How this desk works
Ask, Review, and Deep Review stay on this file. Credits pay landed work. FIA Plan is the house seat — an alternative to Operator, Counsel, or Chambers.
Ask, Review, Deep Review
Ask is a bounded question. Review reads the file. Deep Review is the same engine on a longer pass. Numbers not in the file stay gaps.
Audio file
Attach an audio file (mp3, m4a, wav, webm, ogg, flac, or aac — 15 MB or smaller) through Attach. The desk transcribes it and sends the transcript with Ask, labelled with the file name. Dictate is coming soon.
Talk
Talk is spoken conversation on this desk — not a written review. Sign in, then press Talk beside Dictate. The transcript can Copy, Clear, or Continue in Ask. Every minute is charged at cost × 1.40. A five-minute hold is 56 credits. Talk that never opens is not charged. Talk is inert on this instance until the Talk service is configured.
Seats and credits
Operator, Counsel, and Chambers remain the deep single-desk allotments. FIA Plan is the house seat for the suite. Credits pay for work that lands. Included credits reset with the billing month. Packs do not expire.
Federation
FIA Labs ships separate professional desks — LIA, MIA, CFO Sentinel, Aquinian Studio, Brandium, ExecMind, Cine-Novelist. Each desk is its own practice. Matters, conversations, files, and drafts stay on the desk that created them. There is no shared workspace and no silent sync.
Federation is the layer that lets one practitioner use those desks as a house, not as seven disconnected logins that cannot speak.
Federation is a room of desks in the domains a matter needs — law, medicine, finance, strategy, brand, theology and ethics, and narrative — without merging their files. You walk to the desk that owns the question. You send an FIA Brief when you want that desk’s view on a packet you authorise. You do not dump the whole matter on the table.
What it is for
Work often needs more than one discipline before you green-light it. A Brandium campaign may need LIA on claims and CFO on cost. An ExecMind decision may need LIA on exposure. Federation is how you send a defined packet to another desk and get a defined reply back, without pouring the whole matter file across the house.
What is shared
- FIA Plan — the house seat for the suite. It turns Federation on for this account.
- FIA credit packs — extra fuel that works across the suite and does not expire.
- FIA Briefs — only what you explicitly authorise to send.
What is never shared
Conversations, uploads, exhibits, transcripts, and the matter file. Opening another desk is navigation, not a data merge.
FIA Brief
An FIA Brief is not a client brief, a Crown brief, or a counsel brief. It is a short authorised export you compose: the question, the conclusion you are willing to show, the caution. The receiving desk comments on that packet. The sending desk can read the reply. Governance is the record of FIA Briefs sent and returned — not a copy of either desk’s chat.
How you can tell it is on
- FEDERATION INACTIVE (grey, under the desk mark): this account has no FIA Plan seat. You can still use this desk. Send FIA Brief and FIA Brief inbox stay locked. Operator, Counsel, and Chambers do not include Federation.
- FEDERATION ACTIVATED (green, under the desk mark): this account has an active FIA Plan. You may send an FIA Brief to another shipped desk and receive FIA Briefs those desks send back.
Credits and Plan
On CFO Sentinel, Operator, Counsel, and Chambers remain the deep single-desk allotments. FIA Plan is the house seat for the suite: 1,000 credits each billing period, usable on any shipped desk, and Federation included. Extra credit packs work across the suite and do not expire. You pay for what you consume after the included allotment. FIA Plan is an alternative to a single-desk seat, not an extra charge on top of Operator, Counsel, or Chambers. Packs do not turn Federation on.
