Screenshot of the Deposition Transcript Analyzer launcher showing its document slots and input form — The Deposition Transcript Analyzer launcher: document slots, inputs, and what you get

What you need

Slot	Required	Count	What goes in it
Deposition transcripts	Yes	1-500	PDF or text transcripts in standard page:line format.
Prior statements and evidence	No	0-500	Complaint, prior declarations, interrogatory responses, expert reports, prior depositions of the same witnesses. The contradiction verifier needs these to confirm alleged prior-inconsistent claims.

Without the reference slot, a claimed prior inconsistent statement has nothing to be checked against. If you want verified contradictions rather than asserted ones, upload the prior statements.

Inputs

Field	Type	Required	What it changes
Matter / case	Text	No	Report title and file name. The deliverable is core work product, so pick a name consistent with your privilege-log conventions.
Which side took the depositions?	Select	Yes	Plaintiff · defense · both/mixed. Drives which statements count as favorable admissions versus damaging testimony from your perspective.
Case theory	Long text	No	Two or three sentences. Used to rank admissions and prioritize cross-examination lines toward what actually matters in your case.

How it runs

A matrix-review pipeline: prepare → extract → wait for extraction → normalize and score → synthesize → render. Extraction pulls admissions, damaging testimony, prior inconsistent statements, exhibits, and objections from each transcript with verbatim page:line cites. Synthesis then compares statements across witnesses, and the synthesis verifier drops contradictions that cite a transcript outside the set or assert testimony that came back not-found.

What you get

Artifact	Format	Contents
Multi-Witness Executive Brief	DOCX	Portfolio summary across every deposed witness: ranked admissions, verified cross-witness contradictions, recommended cross-examination order.
Per-Deposition Detail	DOCX	One section per deposition: admissions, damaging testimony, prior inconsistent statements, exhibits, objections, all with page:line citations.
Trial Prep Workbook	XLSX	Six sheets: Deponents, Page-Line Index, Admissions, Damaging, Prior Inconsistent, Cross-Witness Contradictions. Every sheet carries an editable counsel-notes column.

What this will not do

Replace trial counsel for the final cross-examination plan or live courtroom judgment calls.
Predict how a witness will perform under live cross or on redirect.
Authenticate or admit prior statements and exhibits over evidentiary objections.
Verify that the uploaded transcripts are the certified final versions, or check court-reporter signatures.
Substitute for re-reading the cited passages before you use them at trial.
