The disclosure your practice already received,
in the place it should have been all along.
Crown disclosure arrives by encrypted archive, by SFTS portal, by email, by hand. It accumulates on laptops, in download folders, in inboxes that lawyers know shouldn't hold it. The Crown's undertakings, the Law Society's records rules, and the 2024 AI guidance all describe what compliance looks like. None of them tell you how to actually do it on a Tuesday afternoon between court appearances.
Particulars is the platform that does.
The gap
The gap between
knowing what compliance
looks like and
actually doing it
is not a knowledge gap.— It is an infrastructure gap.
Most BC criminal defence lawyers we've spoken with know what
compliance is supposed to look like. They also know what their
workflow actually looks like — a Downloads folder full of
.7z archives, passwords in email threads, body-cam
video they can't open without copying it to their personal machine,
and a sinking feeling about what would happen if the laptop went
missing.
The gap between those two things isn't a knowledge gap. It's an infrastructure gap. The tooling that would close it has, until now, been priced and built for firms ten times the size.
What we built
-
A per-firm intake mailbox that ingests Crown's
.7zarchives, decrypts them with the Crown-supplied password, classifies the contents (Information, ISP, witness statements, audio, video, transcripts), deduplicates by content hash, and files everything against the matter and the disclosure event it belongs to. Every step is audit-logged. -
A matter view that treats the person as a first-class entity — so when a returning client comes back on new charges, their prior matters, prior disclosure, and prior notes are already there. Roughly one in five clients in a working BC criminal defence practice returns within five years. The platform expects this.
-
Inline document and media review with annotation, time-stamped video flags, and clip extraction — built for body-camera footage and interrogation video, not adapted from a generic PDF reader. No download, no copy to local disk, full audit trail of who opened what when.
By the numbers
variance in disclosure size within a single working BC practice. The workflow is identical at every size.

The data this was designed against
Particulars was engineered against five years of one BC Interior criminal defence lawyer's actual disclosure archive — every supplemental, every late audio file, every multi-gig body-cam package, every 173 KB transmittal letter. Not a synthetic test corpus. Real Crown deliveries, in the form Crown actually delivers them.
