The deposition, measured.

Demur builds live deposition intelligence for litigators. We also publish the numbers: original research from public dockets, famous depositions graded on the record, and a free tool any examiner can run. Everything below is public, citable, and reproducible.

The story in one paragraph

Every litigator has had the same bad moment: you read the transcript two weeks later and see the answer that changed the case, the objective you never got back to, the question you should have asked while the witness was still in the chair. The miss was never that the fact was impossible to find — it is that the window to use it was minutes, and it closed. Demur follows the examination live, against the examiner’s own outline and record, and puts the next useful question in front of them while the witness can still answer it.

Original research you can cite

The Miami-Dade Deposition Report tracks six active medical-malpractice dockets: 733 filings, of which 101 are deposition filings — and 28% of those are schedule changes (amendments and cancellations). One case ran 15 deposition settings in 30 days. The page carries its own method note; the underlying counts are reproducible from the public dockets.

The Graded series

Famous public-record depositions and trial examinations, run through the free Deposition Grader with the flags left unedited: Richard Sackler (Kentucky v. Purdue Pharma), Bill Gates (U.S. v. Microsoft), and Sundar Pichai and Satya Nadella (U.S. v. Google). Every episode carries a method note with its public-record source; the same input produces the same output for anyone. The series index is the best starting point.

The free tool

The Deposition Grader reads a transcript the way a second chair would: answers that stopped being answers, long narrative runs, evasions, hedge stacks, and whether the examiner’s own outline actually got covered. It is free, and nothing is uploaded — the grading runs entirely in the reader’s browser, which is the right promise for work product. A 19-second unedited screen capture shows the whole loop.

The honest engineering note: early versions tried to alert on contradictions across the whole file. In med-mal, the record is the chart, and broad-file contradiction alerts misfired — too noisy to trust. We narrowed to high-precision flags attorneys told us they would act on. The product abstains: fewer, better flags, and every flag opens its source page. That is a deliberate design choice, not a limitation we hope you won't notice.

On the record

“Live deposition assistance is something we've been talking about for a long time. I think it would be something litigators would find really, really compelling. Something Harvey doesn't do.”

— Litigation counsel, Am Law 50 firm, on the record

“We realize this is where things are going… it would be good to make use of these tools rather than be left behind.”

— Thomas Quinn, Miami plaintiff firm owner, on training and quality control across associates

Boilerplate

Demur is a team of litigators and AI researchers building live deposition intelligence. The product was developed across real depositions, not demos — including seventeen consecutive depositions run by a medical-malpractice attorney on her own cases — and every flag opens its source page in the record.
