented Generation, end-to-end.

When a question arrives, Zaphir runs semantic and full-text search across contracts, policies, regulation and matters. Contextual reranking selects the relevant passages for a final answer with automatic citation extraction.

CAPABILITIES

Four functions that work as one.

These are the pieces behind the legal and compliance operating model. They run as a pipeline, each feeding the next.

Layout-aware OCR

Extracts text from scanned contracts, acts, annexes and tables while preserving document structure.

Multilingual embedding

Vector representations of the legal corpus across Italian, English, French, German and Spanish. Questions and documents can use different languages.

Contextual reranking

Reorders search results by relevance to the specific context of the analysis question. A dedicated model that weighs nuance, not a static score.

NER + entity linking

Recognises parties, roles, authorities, clauses, obligations, amounts and dates, and links them to the right graph entity.

SECURITY

The non-negotiables.

For legal and compliance, security is not a feature list: it is a set of non-negotiable architectural choices.

  • Data in the European Union

    All processing happens in EU data centers. No extra-EU transfer, no exposure to third-country jurisdictions. On-premise deployment also available.

  • Zero training on your data

    Contracts, policies, matter files and correspondence are never used to train models. Zero retention.

  • End-to-end encryption

    Encryption at rest and in transit across the entire flow. Keys managed under European best practices.

  • Structural GDPR compliance

    Privacy by design, native right to be forgotten, DPA available. Compliance is a property of the system, not an afterthought policy.

  • Complete audit trail

    Every operation is logged: queries, access, exports. Immutable logs, exportable to your SIEM, ready for compliance reviews and regulators.

  • SSO and access segregation

    SSO integration and segregation by role, company and matter. Each professional only sees authorised documents, with ethical walls and information barriers enforced.
