Your eDiscovery Costs Are 5x What They Should Be. We Fix the Architecture.

We architect and implement across all major eDiscovery platforms including Relativity, Nuix, Brainspace, Reveal, and Everlaw. Platform selection depends on your firm's case volume, practice areas, hosting preferences, and budget. We evaluate each platform against your specific requirements and negotiate vendor contracts on your behalf. No commissions, no partnerships, no bias. We recommend what is best for your firm.

TAR 2.0 (Technology-Assisted Review) uses continuous active learning algorithms that train in real-time as reviewers code documents. Unlike TAR 1.0 which required seed sets and control sets, TAR 2.0 begins ranking documents from the first coding decision. This means faster ramp-up, lower costs, and defensible results. We architect the entire TAR workflow including quality control protocols, validation methodology, and comprehensive defensibility documentation.

Yes, when properly implemented and documented. Courts have consistently upheld TAR methodologies since Judge Peck's landmark decision in Da Silva Moore v. Publicis Groupe. The key is defensibility documentation, transparent methodology, and proper validation protocols. We build comprehensive defensibility packages that include processing parameters, search validation, statistical sampling results, and quality control documentation. Zero challenged productions across every engagement.

Most firms see measurable cost reductions within the first matter after architecture optimization. The 30-day Rapid Assessment Sprint identifies immediate savings opportunities, typically delivering 40-72% cost reduction on active matters. Long-term architecture improvements compound these savings across every future matter your firm handles. The ROI typically exceeds the engagement cost within the first quarter.

Absolutely. Vendor lock-in is one of the most expensive problems in legal technology. We audit your current vendor contracts, identify where you are overpaying, architect an in-house or hybrid solution that gives you control, and manage the transition without disrupting active matters. Most firms save 50-70% by moving from fully managed to a strategically architected hybrid model. The key is having CTO-level expertise to design the transition and negotiate from a position of knowledge.

Yes, and urgency is exactly when a fractional CTO adds the most value. We have architected emergency review workflows that process 500,000+ documents in under 72 hours using TAR 2.0 continuous active learning. Your review team focuses only on the 3-5% of documents that actually matter. We also build defensibility packages documenting every algorithmic decision, so when opposing counsel challenges your production methodology at the meet-and-confer, you have the technical documentation to defend it. Reference: Judge Andrew Peck's Da Silva Moore framework for TAR defensibility.

Per-document pricing incentivizes vendors to maximize review volume, not minimize it. We restructure your eDiscovery economics: first, TAR 2.0 eliminates 60-80% of documents from human review entirely. Second, we negotiate platform-based pricing with Relativity or Nuix that scales with data volume, not reviewer hours. Third, we train your paralegals on first-pass review using AI-assisted workflows. One AmLaw 200 litigation boutique reduced eDiscovery spend from $1.2M to $340K annually using this model. Your vendor will not suggest this because it cuts their revenue.

Privilege protection is non-negotiable. We configure AI-assisted privilege detection that flags attorney-client communications, work product, and joint defense materials using NLP pattern matching trained on your firm's specific communication patterns. Critical: we build in a human-in-the-loop checkpoint before any flagged document leaves the review platform. We also prepare a privilege log automation workflow that generates entries in real-time during review, eliminating the scramble before the production deadline. For clawback protection, we draft Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) orders as part of every engagement.
