A private room for working an idea until it holds. Load the whole file, not a hundred-page slice of it. Argue with it. Keep what survives.
Not a summary generator. A colleague who has read everything you loaded and is willing to tell you the part you did not want to hear.
You upload the file. It takes a hundred pages of it. You get somewhere real, and then the window fills up and you start again, re-explaining the case to something that has already forgotten it. The thinking never compounds.
A 1,200 page deposition does not fit through a hundred-page door. Brain Storm reads all of it, scans included, and cites the page back to you.
Boards keep the files. Threads keep the arguments. Change subject without losing the thread you were pulling.
Assistants flatter. Brain Storm is built to disagree early, name the strongest version of the other side, and say when an idea has a hole in it.
Snappy back-and-forth on one model, the hardest thinking on another. Switch mid-conversation. First word lands in about a second and a half.
One click for the moves a good sounding board makes: what am I missing, devil's advocate, steelman, pressure test, what would kill this.
Say “add a section on liquidated damages” and it edits that passage in place. A hundred-page document changes as fast as a one-page one.
Plain document, double-spaced brief, or pleading paper with numbered lines. Drop a Word file in and it comes back editable.
Pin the line that mattered, or just the sentence. Copy the whole set out when the session is done and nothing good gets lost.

Password and idle lock on the front. Nothing is deleted, ever — it goes to trash.
One per matter, project, or idea you keep coming back to. Drag the files in. Scanned exhibits get read too.
One line about what you are chewing on. It rides along on every message so you stop repeating yourself.
Talk, push, use a lens when you get stuck. Pin what survives. Turn the good parts into a document when you are ready.
Measured on the machine it was built for, not on a slide.
