What you need

Slot	Required	Count	What goes in it
Exhibits / evidence pack	No	0-500	Documents to attach as exhibits. Include any EEOC right-to-sue letter, charge of discrimination, or other administrative-exhaustion document.
Opposing-party documents	No	0-500	Correspondence or documents from the other side.

Inputs

Parties and court

Field	Type	Required	Notes
Matter / case title	Text	No	File name and docket handle. Not printed in the caption, which uses formal party names.
Court tier	Select	Yes	Federal district · federal bankruptcy · state trial · state appellate. Federal pleading is governed by FRCP 8 plus Twombly and Iqbal; state practice varies.
Court name / district	Text	Yes	Goes in the caption. Use the formal district and division name.
Plaintiff(s) name	Party name	Yes	Full legal name including entity suffix. Add capacity (“as parent and natural guardian”) where applicable.
Plaintiff citizenship	Text	No	Required to plead diversity under 28 USC § 1332.
Defendant(s) name	Party name	Yes	Specify capacity, and add Doe defendants if identities are unknown but joinable later under FRCP 15.
Defendant citizenship	Text	No	Required for diversity. Corporations are citizens of both the state of incorporation and the principal place of business.

Jurisdiction and venue

Field	Type	Required	Notes
Subject-matter jurisdiction basis	Select	Yes	Federal question (§ 1331) · diversity (§ 1332) · supplemental (§ 1367) · removal · original state-court. Drives the jurisdictional allegations block.
Amount in controversy (USD)	Text	No	Diversity requires more than $75,000.
Venue basis (§ 1391)	Long text	No	Plead one of the three § 1391(b) prongs. Missing venue allegations invite a 12(b)(3) motion.
Personal jurisdiction facts	Long text	No	General or specific jurisdiction under International Shoe and Daimler. Out-of-state defendants need this to survive 12(b)(2).

Claims and relief

Field	Type	Required	Notes
Counts / causes of action	Long text	Yes	List each count separately with its elements.
Includes a fraud or mistake claim?	Yes/No	No	When Yes, FRCP 9(b) particularity (who, what, when, where, how) is applied to each fraud-based count.
Statement of facts	Long text	Yes	The drafter uses only these facts. Do not omit material context.
Administrative exhaustion status	Select	No	Not applicable · EEOC right-to-sue obtained · EEOC charge pending · other agency completed · other agency pending. Title VII suits filed without a right-to-sue letter face dismissal; attach the letter as an exhibit.
Damages categories	Multi-select	No	Compensatory, punitive, statutory, injunctive, declaratory, attorneys’ fees, specific performance, restitution. Each feeds the prayer block. Punitive damages need a hook; fees need a statute, contract, or recognized exception.
Demand jury trial?	Yes/No	No	FRCP 38. A jury demand inside the complaint avoids the 14-day post-pleading waiver trap.
Class action?	Yes/No	No	When Yes, FRCP 23 class-allegation paragraphs are added.
Prayer for relief	Long text	Yes	The WHEREFORE block. Plead every remedy you might pursue; courts will not award relief absent from the prayer, except under FRCP 54(c) on default.

How it runs

A drafting pipeline: prepare → generate → export. Prepare gathers the drafting context from your form answers and the exhibit and opposing-party documents. Generate produces the complaint against the selected court tier and jurisdictional basis, applying Rule 9(b) particularity and Rule 23 allegations where you asked for them. Export writes the DOCX.

What you get

Artifact	Format	Contents
Complaint	DOCX	Caption, jurisdictional allegations, statement of facts, counts, prayer for relief, and jury demand.

What this will not do

File the complaint, pay the filing fee, or arrange service on the defendant.
Replace counsel for the final review, attorney signature, and Rule 11 sign-off.
Run a damages model or verify that the amount in controversy meets the jurisdictional threshold.
Investigate facts beyond what you provide. No discovery, witness interviews, or subpoenas.
Calculate or apply the statute of limitations and tolling rules. Verify with counsel.
