# Court filing and public data monitoring

Watch public court dockets, filing feeds, and datasets, and send each relevant new item to the team that acts on it.

Briefwell is a proactive monitoring tool that watches public court dockets, filing feeds, and public datasets on a schedule and forwards each relevant new item to the team that acts on it. You define what qualifies — a filing type, jurisdiction, keyword, or threshold — and each match arrives with its source and context, delivered to Slack, email, or a signed webhook into your intake system. It monitors public sources only, and for legal intake, workspace guardrails can require that it never contacts or identifies the people involved.

## At a glance

- **What it watches:** Public court dockets, filing feeds, incident and safety datasets, licensing and permit pages.
- **What you get:** Each matching new item with its original source and surrounding context.
- **How it decides:** You set what qualifies — item type, jurisdiction, keyword, or a threshold.
- **Where it goes:** Slack, email, or a signed webhook into your case or intake system.
- **Guardrails:** Monitors public data only; can be set never to contact or identify the people involved.

## Turn public filing feeds into a live stream

Point Briefwell at public court dockets and filing feeds, incident and safety datasets, and other public web sources. It checks them on a schedule and picks up new and changed items without anyone refreshing a portal by hand.

## Only the items you asked for

Give Briefwell the context of what qualifies — a filing type, a jurisdiction, a keyword, a threshold — and it forwards only the items that match. Each one arrives with the source and the surrounding context so your team can act on it right away.

## Straight to intake

Route matching items to a Slack channel, an inbox, or a signed webhook into your case or intake system. Keep a durable record of everything that came through, with the original source one click away. For legal intake, workspace guardrails can require that Briefwell never contacts or identifies the people involved.

## How it works

1. Point Briefwell at the web pages, feeds, APIs, or research topics you want to watch.
2. It checks them on a schedule, compares each result with the previous version, and keeps a record of what changed.
3. When a change matters, Briefwell creates an update — judged and explained, with the evidence attached — and delivers it to Slack, email, your CRM, or a signed webhook.

## Questions

### What kinds of sources can Briefwell watch?

Any public source you can reach on the web — public court dockets and filing feeds, incident and safety datasets, licensing and permit pages, and similar public web sources.

### Can I limit updates to a jurisdiction or item type?

Yes. You define what qualifies — item type, jurisdiction, keywords, or a threshold — and only matching items are forwarded.

### Does each item keep a link to its source?

Yes. Every item carries the original source and its context, so your team can verify and act without leaving the update.
