About

ClearDraft is an AI-powered content clearance platform for media and publishing teams. It scans articles, scripts, books, podcasts and visual content to surface defamation, privacy and contempt-of-court risk, then routes flagged passages to media lawyers for expert review. The system pairs a large language model with a custom retrieval-augmented generation layer built on case law, regulatory decisions and jurisdictional precedent. The US filer, Clear Draft Inc (Delaware, Piedmont CA), wholly owns the UK operating company Cleardraft Ventures Limited.

Grounds its risk analysis in a retrieval layer of real-time case law and jurisdictional precedent rather than a general-purpose model, and keeps a media lawyer in the loop so flagged passages come back as a defensible clearance rather than an unverified AI opinion.
