2 x-rays, 2 pulmonary studies, 2 blood gas studies — pick the right ones.
Black lung claim record review reads the full federal claim file against the standard that grades it. §725.414 caps each party at 2 x-ray readings, 2 pulmonary function studies, and 2 blood gas studies, so we check every value against Part 718's height-and-age thresholds before you choose which 2 to file.
The thresholds are printed. So is the exhibit cap.
We do not build for a case type until we can name the standard that defines a correct output and the person who grades the file against it. Federal black lung claims put both in the regulation, down to the numeric value.
That is what makes the case type buildable. A qualifying pulmonary function value is a table lookup on height and age, not an opinion, and the evidence cap is a counting rule.
A working life, produced in pieces.
A federal black lung file runs 1,000 to 4,000 pages, with 2,500 about typical. It is rarely one production. Clinic charts, hospital admissions, operator-ordered examinations, prior claims, and decades of coal mine employment forms arrive separately, in different formats, with the same films and reports reappearing across packets.
Much of it is hard to read before it is hard to analyse: handwritten employment forms, carbon copies, and scans of scans, next to typed reports whose numeric values are the entire point.
Claim, pending, and benefit figures: DOL, primary source.
4 steps, starting with one real file.
Send one real file
A claim file you already hold, in whatever shape it arrived. We do not retrieve records from providers or the Department of Labor; you bring what you have, degraded scans and handwritten employment forms included.
We return the read
A full inventory of the §725.414 categories: every x-ray reading, pulmonary function study, blood gas study, and medical report, with dates, authors, values, and the page each came from. In the demo case, a wrong-patient page is quarantined before the read starts.
We scope the build
Together we decide what the output should be: the evidence inventory, the Part 718 table row placed beside each value, the conflicting-readings view, or the chronology behind the employment history. Then we scope it against your intake volume.
You run it
Your benefits counselor, lay representative, or clinic coordinator works from the inventory and designates the exhibits. The platform never designates evidence, never invokes a presumption, and never decides a claim.
The rules the platform never breaks.
EVERY LINE CITED
HIPAA, under a signed BAA
Every file is handled under our Business Associate Agreement, from the first byte.
Never trains a model
Your records are never used to train any AI model — ours or anyone else's.
Every line cited
If we can't cite it, we don't say it. Every sentence links to its source page.
Deleted after delivery
Files are deleted 30 days after delivery, with a full audit log of every access.
7 capabilities behind every evidence inventory.
The black lung record review is one deliverable of the same platform that reads, sorts, and cites the whole record.
Medical Records OCR
Handwritten employment forms, carbon copies, and scans of scans read in full — nothing skipped, nothing guessed.
Medical Table Extraction
Spirometry and blood gas tables come out as values, not prose: FEV1, FVC, MVV, pO2, pCO2, with the height and age printed on the same study.
Medical Chronology
Decades of employment and treatment records land on one timeline, synced to every source page, so prior claims sit next to current studies.
Condition Progression Tracking
The same clinical measure across years of studies, lined up so a trend is visible instead of buried in separate reports.
Medical Record Deduplication
Decades of mine employment and treatment records arrive across multiple productions, and the same x-ray reading or PFT study can land in the file twice. Every duplicate is confidence-scored and collapsed to one canonical page — before it burns one of the 2 exhibit slots §725.414 allows.
Missing Records Identification
A prior claim or treatment note is referenced in the file but the underlying record was never produced. The gap is named before an exhibit slot is designated for it, since §725.414 leaves no room to designate twice.
Cross-Exam Simulator (beta)
Before the Office of Administrative Law Judges hearing, this beta tool drafts the likely cross-examination lines from the file's own inconsistencies — a PFT that doesn't match the B-read, a history that shifts between visits. A rehearsal tool, not a legal opinion.

No obligation. If the case type is buildable we'll scope it; if it isn't, we'll say so.
