Precedent research and matter assessment, anchored to the decided cases.
Wazo answers questions about Kenyan judgments and weighs a live matter against precedent — returning a reasoned, citation-backed assessment. Never a verdict.
Access is restricted to authorised users. Anchored to the Constitution of Kenya 2010 and the binding hierarchy of the courts.
On the facts, a claim filed 3 years and 2 months after dismissal is most likely time-barred under s.90 of the Employment Act; the limitation runs from the effective date of termination.
Ask. Retrieve. Assess.
Wazo does not state law from memory. Case text is fetched at question time and placed in front of the model, so every assertion traces to a document you can open.
Pose the question
Ask a research question, or lodge the parameters of a live matter — dates, forum, facts in issue.
Retrieve the authority
Relevant judgments are pulled from the corpus and ranked by binding force — the hierarchy is computed, never guessed.
Return an assessment
A reasoned position with likelihood, exposure and pinpoint citations — or an honest abstention where authority is thin.
Nine practice areas. Kenya only.
Research and assessment across the areas where precedent decides outcomes — plus all Supreme Court and Court of Appeal authority.
Built to be trusted with a liability decision.
These are not preferences. They are the difference between a tool a serious practitioner can rely on and one that invites reliance it cannot carry.
Grounded by retrieval, not fine-tuning
Every proposition traces to a retrieved paragraph. A model that states law from its weights cannot be audited, and cannot be corrected when a case is overruled.
Binding hierarchy respected
A persuasive authority is never ranked above a binding one, and an overruled case is never cited unflagged. Ranking follows the Constitution, not a similarity score.
Abstention is a feature
Where authority is thin, Wazo says so. Suppressing that notice — a hidden “not enough authority” reading as a confident answer — is the most dangerous thing it could do.
An assessment, not a verdict
A verdict is a judicial act; only a court delivers one. Wazo returns what a senior colleague gives you across a desk — likelihood, exposure and reasoning.
