# FOLIO Insights

INPUT: unstructured opinions and briefs. OUTPUT: short, tagged propositions, each tied to its source words.

Turn opinions, briefs, statutes, and treatises into short, tagged propositions. Each one keeps the exact words it rests on, so you can check it in one click.

Maturity: Preview.

Insights runs as a preview on a small synthetic corpus.

FOLIO Insights' review screen with a concept tree on the left and two extracted propositions, each labeled with a type, a confidence score, and Approve, Reject, and Edit buttons.
1. Insights lists each proposition it extracted from the synthetic demo corpus.
2. Labels show the proposition type, such as Best Practice or Advice, and a confidence score.
3. Reviewers approve, reject, or edit each proposition.

FOLIO Insights filtered to the concept Cross-Examination, showing one proposition about impeaching an expert witness.
1. Choosing Cross-Examination in the concept tree narrows the queue to the propositions filed under it.
2. The concept header shows the identifier that each proposition links to.

FOLIO Insights' upload screen with a corpus list, a drop zone for many file types, and a Process Corpus button.
1. Upload a corpus of Markdown, Word, PDF, email, or spreadsheet files, or a whole folder.
2. Process Corpus runs extraction on the uploaded files.
