The average big case is now five million pages. Cloud AI can read them — but only by copying the privileged file to a vendor's servers. Probatum reads them locally on hardware you own, inside your building, with the network cable pulled.
100% Free Software. No $6.5M fleet doors. No license fees. No support contracts. Run Probatum locally on a single workstation or cluster.
A modern big-litigation matter averages five million pages of pleadings, discovery, medicals and produced comms. Case files, medical records, settlement numbers — cloud AI copies every one of them to a vendor's servers the moment they're prompted. Your confidentiality duty doesn't outsource, but the vendor's terms of service now sit inside your ethics posture.
Probatum solves this by running 100% locally on hardware inside your building. Zero cloud egress. Zero data leak. Forensic chain-of-custody logging standard.
| Privileged data location | Your local machine |
| Software license | Apache 2.0 Free |
| Breach surface | Zero (air-gapped) |
| Network requirements | None (cable pulled) |
On the fictional sample matter Morgan v. Lakeshore Freight & Logistics, Inc., Probatum read the full production — pleadings, discovery, 4.2M produced pages, 240,000 medicals, 96,000 emails — extracted the timeline, entity graph, and issue flags, and staged the drafts. 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. Every flag cites the source Bates page it came from.
| Network egress | 0 Bytes |
| Cloud APIs called | None |
| Source-file integrity | SHA-256 verified |
| Third parties holding data | Zero |
| Chain-of-custody log | Per file, per run |
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 hardware we own, inside our building, that has never been connected to the internet.
Unplug it and the data still never moved.
The minimum hardware to run Probatum locally:
AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, 128GB unified memory, runs 128B+ parameter models locally. ~$2,959. Buy it yourself, from them, not from us.
Apache 2.0. No account, no license fee, no support contract. Clone it, change it, use it.
I'm MadBrad Smith. Thirty-four years running film sets taught me one thing that turned out to be the whole job: span of control. Nobody — no commander, no first AD, and no AI orchestration layer — runs more than five direct reports well. I build AI systems the way I ran sets: narrow specialists, clean handoffs, one outcome. Probatum is that discipline in code.
The software is the gift. The hardware spec is the honest answer to "what do I need." The engine underneath — Developum AI — is mine. The catalog it powers lives at KissMySaaS.Skin.
Here's what it does, here's what you need to run it, here it is.
