For Arbitrators
Statements of Claim, Defence (and frequently Counterclaims), Reply, Rejoinder; Discovery; witness statements; expert evidence, and Hearing Minutes comprise voluminous documentation arbitrators are frequently faced with.
Often, to sow doubt in the minds of a tribunal – and in support of the famous maxim “If you can’t convince them confuse them” – much of the selectively curated documentation is of unnecessary complexity and verbiage.
Kritical ingests the full record, classifies every document, and lets the Tribunal search across all of it – with every finding linked to its source document, page, and quote – so the Tribunal’s reasoning rests on the complete picture rather than a party’s selection.
Why Kritical
- Instantaneous neutral summary of the documents exhibited as evidence as the arbitrator reads through the pleadings.
- Mapping of the various issues with every reply, reference and superseding letter becoming a link from commencement of the issue to the final position of the parties.
- Location of decisive correspondence, instruction, or programme without manual trawling.
- Reconstructing the sequence of events and testing each party’s account against the contemporaneous record i.e. finding the letter, instruction, or programme that confirms or contradicts a position.
- Every finding cites the document that supports the Tribunal’s independent judgment instead of replacing it; the evidence behind any conclusion is always one click away.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I know a finding is accurate and not invented?
- Every finding links back to its source document, page, and quote. Nothing is asserted without a citation you can open and verify, so your reasoning rests on the record rather than on an unsupported summary.
- Can Kritical work across the parties’ full submissions?
- Yes. Kritical ingests and classifies the entire set of pleadings so the Tribunal can search the complete record and form an independent view of what actually happened.
