The Methodology

How we keep the output defensible.

Gate 01

Protocol and scope

AI Use Protocol signed, scope agreed, data room reviewed before any skill runs. No work starts until the basis is clear.

Gate 02

Right model for the task

Top tier for judgment and drafting. Cheaper tiers for bulk processing. Choices recorded. Downgrades flagged.

Gate 03

Citations and provenance

Every finding traceable to source. Versioned change logs. Disclosure versus response, filing versus content.

Gate 04

Self-check before delivery

The platform re-reads its own output. Cross-checked through a second model where available. Delivered with the citation trail intact.

Optional: an additional senior review can be added on instruction, scoped to the matter.

How It Starts

Example

500 document company purchase. Full data room report and red flag review.

The review surfaced material gapping issues in the target. On the strength of the report, the client decided not to proceed. The work is paid to find what matters, and it did.

On hardware: we bring our own laptop, run on your network, and scrub it on exit — nothing installs on your side. Need everything to stay in the building permanently? See the on-premise build under Implementation.

How Silva AI works

Two ways to work with us

Start wherever suits the work in front of you.

Route 1

We do the AI work for you

Work delivered, matter by matter.

  1. On Instruction You instruct us like counsel. Your matter runs on our platform and you receive the deliverables — a due diligence report, a red flag review — per matter, at a fixed fee. Nothing to buy, install or learn. You are here

Route 2

We build AI into your firm

Three steps, each standalone — take one, or run the sequence.

  1. 1Discovery Day One day in your firm to find where AI actually pays. You leave with a costed list of what to build.
  2. 2Training Two sessions making your team confident, safe users of AI on real matters.
  3. 3Implementation Your capability, set up one of three ways: off the shelf, in your environment, or on our hardware in your building.

Shall we start with a Red Flag Review?

A single-contract review tests the methodology and the working relationship before any larger commitment. From £195, same-day turnaround available.
