Westlaw alternative economics
CiteCanon is not trying to recreate every enterprise research asset on day one. The launch product focuses on repeatable solo workflows that need speed and care: source-linked Q&A, case lookup, citation checks, drafting structure, and audit records before paid proprietary research is justified.

Migration FAQ
A cheaper Westlaw alternative is useful for repeatable public-source work: first-pass research questions, citation cleanup, hallucination checks, drafting structure, and audit trails. It should not be treated as a full replacement for proprietary citators, treatises, or firm-required research systems.
Use Westlaw when the matter depends on KeyCite, attorney-editorial content, proprietary annotations, Practical Law material, or a client or firm standard that requires that platform. CiteCanon is built for source-first workflow coverage, not for replacing every proprietary research asset.
Separate four cost dimensions: subscription scope, AI or drafting add-ons, out-of-plan document charges, and the review time required to reopen every authority. A lower subscription price is not enough if verification time increases.
