The Redactor
Paste raw notes with client names and identifying details. Get the same text back with placeholders substituted in, plus a legend mapping placeholders to originals. The legend stays in your browser.
- Good at:
- Converting raw notes into placeholder-substituted text suitable for every other Prevaldi tool.
- Not for:
- Documents you plan to send to clients, courts, or opposing counsel — this is an internal preparation tool.
Workflow assistance only. Review the substituted text before pasting it anywhere else.
The Redactor is one tool where the data flow is different from the others: we do need to see the raw text to produce the placeholder-substituted version. We still don’t log the content. The legend is generated server-side along with the substitution and returned once — we don’t retain it. Close this tab to clear the legend from your browser.
This tool is a convenience. You can always do the substitution yourself manually before using the other tools. The Redactor just makes it faster. How Prevaldi handles your data →
The substituted text and legend will appear here once the tool runs.
Questions people ask first
What does The Redactor do?
Takes raw notes with client names and identifying details and returns the same text with placeholders substituted in, plus a legend mapping each placeholder to the original. The legend stays in your browser — it never leaves your machine.
Where does the legend live?
Only in your browser session. The Prevaldi server sees the original text only long enough to substitute placeholders; the mapping is generated and stored client-side. When you close the tab, the legend is gone. Save it locally if you need to un-redact later.
What is this actually for?
Preparing notes for use in any other Prevaldi tool — or in any external AI tool — without sending real client identities. The standard workflow is: paste consult notes here, get back placeholdered text, run that text through the Intake Summarizer, the Demand Skeleton, the Comm Triage, etc. Identity-free.
Should I send the redacted output to a client or court?
No — this is an internal preparation tool. The placeholders are obviously placeholders (PARTY_1, MATTER_A, DATE_X). The output is meant to be read by you and by AI tools, not by clients, opposing counsel, or judges.
What does it catch — names only, or other identifiers too?
Names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, dates that look like birthdates, SSN-shaped numbers, account numbers, and dollar amounts when they appear to identify a transaction. Misses are possible — read the output before treating it as fully scrubbed.
