Before — Raw, Unformatted Text
JANE ROE Respondent and Cross-Petitioner, In Pro Per 15 Sample Lane, San Francisco, CA 94100 SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF ALAMEDA MERIDIAN HEALTH FOUNDATION, a corporation, Petitioner, v. JANE ROE, Respondent. Case No. 26CV000123 DECLARATION OF JANE ROE IN SUPPORT OF RESPONDENT'S OPPOSITION TO PETITION TO CONFIRM ARBITRATION AWARD I, JANE ROE, declare: I am the Respondent and Cross-Petitioner in this matter, proceeding in pro per. I submit this declaration because I believe the arbitration award resulted from a process that prevented me from having a fair opportunity to present material evidence. My request is not based simply on disagreement with the outcome. My concern is that procedural decisions prevented important evidence from being fully considered. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct.

Why this exists
Built by someone who lived it.
One patient. No law firm. Three years of binding healthcare arbitration. Our founder — an artist, not a lawyer — spent years navigating one of the most procedurally difficult systems in America, self-represented, using AI tools, public records, and persistence.
What that experience revealed became this project: the capabilities institutions take for granted — deadline tracking, document preparation, procedural knowledge, organized evidence — can be built into software and made available to everyone.
Read the founder's full storyThe problem
Arbitration is where ordinary people are most often alone.
Individuals facing arbitration without a lawyer confront the same four walls. Large organizations don't. That imbalance is the entire reason this exists.
Unknown rules
Arbitration procedure favors repeat players. Institutions know the rules; individuals learn them the hard way.
No lawyer
Most individuals in arbitration are self-represented. Contingency rarely applies, and hourly counsel is out of reach.
Unforgiving deadlines
One missed procedural deadline can end a legitimate case before its merits are ever heard.
Rejected filings
Court documents get bounced for formatting alone — pleading paper, captions, line numbers — before anyone reads the argument.
The tools
One mission. Focused tools.
Every case starts with paperwork — so that's where we started. Each tool removes one barrier between an ordinary person and a fair hearing.

AI and access to justice
What AI changes for self-represented people.
Four capabilities — proven in a real arbitration, now being built into products: deadline tracking so no filing date is ever missed; legal research on standard of care, causation, and California procedure; document organization that turns thousands of pages into a coherent record; and contradiction detection across the opposing party's own documents.
None of this replaces a lawyer. It replaces the chaos that stops self-represented people before their argument is ever heard.
Art
This began with a person, not a pitch deck.
Every surface here carries original artwork by our founder, made during the years the arbitration consumed. Making something was the one part that remained entirely his.
