Boutique · Outgunned on headcount
Outgunned on headcount, not on the record.
Boutiques win on judgment and lose on volume. The volume problem is the one that can be solved with a machine.
Where the asymmetry actually is
Not in the argument. In who has read all of it.
Read the whole production
The other side has more associates. It does not have more hours in the day than a machine that reads everything.
Find the document that decides it
The exhibit that contradicts a witness is in the file. Finding it is a completeness problem.
Match on drafting throughput
Drafts on firm precedent, cited to the record, so quality does not fall when volume rises.
Fixed cost, unlimited use
Nothing per matter or per document, so a big case does not carry a bigger software bill.
What stays true on every matter
These do not change by practice area, firm size, or the question asked.
Take a matter where you were outnumbered.
See whether it surfaces what the other side's team had the hours to find and you did not.

The answers below are specific to this page’s subject.
Can a boutique justify the hardware?
It is one workstation against the associate hours a single document-heavy matter consumes. On one substantial case the arithmetic usually settles itself.
Is it too complex for a small team?
The work is pointing it at the matter folder and reviewing the output. The complexity is inside the machine, not in the workflow.
Does it help with contingency work?
Fixed cost with unlimited use is particularly well suited to contingency, where per-matter fees come directly out of the recovery.
What if we lose the machine?
It is a workstation and your backup policy applies, as with any other firm hardware.
