Why DALI exists
Digital asset regulation moves faster than the tools built to research it, and the general-purpose models that lawyers reached for first fail in a specific, predictable way.
The regulation of digital assets, artificial intelligence and fintech has been written at extraordinary speed, across dozens of jurisdictions, largely in the last five years. Much of it is genuinely novel: categories invented to capture instruments that did not exist when the underlying financial services legislation was drafted. A great deal of it has been passed but has not yet taken effect.
This is the worst possible shape of problem for a general-purpose language model. The material is recent, so it is thinly represented in training data. It is contested, so confident synthesis is usually wrong. And it is full of instruments whose obligations commence years after they are made, so a model that treats publication as commencement will answer the wrong question fluently.
DALI was built around that failure mode rather than in spite of it. It ingests primary sources, tracks whether each is actually in force, retrieves against them, and cites what it retrieves. It is designed to be checked.
Principles
What we hold to
Cite or say nothing
A proposition DALI cannot attribute to a retrieved source is a proposition DALI does not make. This costs coverage at the edges, and it is the trade we would make every time.
Unsettled is an answer
The questions that reach a lawyer are the contested ones. A tool that resolves them anyway is not saving time, it is moving the error somewhere harder to find.
In force is not a detail
A great deal of digital asset and AI regulation is law that exists but has not commenced. Treating that as metadata rather than prose is the difference between an answer about today and an answer about 2027.
The lawyer stays responsible
DALI is built so its reasoning can be checked, because the person relying on it carries the professional obligation. Output designed to be trusted rather than verified would be the wrong product.
Who it is for
Built for practitioners
DALI is used by law firms advising on digital asset and fintech matters, in-house legal teams at firms operating under these regimes, and compliance functions that need to understand what applies to them and when.
