The Current Approach to Document Analysis Is Not Sustainable

Data volumes continue to rise rapidly

Review workflows increasingly are not scalable to meet demand

Even with lower pricing, costs are not proportional to litigation risks

Most “predictive coding” solutions are fragmented, requiring merits counsel to fill in the gaps

concepts (e.g., pictures, Excel files, etc.)

• Each sample document selected is called an anchor

• Each document in the population gets aligned with an anchor document based on conceptual similarity
