See exactly what Lantern does
A complete accreditation workspace — from researching your office to walking an inspector through the finished manual.
AI office research
Tell us your county. We look up the rest.
Type your office name, county, and state. Lantern's grounded research finds your chief, mailing address, phone & email, office hours, morgue setup, staffing breakdown, annual case volume, and even your county seal — usually 13–17 fields, every one from a public source you can audit. You review what we found and edit anything that's off before the manual drafts a single section.
- Chief, address, contact, hours, population served
- Facility & morgue setup (separate facility, capacity, autopsies in-house?)
- Staff FPs, contracted independent FPs, investigators, cases per year
- County seal downloaded automatically when public
AI manual drafting
Every section, written to YOUR office
Lantern drafts each subsection to satisfy the exact IACME standards or NAME checklist items — using the office details you verified. Morgue location, autopsy arrangement, staffing, and case volume all shape the prose, so the manual reads like it was written by someone who actually knows your office.
- Per-standard drafting for IACME & NAME
- Reflects facility, staffing, autopsy & contracted-pathologist setup
- Inline AI edits and one-click regenerate
State-statute autofill
The real law, cited automatically
For every policy point that depends on state law, Lantern looks up the actual citation for your state via grounded web search and drops it into the text with a source link — all in the background, no clicking. When a citation can't be verified in your state, it falls back to a neutral "according to state statute" so the manual never ships with raw placeholders.
- Real citations (RCW, ORS, etc.) with source URLs
- Verified per state — never fabricated
- Neutral fallback phrasing when unverifiable
Policy audit
Audit the policy you already have
Upload your current manual — PDF, Word doc, text, or even a scan — and Lantern reads it (OCR included) and grades it against every standard, with a recommendation for each gap.
- Reads PDFs, Word, images & text
- Met / partial / missing for every standard
- Actionable recommendation per gap
Readiness tracker
Always know how close you are
A live matrix of every standard and required document, auto-marked "ready" as your manual covers them — with progress by section so nothing slips before inspection day.
- Auto-marked from your generated manual
- Progress by section and overall %
- Assign owners, due dates & overrides
Branding
Your seal, on every page
Upload your office seal (or let Lantern download the county seal automatically) and the AI cleans it up and composes a polished letterhead — applied across the cover and header of your official PDF.
- Seal auto-downloaded when public, or upload your own
- AI letterhead composition & cleanup
- Brand colors & fonts for the whole manual
