Massachusetts

Public records software that already knows Massachusetts's law.

Brandeis ships with a statute profile for the Massachusetts Public Records Law — the response clock, extension rules, exemption citations, and appeal language your AI agents and your staff work from on day one. The law is configuration, not a professional-services project.

10
business days to respond
Computed from receipt — weekends, holidays, and day type handled by the deadline math, not a spreadsheet.
+25
business days of extension
Notice required — the drafting agent writes it with the permitted reason cited.
4
seeded exemption citations
The exemption agent flags passages with Massachusetts's own sections.
1
nightly deadline sweep
An agent watches every open request's clock, every night.
Exemptions, cited not vibed

The agents quote Massachusetts, chapter and verse.

When an AI agent flags a passage for exemption, the flag carries the citation — and a named staffer confirms or dismisses every one. The starter profile seeds the most-cited sections:

G.L. c. 4, § 7, cl. 26(a)

Specifically exempted by statute

G.L. c. 4, § 7, cl. 26(c)

Personal privacy

G.L. c. 4, § 7, cl. 26(d)

Deliberative / policy development

G.L. c. 4, § 7, cl. 26(f)

Investigatory materials

If a denial is appealed: Petition the Supervisor of Records within 90 days (950 CMR 32.08); judicial review in superior court. (90-day appeal window — on the clock too.) The appeal-packet agent assembles counsel's dossier straight from the audit log.

Reviewed, then live

Starter profile, finished with your counsel.

Public-records statutes are nuanced. The Massachusetts profile ships as a reviewed starting point — day counts, sections, and appeal language your counsel confirms and tunes per agency before go-live. It is configuration to verify, never legal advice.
