§ 01 · Thesis
FIG. CODE × CASE LAW · WHERE THEY MEET
Most disputes settle when someone in the room can read the source code and the case law.
Tailored Mediation is built for matters that exceed conventional ADR. AI-system liability. Trade-secret theft expressed in commits and access logs. Smart-contract disputes auto-executed before counsel can file. Multi-million-dollar cyber insurance coverage fights with TB-scale forensic records. When the dispute is technical, the neutral must be too.
