Frequently Asked Questions

Is Marten legal advice?

No. First Rule provides software and training to help construction teams understand contracts. It is not a substitute for legal counsel.

What document types does First Rule support?

Prime contracts and subcontracts (AIA, ConsensusDocs, custom forms), specifications, exhibits, change orders, MSAs, statements of work — any PDF or Word document.

How are clause citations more reliable than other tools?

Citations are built into the architecture of First Rule's construction-trained retrieval. Clause-aware parsing preserves document boundaries; multi-pass retrieval surfaces the right language before an answer is generated; source linking ties every output back to the exact clause.

Where are documents stored?

In Microsoft Azure encrypted storage. Documents are never used to train First Rule's models and never shared with third-party LLM providers.

What does the offer include?

One free contract upload + 30-day money-back guarantee on any plan. Account required to keep documents private.

Where does First Rule operate?

United States, in English, serving construction teams nationwide.
