§ 01Tessera
One brain to power your firm's AI systems.
Tessera is a server. It connects to your firm's records and maps the relationships between matters, people, parties, documents and clauses, including how they change over time. This connected model of the firm's knowledge gives AI the context behind the work, with a path back to the source.
Claude, ChatGPT, your own agents and compatible legal AI platforms connect through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Our Microsoft Word add-in is deeply integrated with the same Tessera infrastructure.

For the Meridian Health acquisition, how should I open on the indemnity cap given Blackstone is advising the seller again? What's a realistic fallback on the basket, and where have we landed on R&W insurance carve-outs with this buyer?
TesseraTraversed 0 nodes · 0 edges · every claim cited
On the indemnity cap: firm standard for healthcare acquisitions in this range is 10% EV, 12-month survival[1]. Blackstone accepted 10% on 3 of 4 recent sell-side mandates but pushed for 18-month survival on Caraway Diagnostics, since they're sensitive to compliance-rep tails in regulated sectors[2]. On the basket: firm default is 0.75% tipping deductible; Blackstone conceded tipping in 6 of 8 deals but insisted on true deductible on both healthcare transactions[1][3]. On R&W carve-outs: this buyer carves fraud, known breaches, and tax from policy coverage; you negotiated exactly that on Weston Labs with no pushback[4].

§ 02.2Context with depth
The record. The history. The reasons behind it.
Legal knowledge lives in the connections between a document, its earlier drafts, a negotiation and the email that explains it. Tessera makes that context available to the AI doing the work.
The negotiation behind the clause
Trace earlier wording, proposed changes and subsequent amendments back to their sources. Research how a position developed across a matter.
The conversation around the work
Bring email and attachments into the investigation alongside documents, within the caller’s configured mailbox access.
The evidence behind the numbers
Read original workbook cells with their coordinates. Return source-backed tables alongside document passages and explanations.
Relationships across the firm
Map the relationships between matters, parties, documents and clauses. Follow these connections across the available collection, with the source context attached.
Answers that show their workings
Inspect original passages and references. See when evidence is missing or a search is limited, so the next question starts on firmer ground.
Available context depends on the sources ingested and the access configured for your deployment.
