Whole matter · Not one document
Hand it the entire matter, not one document.
Most legal AI answers questions about a document you have already found. The harder job is reading everything and telling you what matters.
What comes back from a full workup
The document a senior associate would produce given a week and no interruptions.
The chronology
Events assembled from the documents themselves, in order, each traceable to the page it came from.
Parties and relationships
Who is who across the whole file, including the entities that appear once in an exhibit and matter enormously.
Risk and exposure
The findings that change the value of the matter, with the clause or passage attached to each.
Open questions
What the record does not answer — stated plainly, so the gaps surface before a deposition rather than after.
The work product
A workup a partner can read, exported on firm letterhead, with every assertion carrying its source.
A validation pass
The Adjudicator re-reads the output against the record before it is presented, and disagrees where it should.
What stays true on every matter
These do not change by practice area, firm size, or the question asked.
Give it a closed matter.
You already know what was in that file and what it was worth. That makes it the only fair test of a full workup.

The answers below are specific to this page’s subject.
How long does a full matter take?
Timing quoted on this site refers to a typical mid-sized matter on the recommended workstation. Larger files take proportionally longer — it is reading everything, and that is the point.
Does someone have to organise the folder first?
No. Classification and triage happen on ingest; that is part of the work rather than a prerequisite for it.
What if documents will not extract?
It reports them. A file that read 80% complete because two exhibits failed to extract is a materially different result from one that read everything, and the caveat travels with the percentage.
Can we re-run it as the file grows?
Yes, and only what changed is re-read. New documents update the workup rather than requiring a fresh start.
