Gov · Justice operating system
Governed justice workflow for public defender and prosecutor offices.
One connected system across discovery, evidence, review, and prosecutor-to-defender exchange. Built for AWS GovCloud deployment, CJIS-governed workflows, and SLED-grade audit demands.
The same governed-execution platform that runs FlowCounsel's firm and public-benefit surfaces, secured for public-sector justice work. From discovery intake through office leadership visibility, on one connected record.
Office operations record
Governed records, review, exchange, and office visibility in one place.
Evidence intake
Reports, media, and case material enter one governed record linked to the case.
Review state
AI-mediated processing stays new, pending review, approved, rejected, or published.
Discovery exchange
Publishing and receipt stay attached to the same exchange history, not email drift.
Office visibility
Supervisors see backlog, exchange pressure, and pending work in one place.
What's broken
Records, review, and exchange disappear into legacy systems.
Offices need to see what entered, what was reviewed, what crossed office boundaries, what was received, and what is still waiting on action. Today these answers live in inboxes, shared drives, and disconnected legacy systems.
See every report, file, and piece of evidence on one record.
Reports, media, and case material stay attached to the same case record instead of scattering across inboxes, shared drives, and disconnected legacy systems.
Know what is new, what is being reviewed, and what is approved.
AI-mediated processing (redaction support, transcription, summaries) stays visible as draft, pending review, or approved. Nothing silently becomes operational truth.
Know what was published, what was received, and what is pending.
Discovery exchange runs through an auditable publish-and-receive path instead of email drift, file-share confusion, and status guesswork.
One platform. Different security envelope.
Gov is the FlowCounsel platform, secured for justice work.
The same audit-bound workflow, citation discipline, and review-state controls that govern AI-mediated work across FlowCounsel's other surfaces govern Gov. The difference is the justice security envelope: AWS GovCloud deployment patterns, CJIS-governed workflow design, GovRAMP-relevant control expectations, and prosecutor and defender domain workflows.
Incumbent justice systems ship as separate prosecutor and defender products on legacy architectures. Replacement requires rebuilding each system. FlowCounsel Gov ships as one platform with one operating record across prosecutor, defender, and leadership workflow. Cross-surface workflows like defender-to-legal-aid civil-need referral work because the underlying platform is shared where it should be. Data stays separately secured inside the CJIS isolation envelope where it must.
Justice workflow
Governed intake, review, exchange, and follow-through on one operating record.
The operational record, review state, and exchange history stay connected. Offices don't rebuild truth from email, drives, and disconnected systems.
Active stage · Controlled intake
Evidence and case material enter one governed record.
Reports, media, and supporting artifacts land in a system that classifies what arrived, preserves the source, and keeps the intake path inspectable.
Connected roles
Defender, prosecutor, and leadership workflow on the same governed record.
Offices keep their own permissions, queues, and workflow boundaries. The evidence record, review history, and exchange history stay connected.
Public defender offices
Defense workflow with discovery review, deadline pressure, and downstream civil-need routing treated as first-class.
Discovery receipt, deadline tracking, client status, review queues, and civil-need referrals live in one defender operating record. When a client matter surfaces an adjacent civil need (housing, family, immigration, benefits), the defender can refer into legal-aid intake without restarting context.
County attorney / prosecutor offices
Prosecutor workflow with governed evidence handling, review, and a real publish path.
Police-report intake, charge posture, evidence review, redaction support, discovery publishing, and victim-services coordination run on the same county operating record. Every AI-mediated processing step stays draft until reviewed.
State and county leadership
Operational visibility built from the same record and exchange history that staff use every day.
Office, county, and state leadership see throughput, exchange pressure, pending review, and backlog truth without waiting on disconnected reporting layers. State-level deployments are first-class, not later: state-funded indigent-defense modernization, cooperative-procurement-led rollouts, AG-office workflows.
What offices get
A complete record, a visible review queue, and a tracked exchange history.
The core system gives offices a clear view of what entered, what changed, what was approved, what crossed boundaries, what was received, and what is still pending.
A complete evidence record.
Source artifacts, case linkage, processing history, exchange history, and review state stay attached to the same record from intake through final disposition.
A visible review queue.
AI-mediated extraction, transcription, redaction support, and summaries remain proposed and reviewable until a human approves them. Approval boundaries are structural, not aspirational.
A tracked discovery exchange.
Publishing and receipt move through explicit, timestamped, audit-ledger-backed workflow instead of email drift and file-transfer guesswork.
Standards
Built to the standards SLED procurement requires.
AWS GovCloud deployment patterns, CJIS-governed workflow design, GovRAMP-relevant control expectations, and protocol-layer enforcement of review state, citation provenance, and audit completeness.
AWS GovCloud deployment model
Built for deployment in AWS GovCloud (US), with jurisdiction-scoped single-tenant or multi-tenant patterns depending on office and state requirements.
CJIS-governed workflow design
Architected around CJIS-relevant access control, audit, review, and evidence-handling requirements for prosecutor and defender office workflows.
GovRAMP-relevant control design
Structured around the security, monitoring, and documentation expectations SLED buyers evaluate through GovRAMP-style procurement review.
Review-state enforcement
AI-mediated processing stays draft and reviewable. Approval boundaries are enforced in the workflow protocol, not in policy prose. Nothing externally effective without authenticated approval.
Citation provenance
Every legal-fact assertion is grounded against an authoritative source with a tamper-evident citation ledger. The same provenance discipline that runs FlowCounsel's public intake standard runs in Gov.
Audit ledger built in
Every workflow event, every approval, every exchange movement is recorded. Audit happens at the protocol level, not as a reporting bolt-on or after-the-fact export.
Process-AI only
No outcome-AI. AI assists with drafting, summarization, transcription, and exchange logging. No risk scoring. No prediction. No decision automation. The lessons of COMPAS-era outcome-AI controversy are built into the product, not retrofitted.
Accountability
Reported outcomes
Every deployment publishes a defined set of operational outcome metrics openly. The metrics span discovery, review, exchange, workload visibility, and audit completeness. Office leadership sees them; coalition reviewers can verify them across deployments.
Time-to-discovery-publish
Median elapsed time from evidence intake to discovery exchange to defense.
Review-state coverage
Percentage of AI-mediated processing outputs that move through an explicit review state before approval.
Redaction approval rate
Percentage of proposed redactions approved as-is vs. revised by a reviewer.
Exchange completion rate
Percentage of discovery exchanges where publish and receipt are both audit-logged within the office's target window.
Backlog age distribution
Distribution of pending-review work by age. Visible at the office level for leadership.
Prosecutor-to-defender turnaround
Median time from prosecutor publish to defender acknowledged receipt.
Office workload visibility
Per-attorney and per-supervisor workload pressure, surfaced from the same operational record as the work itself.
Audit-event completeness
Percentage of workflow state transitions that emit complete audit-ledger entries. Target: 100%.
Metrics are aggregated, not consumer or matter-identifiable. If published outcomes don't show measurable improvement in office workflow and exchange discipline, the deployment shape is revised. Accountability runs to the office.
Pricing
Pricing adjusts to your procurement.
County and state procurement vehicles vary widely. RFP shapes vary. Budget envelopes vary. FlowCounsel Gov adapts to whatever procurement constraints the office is working within.
Adjustable to your budget envelope.
Whatever the RFP, grant allocation, or capital line allows, we shape pricing to fit. The conversation starts with what the office can sustain, not what a vendor catalog requires.
Cooperative procurement compatible.
Works with cooperative purchasing vehicles: MnCCC, Sourcewell, GSA, state-level cooperatives, regional contracts. We adapt to your procurement vehicle, not the other way around.
Single-line-item invoicing.
One invoice per office per period. No per-module billing, no surprise add-on charges, no separate line items for audit, exchange, or AI features.
Multi-year contract flexibility.
1-year, 3-year, or 5-year terms. No mandatory long-tail lock-in. Pricing scales with deployment scope, not contract length pressure.
Initial deployment scope based on office size and workflow priority.
Office size and initial deployment scope drive pricing. Not seat count, not per-feature pricing. Commercial structure follows the workflow and security envelope being replaced first.
Deploy in your AWS GovCloud account when required.
For jurisdictions that need their own GovCloud tenancy or specific data-residency posture, the platform deploys into the office's own AWS GovCloud account. No vendor-managed multi-tenant requirement.
State-level deployments, not just single-office rollouts.
State-funded indigent-defense modernization waves, statewide PD CMS deployments, AG-office workflows: first-class scope. County-by-county rollout and statewide deployment paths share the same underlying platform.
Phase sequencing
What's first, what's next, what's later.
Adoption starts with the workflow under the most pressure first. Offices expand into the broader operating system as scope and readiness increase.
Phase 1
Discovery operations
Evidence intake, case linkage, review-aware processing, prosecutor-to-defender exchange, visible review and exchange state. This is the initial deployment wedge.
Phase 2
Core case record
Case shell, participants, charges, hearings, deadlines, notes, tasks, evidence and document linkage, full activity history.
Phase 3
Document workflow
Templates, draft / review / finalize states, export packets, version history, office-specific work-product flows.
Phase 4
Office operations
Assignment, workload, supervisor review, aging and overdue work, office reporting, bottleneck visibility.
Phase 5
Integrations
Court touchpoints, filing and charging touchpoints, evidence import/export bridges, email and calendar basics, relevant local and state interfaces.
Why this exists
Justice tech is fragmented. The platform underneath doesn't have to be.
County justice operations today stitch together vendor product lines that don't share a data model. Prosecutor systems, defender systems, court systems, evidence systems, and reporting systems all run on different architectures. Modernization means rebuilding each integration point, every time.
FlowCounsel Gov runs on the same platform as FlowCounsel's firm and public-benefit surfaces. The platform was architected against AI-era requirements (review-state enforcement, citation provenance, completeness checks, audit trails) before the justice deployment. Gov inherits that architecture under a justice-specific security envelope built for GovCloud deployment, CJIS-governed workflows, and GovRAMP-relevant procurement review.
Cross-surface workflows that incumbents can't architect themselves into work here by default. When a public defender discovers a civil need in a client matter (housing, family, immigration, benefits), the referral routes into FlowLawyers legal-aid intake without restarting context. The platform is shared; the security envelope is justice-specific.
Stewardship for justice deployments
Engineering rigor at procurement-friendly terms.
Justice deployments include retained engineering oversight: configuration management, integration support, audit-trail review, security-posture maintenance, and compliance reporting.
Retained engineering rigor, scoped to the deployment.
Office size, initial deployment scope, and security envelope drive pricing. Not seat count. Not module count. Single line item on the invoice.
What retained engagement includes
- Configuration management
- Integration support
- Audit-trail review
- Security-posture maintenance
- Compliance reporting
- AWS GovCloud deployment operations
How to engage
Discovery call, engagement scoping, initial deployment.
A first conversation costs nothing and produces something the office can use either way: a clear picture of which initial deployment deliverables fit the specific workflow pain.
A scoping conversation about the office's current discovery, review, and exchange workflow. No commitment. Outcome: clarity on which initial deployment deliverables fit the specific office.
Define Phase 1 deliverables, security envelope, GovCloud tenancy pattern, budget envelope, and success metrics. Documented before any contract is signed.
Deployment timeline is set by office scope, security envelope, and procurement path. Office leadership sees Reported Outcomes from day one, then expands into later phases as scope grows.
Governed justice workflow, built for AWS GovCloud deployment.
Built for AWS GovCloud deployment, CJIS-governed workflows, and GovRAMP-relevant procurement review. One connected system across discovery, evidence, review, and prosecutor-to-defender exchange, deployed first where workflow pressure is highest and extended across the office or jurisdiction as scope expands.
