My firm needs a streamlined digital repository built specifically for our legal documents. The solution must run as a desktop application—online access or mobile add-ons can wait until after the core build is complete.

Key requirements
• Robust full-text search so any brief, motion, or exhibit is retrievable in seconds, even from scanned PDFs.
• Granular user-permission layers that let me decide, per folder or file, who may view, edit, or delete. Think partner-level access, associate-level editing, and read-only for interns.
• End-to-end data encryption, both at rest and in transit, to satisfy our confidentiality obligations and any future audits.
• Intuitive drag-and-drop importing plus a clear folder/tag structure so staff can transition from paper files with minimal training.
• Automatic versioning and an audit trail capturing who changed what and when.

Acceptance criteria
1. Installer runs on Windows 10/11 and adds no third-party bloat.
2. Search returns accurate results in under two seconds for a sample set of 10,000 PDFs.
3. Encryption keys are user-managed; no hard-coding.
4. Permission matrix is configurable through a simple admin UI—no editing of XML or ini files.
5. Full source code and setup documentation are provided at delivery.

If you can integrate OCR or connect to our existing scanner, mention it; otherwise, focus on the core deliverables above.
