Legal Document Governance

Legal content carries requirements ordinary documents do not: privilege that can be waived by inadvertent disclosure, hold obligations that override retention, and evidentiary standards that determine whether a record is usable in a dispute. Each requires precision about who may reach what, and each is compromised by an AI layer that can assemble fragments across boundaries nobody realized were porous.

Centralpoint excludes privileged categories during ingestion rather than filtering them from results, so no phrasing reaches them. Hold obligations apply to AI artefacts — prompts, retrievals, answers and interaction logs — on the same terms as to documents, because those artefacts are records in the organization's own environment rather than data held under a provider's retention policy.
