About PlumGen

PhDs and legal experts,
building eDiscovery you can defend.

PlumGen is a small team of machine-learning researchers, practicing counsel, and product engineers. We build ORCA because the eDiscovery stack we want to use doesn't exist yet — defensible, in-house, statistically certified.

Why we exist

Defensible AI shouldn't require taking a vendor's word for it.

The eDiscovery industry has been promising "defensible AI" for fifteen years. What's shipped is a black box, a vendor invoice, and a hope that opposing counsel won't push too hard.
We started PlumGen because we believe the loop that actually works — classify, certify, audit — can be built as a primitive, not a sales pitch. Statistical guarantees on recall. Cryptographic provenance on every decision. Deployment inside the customer's perimeter, not ours.
ORCA is what that looks like.

Why ORCA

The name is the strategy.

ORCA stands for

Orthogonal Reasoning

Orcas hunt in pods. They are the only predators in their ecosystem with no natural threat. They coordinate, share information, and adapt their strategy to the prey.

They are, in the most literal sense of the word, intelligent.

That's the metaphor we want for eDiscovery: a coordinated, intelligent, defensible system that finds what matters and ignores what doesn't. Not a single LLM throwing darts. Not a vendor's black box. A pod.
