A rare 1776 copy of the Declaration of Independence, one of the 11 surviving copies of the so-called "Exeter Declarations", and the first to be found outside the United States, has been discovered!
Where was it? Tucked inside the papers of a captured American ship. It sat in an archive for two centuries!
For two centuries, one of the most important documents in American history was basically hiding in paperwork.
That is the whole problem with source material.
The documents that matter are not always where people expect them to be. They hide in archives, court files, agency folders, docket attachments, scanned PDFs, old databases, mislabeled exhibits, and formats nobody wants to open.
That is the world @vulcantechteam is built for.
Legal AI can't stop at summaries of what the law supposedly says. It has to find the source, preserve the path back to it, and show why that document matters in context.
A founding document sat unnoticed for two centuries because it looked like just another file. That's exactly why the source matters.
Happy 250th.
