Autonomous legal reasoning engine for THEMANBEARPIG. Six-layer pipeline (intake→classify→analyze→reason→argue→validate) converts raw evidence into court-ready IRAC arguments with authority chains, impeachment ammo, counter-argument anticipation, and filing assembly. 20+ Michigan authority templates, argument chain builder, gap analysis, confidence scoring. The litigation autopilot.
Raw evidence in. Court-ready arguments out. No human bottleneck.
TIER-7/APEX — the highest tier. This skill implements the autonomous legal reasoning engine: a six-layer pipeline that ingests evidence from litigation_context.db (1.3 GB, 790+ tables), reasons over Michigan law, and produces IRAC-structured arguments with full authority chains, impeachment ammunition, counter-argument anticipation, and filing-ready document structures. The litigation autopilot for THEMANBEARPIG.
"""
ReasoningPipeline — Six-layer evidence-to-argument transformation engine.
Layers:
L1 INTAKE → Raw evidence ingestion, text normalization
L2 CLASSIFY → Lane assignment (MEEK), category tagging, actor extraction
L3 ANALYZE → Pattern detection, contradiction finding, timeline ordering
L4 REASON → Legal syllogism: Rule + Fact → Conclusion, element matching
L5 ARGUE → IRAC/CREAC structure, authority chain assembly
L6 VALIDATE → Citation verification, hallucination guard, confidence scoring
Each layer has:
- Typed input/output contracts
- Transformation logic
- Quality gate (must pass before next layer)
- Metrics (latency, item count, confidence)
