Grounded research
Answers are built from retrieved excerpts. When retrieval cannot find an on-point source, Nomos says so instead of inventing statutory content.
Trust
Built so you can check the work.
Nomos retrieves licensed legislation, shows the portion it used, and names the gap when the corpus does not cover the question. Research assistance, not legal advice.
Sources you can open
Analysis is kept apart from Sources. You see the Act name and the portion, so you can open the underlying text and verify it yourself.
Jurisdictions kept apart
Each country is its own corpus. A South African question is never answered from American law.
Licensed sources only
Nomos does not scrape SAFLII for production retrieval. Judgment corpora stay off until provenance is clear. Legislation is official or licensed.
Invite-only workspace
The product requires a signed-in session. Session cookies are HttpOnly and Secure. Marketing pages stay public. Firm SSO is planned later.
Honest limits
SOC 2 is in progress. Nomos does not yet hold SOC 2 or ISO 27001. Coverage for each country is listed below, including what is not in the corpus.
Coverage
What's live

Important limitation
Nomos uses retrieval technology to identify relevant legal authorities, but retrieval may not always identify every relevant provision. Legal professionals should verify Nomos outputs against the applicable primary source and the full Act before relying on them.
