Inside Aurora Bench

The patterns buried in thousands of messages.

Years of correspondence, read in full. Aurora surfaces the coercive-control patterns that take weeks to find by hand — then shows you each one back to the message it came from, so you can check the work before you put your name on it.

A pattern in Aurora Bench: each claim carries a verdict — accepted, pending, or rejected — with the messages it cites shown beside it.
01 · The verdict
Every finding gets a verdict.
Aurora proposes; you accept or reject. Nothing reaches your brief unchecked.
Aurora Bench in Preview: the analysis as a declaration-ready document, every sentence numbered to the messages it cites, with the quoted source text beneath.
02 · The declaration
Reads like a filing, already cited.
Preview turns your accepted findings into declaration-ready prose — each sentence numbered to the messages beneath it.
Aurora Bench Communication Overview: unanswered runs, reply times, message length, time-of-day, and messages-over-time for each party, with notes on how to read each measure.
03 · The overview
The shape of the record.
Unanswered runs, reply times, when each party writes — the structural signals the literature ties to control, measured (and caveated where they don't mean much).
Aurora Bench import wizard, People step: a guided setup that confirms the parties and children it read from the messages before any analysis runs.
04 · The setup
A guided way in.
A short wizard walks your evidence in step by step, and shows you what it read — the sources, the dates, the people — before anything is analyzed.
What Aurora Bench gives you

Your machine. Your account. Your case.

01 · Local first

Cases never leave your device.

Aurora reads exports from OFW, Civil Communicator, iMessage, and others entirely on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to us. No copy of your record lives on our servers.

02 · You own the AI

Your account, your invoice.

You set up an AI account once and pay the AI provider directly — we don't sit in the billing path. Cost depends on how many messages your record contains; expect $40–$80 for a multi-year co-parenting export.

03 · A workspace, not just a brief

Read, mark up, draft from.

The cited brief opens inside a review notebook for active case prep — annotate patterns, gather citations, draft motions and filings without leaving the workspace. Aurora Cloud delivers the brief alone; Aurora Bench wraps it in the workflow around it.

Who it's for

For the cases on your docket.

  • Family-law attorneys — brief in front of you, opposing record on the docket, a hearing the week after next.
  • GALs and custody evaluators — reading both parents' message history to write a recommendation.
  • Custody and forensic experts — testifying to patterns in the record without an exhibit-by-exhibit walk-through.
  • DV advocates working multiple clients — quick triage of which records show the constellation.

Cloud vs. Bench

How does Bench differ from Cloud?

Both run the same engine, the same pattern catalog, the same citation discipline. What changes is where it runs, who pays the model, and how much workflow lives around the output.

Aurora Cloud
Aurora Bench
For
Survivors, parents in a custody or family-law matter, anyone preparing for court without an attorney.
Attorneys, GALs, custody evaluators, advocates — professionals working someone else's case.
Where it runs
In our cloud. We process your record during the run, then delete it; nothing is retained.
On your computer. Cases never leave the machine you install on.
Model cost
Aurora covers it while Aurora Cloud is in beta.
Your own AI account. Typically $40–$80 per multi-year record.
Gating
Apply for access; capacity-gated while we scale.
Private beta — request access; we send install instructions.
Output
A cited brief delivered as a self-contained viewer file. Open it in any browser.
The same brief, opened inside a review notebook for marking up patterns, gathering citations, and drafting filings.
When to pick
You have a record and a hearing in front of you, and want Aurora to do the analysis once.
You work multiple matters and want the tool on your machine, with workflow around active case prep.

Same analysis. The patterns Aurora finds, the second-pass verification, and the citation discipline that grounds every claim in the source messages are identical across both products. The difference is the workspace, not the work.

This is the cited brief Aurora produces — open it in any browser, click through the patterns, walk from a claim down to the message it cites. This sample is the Bench view: you'll also see the auditor's correction trail on each claim and the In/Out curation you use to assemble a filing. (Explore — the cross-pattern search — lives in the desktop app.)
