Sovereign Legal Intelligence · Banking & Financial Services
Sharper Decisions. Stronger Contracts.
CautiQ builds sovereign legal-AI for Banks and Financial Institutions. ClauseGuard, our first product, gives Legal teams the clarity to review, negotiate and approve complex contracts inside their own boundary.
The CautiQ platform
Contract review should amplify legal judgement, not obscure it.
ClauseGuard is the first product on the CautiQ platform. It combines a sovereign, domain-specific model with your own playbook, giving Lawyers a transparent, defensible path from document to decision.
How ClauseGuard works
From clause to decision.
01
Your playbook, applied.
Your negotiating positions become versioned rules. ClauseGuard reads the agreement and checks every clause against them, consistently, every time.
02
The risk, surfaced.
An indefinite confidentiality term trips your playbook’s position of three years from disclosure. The exact wording is flagged in place.
03
Source-linked, never a black box.
Each finding cites the clause it came from and the playbook rule it applies (NDA-07), with the rationale in plain language.
04
A lawyer decides.
Accept, reject or redraft with the approved fallback language. ClauseGuard assists judgement; it never replaces it.

NDA-07 · retention period
Confidentiality term exceeds your playbook position
Your playbook sets three years from disclosure, with a limited trade-secret carve-out. The proposed indefinite term creates an open-ended obligation.
Recommended action
Replace with the approved fallback language and preserve the trade-secret carve-out.

Bespoke, not generic
Not another wrapper around a chatbot.
CautiQ is a layered, sovereign platform: your own model runs by default, a governed frontier model can be brought in as a second opinion, and your controls always have the last word.
Sovereign by Default
OR64, our own model, runs inside your environment by default. No call out to a public API, no contract text leaving your boundary.
OR64 is built: your own sovereign model, trained for banking legal.A Governed Second Opinion
Approved frontier models can be added as an adversarial second opinion, deny-by-default and per customer.
Only an abstract representation ever crosses the boundary, never your contract, matter or client.You Always Decide
Models propose; ClauseGuard and your Lawyer decide. A second opinion can only make a finding more cautious, never upgrade it.
A model-independent gateway lets us evaluate, route and swap models without re-engineering the product.
Core capabilities
Precision at every layer.
Playbook Intelligence, Clause-level Reasoning and Confidentiality by Design, each layer keeps Counsel in control of the decision.
Playbook Intelligence
Turn your negotiating positions into living, versioned guidance that ClauseGuard applies consistently across every review.
From preferred language to hard stops, every decision remains grounded in your organisation’s standards.Clause-level Reasoning
See what changed, why it matters, and the precise action to take, without losing the context of the whole agreement.
Clear rationale and source-linked evidence help counsel stay in control of every recommendation.Confidential by Design
Protect documents, prompts, playbooks, client identities and matter context with an architecture built for sensitive legal work.
Matter-level information barriers keep the AI from reaching another matter’s data, by design, not an optional extra.
Designed around trust
Intelligence you can Interrogate.
ClauseGuard exposes the reasoning, supporting text and playbook position behind each recommendation.
A Cryptographic Evidence Pack proves each review existed and is tamper-evident, crypto-agile and post-quantum-ready by design.
Sovereign by architecture
Your data never leaves your world.
Sovereignty and security are not a feature of CautiQ, they are the architecture. ClauseGuard, including OR64 our own model, is designed to run entirely within your environment, keeping sensitive data under your control, with a security architecture engineered for post-quantum resilience.
Sovereign by Default
OR64, your own model, runs inside your environment by default: single-tenant, closed-loop. No call out to a public API, no contract text leaving your boundary.
In Your Environment, or Ours
Self-host on your own sovereign infrastructure, or we provide EU-sovereign hosting under a single legal jurisdiction that you control and can name to your regulator.
Matter-level Information Barriers
The AI cannot reach another matter’s data, by design, the same ethical walls your firm already runs.
Your Data, Only Ever Yours
ClauseGuard does not train on your data; tuning is opt-in only, and only on your data. Because the solution is sovereign, only your organisation can access your AI.
No Cross-client Leakage
Your data stays within your environment and is never used to train models for anyone else. Operational telemetry never contains contract text.
Deterministic by Design
Ask ClauseGuard the same question and you get the same answer. Your model and hardware are fixed and under your control, so results are reproducible, with no hidden model swap.
A Post-quantum-ready Evidence Pack
A cryptographic evidence pack proves each review existed and is tamper-evident, crypto-agile and post-quantum-ready by design.
Zero-knowledge Verifiable Review
Prove to a regulator or counterparty that a review followed the approved controls and used only committed evidence, without disclosing the contract or the findings. It proves the process, never the legal answer.
An Answerable Provenance Trail
An append-only audit trail and our Proof of Existence record which models, versions and evidence produced each decision, so you can always answer why.
The sovereign boundary
What crosses, and what never does.
01
Your data stays in your world.
ClauseGuard runs single-tenant and closed-loop inside your own environment. Your contracts sit where they already do.
02
The model runs inside the boundary.
OR64, your sovereign model, runs within that same boundary, with no call out to a public API for the work itself.
03
Nothing leaves.
No contract text crosses the boundary. A governed second opinion, if enabled, sees only an abstract representation, never your contract, matter or client.
04
Only counts, never text.
Operational telemetry that does leave carries counts and timings, never contract content, behind an append-only audit trail.
