Axiom is the Darwin Suite's product for legal work: a workspace where a firm's documents are read, compared and drafted with the help of a language model. Documents are gathered into projects, questioned one at a time in the Assistant or many at once in a tabular review, and the answers point back to the passage they came from.
Built around the matter
Law firms that work in intellectual property rely on efficient tools to give clients the highest level of service. Legal work is organised by matter, and legal software usually is not.
Darwin Axiom makes the matter the container: documents, folders, assistant conversations and review grids sit in the project and are shared with colleagues in one action. Ask the assistant to compare clause 14 with your standard: it reads both, answers with citations, and returns the amended agreement as Word tracked changes. Review fifty contracts with four questions each in one grid that a partner can sign off cell by cell. Write your house method down as Knowledge templates, so every lawyer in the firm reviews a licence the same way.
For the IP practice group, Darwin Ignite handles docketing, deadlines, post and client letters. Darwin Lightbox lets clients follow their cases and give instructions without a single status email.

Questions people ask
For teams who work through volumes of documents: law firms, in-house legal departments and anyone whose day involves reading contracts, filings or correspondence to answer the same question across many of them. No technical knowledge is assumed. Questions are written in ordinary language, and the answers come back the same way.
How does Axiom relate to the rest of the Darwin Suite?
Axiom signs in through the same account as the other Darwin products, so one set of credentials reaches all of them. A person may belong to more than one organisation; everything in Axiom -- projects, documents, reviews and analysis templates -- belongs to the account chosen at sign-in, and switching account changes what is on screen. Nothing is ever visible from one account to another.
How are Axiom credits counted?
A credit is a token actually consumed by the model, counted after each answer rather than estimated before it, so a short question costs less than a long one. The monthly allowance comes with the subscription plan and is shared by everyone in the account. When the balance reaches zero, the actions that call a model stop until the allowance renews or more is added; nothing already produced is lost, and everything already on screen stays readable.
A project is a matter: a named place to keep the documents that belong together, with a client or matter reference and a practice area. Reviews and conversations can be started inside it, and a document drafted in one of them is filed there. Work does not have to sit in a project -- a document can also live on its own in Files -- but a project is what keeps one matter's material in one place.
In two places. Inside a project, alongside the matter they belong to; or in Files, the library for documents that belong to no particular matter. Models keeps a separate library of document models to draft from. Wherever a document sits, every version of it is kept -- uploaded or generated -- and any version can be downloaded later, not only the most recent one.
Can I share a project or a review with a colleague?
Yes. A project and a tabular review each carry a list of the colleagues who may open them, chosen from the active members of the same account -- somebody outside the account, or a member who is no longer active, cannot be added. Sharing a project shares the documents in it. If any of those is private, Axiom says so before sharing and asks whether to make them readable or to leave things as they were.
What does marking a document private do?
It keeps the document to the person who put it there. Nobody else in the account can open it, download it or see it quoted, and it drops out of the rows of any review a colleague looks at, taking the answers extracted from it with it. The restriction follows the document rather than a copy of it: every version, every proposed change and any document drafted out of it inherits the same restriction.
