Why Truss

Grounded in the record. Built for the room.

Most tools stop at search. Truss turns the whole case into something you can question, outline from and rehearse against, and it shows its work every step.

Cited, always

Every answer cites the page.

Truss reads the whole record into facts, then puts an agent on top that knows the case. Ask it anything, or have it draft the outline, and its answers come back with Bates or transcript cites you can click open.

A pin cite on every fact, opening at its lines
Flags where a witness’s statements conflict with the documents
Redlines your outline; keep or undo each change

Practice

A live examiner, at real pace.

Practice runs over video, on the record. The AI works through your outline, follows up on hedges, re-asks what wasn’t answered and puts exhibits on screen when it names them. A second chair listens and notes what to fix.

Opposing counsel · AI examiner

Ms. Park, you prepared the March wire schedule, correct?

Taking or defending

Both sides start with a realistic outline.

Deposing a witness, you need the outline to ask the right questions. Defending your client, you need the outline opposing counsel will use, so you can run them through it first.

Why practice

Testimony decides the case. Practice decides the testimony.

Knowing the facts and holding to them under questioning are different skills. Practice builds the second one, for the witness answering and the lawyer asking.

Familiarity

Answering from memory under questioning beats rereading the file. The first time anyone hears the hard question should not be on the record.

Confidence

Jurors weigh how confidently a witness answers, often more than what the witness knows. Confidence comes from having answered the question before.

Common questions

Asked and answered.

The questions counsel ask before their first case. Anything else, ask us directly.

Does Truss replace attorney prep?+

No. You supply the documents and the context. Truss reads the record, drafts outlines you edit, and runs the repetitions. Strategy, the theory of the case and the conversations only you can have with your client stay with you.

Is this witness coaching?+

No. Counsel stays in charge: the examiner asks only the topics you pick, and drills discipline (answer what was asked, don’t guess, don’t volunteer). It never tells the witness what to say. The report goes to you, and the agent’s outline edits arrive as redlines you keep or undo.

Are practice sessions discoverable?+

That turns on your jurisdiction’s work-product rules, and it’s a call for your team. Truss is built to support the protection: counsel creates and directs every session, a case is open only to the people on it, and recordings expire on a schedule you set.

Who can see a case?+

The people you add to it, or your whole firm if you open it up. A witness sees no case documents; an exhibit appears on their screen only when the examiner names it.

Is our data used to train models?+

No. Client documents, transcripts and recordings are never used to train models, ours or anyone else’s. Recordings carry a deletion date you control, 30 days by default.

Can the agent make things up?+

Everything traces to the record. Facts, the agent’s answers and report flags link to the page or transcript line they came from. The quote under a cite is copied from that page’s own text, never written by the model, so you can open it and check the source beside your work.

What does my witness need to run a session?+

A private link, a laptop with a camera and a quiet room. No account and nothing to install.

How much can it handle?+

Whole productions. Drop in PDFs, Office files, images and ZIPs, up to 250 MB a file; scanned pages are read from their images.

Know the record better than anyone in the room.
