Gage OS

One operating system for all of your work.

statute questions where its research cited the governing section

One desk

Everything a business runs on, in one place.

Built to take the place of the separate tools and subscriptions a business pays for one by one, and to connect what they kept apart.

Matters and programs

Every piece of work is a matter with its people, papers, dates and next step. Larger goals become programs of matters the desk carries forward.

Mail

Your mail in the desk, read and answered beside the matter it belongs to, and drafted with the record in hand.

Calendar and to-dos

Dates, deadlines and to-dos drawn from the work itself, each with an owner and a next move, so nothing waits silently.

Books

Your accounts set up and kept in the desk, beside the work that earns and spends.

Documents

Every file read, sorted into its matter and searchable, with papers drafted and checked before they are sent.

Research

Engines that read their sources in full and answer with them, beginning with the full body of American law.

The web, inside the desk

Web pages open as windows within the desk, so what you find can be added to a matter or a conversation in one step.

Operations

A live view of what is running, what is waiting on you, and what finished overnight.

Your own add-ons

Members can build their own tools onto the desk. What a member builds stays theirs, shared only by their choice.

How you use it

Ask. The desk does it. You approve.

  1. Ask

    In plain words, in chat, from the desk or your phone.

  2. Plan

    The desk works out the steps and the matters they touch.

  3. Do

    It reads, drafts, files, schedules and keeps the record, using the engines it needs.

  4. Show

    Every answer carries its sources, and says plainly what the record does not settle.

  5. Approve

    Nothing leaves the desk, no mail, no filing, nothing shared, without your yes.

Research, measured against Claude Opus

Sixty questions. Gage OS cited the governing section on all sixty.

The same questions, none naming a section, graded by the same rule: did the answer cite the section verified to govern it.

54 of 60

A leading frontier model, from memory, no library · run 28 September 2026

Did not cite the governing section on: After a lender sells repossessed collateral, in what order must the cash proceeds be applied, and is the borrower liable for any shortfall?; In a deficiency lawsuit in Michigan, must the lender prove it complied with the sale rules, and what happens if the debtor challenges that?; I wrote to a debt collector telling it to stop contacting me. What may it still send me afterward?; A debt collector threatened to take action against me that it had no legal right to take and never intended to take. Which federal provision does that violate?; A debt collector added a fee that my original credit agreement never authorized. Which federal provision prohibits that?; What damages can an individual recover from a debt collector for violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act?.

Cited the governing sectionDid not

Claude Opus was run on 28 September 2026, Gage OS on 30 September 2026, on the same frozen questions. Two runs, one per arm.

What this shows

Gage OS cited the governing section on all 60 questions. Claude Opus, answering alone, cited it on 54 and missed six. On no question did Opus cite a governing section that Gage OS did not. On the thirty questions held back from any tuning, Gage OS cited it on 30 and Opus on 27.

What it means

Neither answer set contained an invented citation, so a citation that exists is not the test. The test is whether the answer is built on the law that governs. Gage OS reads that law from its library before it writes.

How this was measured

60 plain-language questions, half on Michigan commercial law (UCC Article 9) and half on the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, a frozen set with the governing section read from the statute text for each. The grade is whether the governing section was among the sections the answer cited, matched whole: MCL 700.781 is not MCL 700.7810. Citations were looked up in our statute and opinion index: 284 of Claude Opus’s were found and 3 could not be classified (the index does not hold them); all 266 of Gage OS’s were found; none was shown to be invented. Claude Opus answered from memory with no tools. Gage OS answered through the desk’s own path: retrieval from the law library, the answer confined to the passages retrieved, written by DeepSeek Flash, an open general-purpose model. Half of the questions were used to tune retrieval; the other half were held out and are reported above on their own. Claude Opus’s stored grade of 28 of 60 counted federal citations written “15 USC” as misses against “15 U.S.C.”; the 54 here re-reads its stored citations with the benchmark’s current matching rule.

How a research question is answered

Five steps, the same every time.

  1. Read the record

    The matter's own papers, mail and timeline come first, so the answer is about this case.

  2. Search the law

    Statutes, court rules and 9,427,210 opinions, with the 77,481,570 citations that connect them.

  3. Read in full

    Every authority that may be cited is read in full text, never from a summary or a snippet.

  4. Check

    Each citation is confirmed, later treatment by the courts is checked, and adverse authority is brought forward.

  5. Answer with sources

    The answer carries its sources, and says plainly where the record is silent.

What is in it

355 capabilities, counted one by one.

Every capability of our own practice is listed in a contract with the member edition, each marked shipped or held back with a reason. A build that leaves one unlisted does not ship.

Law retrieval

Reading authority in full across 9,427,210 court opinions, checking it is still good law, and bringing adverse authority forward.

Case and research tools

Tools for matters, research, drafting and filing on the member's desk.

Filing checks

Checks a paper must pass before it is filed or sent.

Guards that stop a mistake

Guards that refuse an unsafe or unchecked action before it happens.

Practice workflows

Discovery, records requests, preservation letters and the other sections of a practice.

Scheduled work

Work that runs on its own schedule, overnight and between sessions.

Hearing preparation

Scripts, outlines and the podium sheet for a hearing.

Rules and sensors

Standing rules, health sensors, jurisdiction limits and the remaining capabilities of the desk.

The 355 capabilities of the member edition, grouped by what they do, read from its capability contract on 24 October 2026.

How it works

Built the way a careful enterprise works.

Every matter has a next step

Each open item carries an owner, a date and a next move. Nothing waits silently; an unanswered question comes back until it is settled.

Every answer shows its sources

Answers rest on the record and the primary law, read in full. Where the record does not say, the desk says so and names what would settle it.

Checked before it leaves

Every paper passes a gate before it is filed or sent: citations confirmed at the reporter, parties named as the record names them, dates and service checked.

Your machine, our engine

The desk runs on your own computer and your phone. The heavy reading and research run on our servers and come back to you.

Matters kept apart

Each matter is sealed from every other. Nothing crosses between them unless you choose to share it, and every share is recorded.

One record of everything

Every filing, message and decision is written to a permanent ledger the moment it happens, so the history of a matter can always be shown.

One operating system for the whole enterprise, every answer anchored to its record.
