Historically-Informed Early Document Insights

When you use Lighthouse AI across multiple matters (or your entire portfolio), your classifiers can do a precursory analysis of your dataset. Get early insights on the types of documents likely contained in the matter to support review strategy. Examples of AI insights include:

  • Number of likely privileged documents
  • Amount of likely PII
  • Overlap with other matters that have already been coded
  • Which custodians have the most privilege/confidential documents

Early Case Document Assessment

Quickly evaluate the feasibility, impact, and risk of your case. Early intelligence from linguistic analysis and powerful technology gives you the insights necessary for business-critical decisions in any legal matter. By combining cutting-edge tools with expert search strategies, we transform ECA from probable trends to a narrative with supporting documents.
