## Core Features
- [Unified Search Dashboard](https://vaclaims.net/#/): Ask one question, search every major VA authority at once. Run one query across BVA decisions, 38 CFR, M21-1, and diagnostic codes, then get an AI-grounded research summary with linked sources.
- [BVA Decision Search](https://vaclaims.net/#/bva-decisions): Find the BVA decisions that actually support your argument. Search 372,000+ Board of Veterans Appeals decisions by keyword, view full case text, and get AI-generated case breakdowns with key issues, strategy, and similar case leads.
- [CAVC Docket Tracker](https://vaclaims.net/#/cavc-tracker): Track live CAVC appeals and analyze briefs, docket activity, and decisions in one place. Monitor appeals, follow cases for updates, review key filings with importance scoring, and generate AI summaries across docket entries and court documents including side-by-side comparison of appellant vs. secretary arguments.
- [38 CFR Reference](https://vaclaims.net/#/cfr-view): Search 38 CFR faster, with readable rating tables and claim-focused context.
