ValorDB · ResilientMind AI (SDVOSB)

Veterans appeals research with numbers you can cite.

ValorDB is a searchable corpus of ~1.86 million Board of Veterans' Appeals decisions with outcome analytics and grounded AI. Every grant rate is computed from the corpus — never invented by the model.

The full appeals record, structured

Built for veterans, VA disability attorneys, claims agents, VSOs, and researchers who need defensible numbers — not a citation they have to fact-check.

1.86M Board of Veterans' Appeals decisions (1992–2025)
838K Modern AMA-era decisions (2018–2025) subset
Title 38 Statute & the M21 adjudication manual — free to read, no account
~80 GB Entire product — text, FTS index, and vectors on a single NVMe
Local Grounded AI runs on your own Ollama — your question never leaves your machine
$0 cloud No per-query inference bill — runs on a Jetson Orin appliance

Statistics from the corpus, never the model

Most AI legal-research tools let the model make up the numbers. ValorDB doesn't.

Every figure is computed directly from the published decisions and injected as a locked VERIFIED_FACTS block. Anything the model emits that isn't traceable to that block is struck after generation. Ask about sleep apnea and you get 41.7% (N=116,353) with the AMA-vs-Legacy split and co-occurrence against every tracked condition — not a hallucinated rate that changes on the next run.

Per-condition grant rates

Outcome rates for each tracked condition, computed across every published decision — with AMA vs Legacy breakdowns.

Co-occurrence analytics

See which conditions are claimed and granted together, with sample sizes attached to every number.

Full-text & semantic search

Keyword and vector search across the entire corpus to find the decisions that match your fact pattern.

Citable, reproducible

Numbers come with N values and trace back to the underlying decisions — defensible in a brief or a hearing.

Free statute & manual

Title 38 and the M21 adjudication manual are free to read — no key, no account. Analytics, AI, and the API are Firm/Enterprise.

CLI, SDK & API

pip install valordb for the sovereign CLI and Python SDK; the API powers firm-scale workflows.

Same DNA, different mission

ValorDB shares its grounded-search architecture with DeclassDB — the same builder, the same rigor, a different vertical. Where DeclassDB serves intelligence researchers over declassified federal records, ValorDB serves veterans and legal practitioners over public administrative law. Both run local-first, with statistics the model can't fabricate.
