From a five-day Early Case Assessment to soup-to-nuts managed discovery — every engagement is fixed-fee, statistically validated, and defensible. Pick the door that matches the matter.
$5,000 – $15,000 flat fee · 5-day turnaround
Within five business days of an engagement letter, we ingest your document corpus, run AI-powered topic clustering and key-issue identification, surface candidate hot documents, and deliver a written ECA report covering volume estimates, custodian and date-range analysis, privilege risk assessment, and a recommended review protocol.

No. We use frontier-grade language models to read documents the way an associate would — understanding context, identifying themes, recognizing legal significance. Keywords miss everything that doesn't contain the keyword. Our models don't.
Yes. Every coding decision is logged with model version, prompt, timestamp, and reviewer. We provide statistical validation samples with confidence intervals on recall and precision. The methodology is defensible at meet-and-confer.
Most clients do. We credit the full ECA fee against a subsequent AI-Assisted First-Pass Review or Full Managed Discovery engagement on the same matter.
$0.05 – $0.15 per document · typically 5–10 days
Full-corpus relevance and privilege coding. Our pipeline reads every document in the corpus, applies coding decisions against your specific responsiveness and privilege criteria, and produces a statistically validated coded data set ready for production or for your review platform.
Compared to contract attorney linear review at $1.50–$3.00 per document over six weeks, our pipeline delivers the same coded output in days for a fraction of the cost — with documented methodology that holds up under challenge.

Frontier-model AI coding typically achieves 92–97% recall and 88–94% precision — comparable to or better than human contract attorney consistency, which independent studies have shown to vary widely. Every engagement includes statistical validation against your matter-specific requirements.
Traditional TAR uses statistical classifiers trained on attorney-coded seed sets. Our approach uses frontier language models that understand documents in context, no seed-set training required. TAR works for relevance; our approach handles relevance, privilege, work-product, and nuanced issue coding in the same pass.
The defensibility framework established in Da Silva Moore v. Publicis Groupe (S.D.N.Y. 2012) and Rio Tinto PLC v. Vale S.A. (S.D.N.Y. 2015) supports AI-assisted review with documented methodology and statistical validation. We operate squarely within that framework and provide meet-and-confer disclosure packages with every engagement.
$25,000 – $250,000 per matter · fixed fee
We handle the entire discovery workflow from collection through production. You give us the matter scope and the custodians; we give you back a Bates-stamped production, a privilege log, and a single invoice. One throat to choke. Predictable from the day you sign the engagement letter.

Full Managed Discovery is always fixed-fee, scoped at the intake call based on estimated document volume, number of custodians and data sources, complexity of issue coding, production format requirements, and timeline urgency.
| Matter profile | Fee range |
|---|---|
| Small commercial matter (under 100K docs, 2–5 custodians) | $25,000 – $50,000 |
| Mid-size matter (100K–500K docs, 5–15 custodians) | $50,000 – $125,000 |
| Complex matter (500K–2M docs, 15+ custodians) | $125,000 – $250,000 |
| Mega-matter (over 2M docs) | Custom-scoped |
We re-baseline at agreed volume thresholds disclosed in the engagement letter. No surprise invoices.
Yes. We export coded data in standard load file formats (Relativity, Concordance, Reveal, Everlaw, DISCO). If you want us to handle the production layer end-to-end, we can do that too.
Engagement letter to first document ingested: 48 hours. For urgent matters with active deadlines, we prioritize the call within four business hours of the request.
Talk to us. A 30-minute intake call almost always clarifies the right entry point — sometimes it's an ECA, sometimes the matter is ready for first-pass review, sometimes it's a full managed engagement. We'll tell you what the matter actually needs, not just what we'd most like to sell you.
