57 legislative offices, multiple caucuses, and simultaneous agendas.
Many files, limited technical time.
Advisory teams must turn long documents into usable guidance for committees, caucuses, or plenary sessions without losing legal precision.
Legislative intelligence for Costa Rica
Audit, draft, and anticipate laws, with verifiable rigor.
Sirius-Lex supports the full life of a bill: audit a file article by article, draft a new one through a staged process with human checkpoints, and anticipate its path through the Assembly. Always with sources, traceability, and human review.
On-demand consulting service, with findings and documents traceable to official sources. For legislative advisory teams, caucuses, law firms, and regulatory teams.
The bottleneck is not political. It is technical.
Legislative decisions are made under tight timelines, long files, and public scrutiny. Risk appears when the technical team does not have enough time to verify every citation, every article, and every effect on the current legal framework.
The Rules of Procedure of the Legislative Assembly require bills to be submitted in open digital format.
The file is digital. The review is still fragmented.
Having a digital text does not solve citation review, constitutional analysis, affected laws, or institutional impact.
In File 23.771, Sirius-Lex detected a constitutional citation attributed to the wrong article.
A citation error can change the analysis.
A misattributed reference weakens the bill's legal foundation and exposes the office to late corrections.
Deliverables
What the client receives
Sirius-Lex works on three fronts: auditing existing files, drafting new bills with method, and anticipating their political path. Each front is delivered as a consulting product: prioritized findings, verifiable evidence, and recommendations so the technical team can decide what to correct, propose, or defend.

01
Constitutional and legal audit
Article-by-article review of the file to identify constitutional risks, tensions with legal principles, and issues of normative coherence.
02
Legal citation verification
Review of each legal reference against current Costa Rican legislation, flagging correct, incomplete, ambiguous, or misattributed citations.
03
Impact and conflict map
Identification of laws, institutional powers, and secondary effects that may be affected, with cross-analysis of related files to detect duplication, contradictions, or gaps.
04
Traceable executive report
Exportable document with summary, findings, risk status, sources, and recommended points for human review, plus a one-page technical brief for the caucus.

A read of real affinities between legislators from public roll-call votes: cross-party alignments, internal dissidence, and tactical absences. A preliminary signal that strengthens with each vote of the term.

Verified real case
File 23.771, Artificial Intelligence Bill
File 23.771
Sirius-Lex analyzed File 23.771 as a demonstrative case of preventive legislative quality control. The analysis reviewed the bill against current Costa Rican legislation, verified legal citations, and classified findings by risk level.
Misattributed constitutional citation
The file linked Article 9 of the Constitution to access to justice. Verification found that the article regulates separation of powers, so the legal foundation required correction.
Incomplete institutional design
The creation of a specialized authority was proposed without sufficient clarity on its legal nature, governance structure, funding sources, and relationship with the Executive Branch.
Insufficient sanctions framework
The bill announced sanctions without sufficiently defining conducts, ranges, and conditions of application, creating a relevant legal risk.

Service
How the service works
Sirius-Lex is engaged per analysis or consulting assignment, and starts through one of two entry points: a file that needs auditing, or a bill that needs drafting from scratch.
Two entry points
You bring a file
We audit it article by article: verified citations, constitutional risks, and normative conflicts, with a traceable report.
You want to create a new one
We draft it with method: a staged process with checkpoints where you decide, from the initial framing to the final articles.
01
Define the starting point
The client identifies the file to review or the framing of the bill to draft, together with the main technical question and intended use.
02
Do the work
The file is audited or the bill is drafted following the corresponding method: citations, risks, and impact for audits; stages and checkpoints for drafting.
03
Deliver and discuss results
The report or the drafted bill is delivered and critical points are reviewed with the client's team to prioritize corrections, questions, or decisions.
Timeline
An initial review can be organized within 24-48 hours, depending on scope, text availability, and file complexity. Extensive or comparative analyses are scheduled by scope.
What the report includes
Executive summary, risk status, verified citations, article-level observations, regulatory impact map, detected conflicts, review recommendations, and limitations note.
Differentiation
Not a general legal AI
Sirius-Lex does not compete to answer any legal question. Its focus is the full life of a legislative file: auditing what exists, drafting what is missing, and anticipating its political path, always turned into verifiable findings.
| Comparison | What it solves | Typical limit | How Sirius-Lex is different |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOFIA / Tirant | Research, conversation, drafting, and general legal analysis. | Not focused on the parliamentary workflow of a specific file. | Sirius-Lex organizes the analysis around the file, its articles, citations, risks, and legislative impacts. |

The difference is not replacing legal judgment. It is giving the technical team a more structured, traceable, and timely review before the file moves forward. None of these alternatives drafts new bills with human checkpoints, or computes an advancement-probability score calibrated against the Costa Rican legislative record.
Audience
Built for teams that prepare legislative guidance
Sirius-Lex is designed for teams that need to read, draft, compare, explain, or challenge legislative files with speed and rigor.
01
Legislative advisors and chiefs of staff
Pain
They must summarize long files, draft or review their own proposals, and avoid technical errors before meetings, committee sessions, or plenary debate.
02
Political caucuses and technical coordinators
Pain
They need consistent guidance across multiple files and a method to originate their own bills, with a common view of risks, citations, and decision points.
03
Law firms and regulatory teams
Pain
They must explain to clients or internal teams how a bill may affect obligations, institutional powers, or sector-specific risks, or draft reform proposals with the same rigor.
04
Consulting firms and cooperation organizations
Pain
They require traceable legislative diagnostics and, often, method-drafted regulatory proposals for modernization, digital government, responsible AI, or institutional strengthening projects.
Use cases
When to use Sirius-Lex
Use Sirius-Lex when your team needs to turn a legislative file into verifiable technical guidance before a decision.
- Review a bill before its committee presentation.
- Prepare technical guidance with verifiable findings and identified sources.
- Detect constitutional risks, erroneous citations, or normative conflicts.
- Compare related legislative files to identify duplication or contradictions.
- Validate legal citations before submitting formal observations.
Sources and traceability
Verifiable sources. Human review. Clear limits.
Sirius-Lex works with current Costa Rican legislation and structures each finding so it can be reviewed against an identifiable source. The result is a technical basis for decision-making, not an official legal opinion.
Traceability by finding
Each relevant observation is linked to a rule, article, source, and explanation of why it matters for the file.
Quality gate
The analysis applies exit criteria: zero invented citations, complete traceability, and human review before the report is used as an external input.
Auditable base
Sirius-Lex relies on an auditable technology base. SiriusOS provides transparency for the engine; legislative specialization and consulting judgment are delivered as a professional service.
Sirius-Lex findings are not an official legal opinion and do not replace human legal review.
