Broad reasoning is no longer the missing ingredient.
The best systems already reason across an enormous universe of subjects, jurisdictions, authorities, documents, and tasks.
Our story
The system the defense always needed — built by someone who lived without it.

The problem
Scaffold Law never fought fair.
New York Labor Law §§ 240(1) and 241(6) place near-absolute pressure on owners, contractors, and insurers. Every claim compounds into a larger liability system — and the defense meets it one file at a time.
-
20+ years in the defense
Built from the ground level of the law.
After more than two decades defending these cases, the same failure kept returning: no one could continuously read every decision, connect every participant, and carry what the defense learned into the next file.

Project 240
Documenting what the law became.
Project 240 traces how the statute was judicially transformed — the legal and economic record that makes the case for a smarter defense.

The answer
One narrow purpose, carried all the way through.
Rayne is not a general legal copilot. It is the queryable, cited intelligence system for defending §§ 240(1) and 241(6) matters — organized so the defense can finally carry its knowledge forward.
Forthcoming
A founder’s walkthrough is on the way
A recorded presentation on why Rayne was built — and how it works — will be published here.
