“Provider solutions typically demand compromises that many firms are increasingly unwilling to make, and so a growing number are building their own, bespoke AI solutions.”

“AI transformation doesn’t start with the AI, but with the work itself. Mapping workflows, identifying the context, content, and data that work depends on, and how it should be structured and governed. That work must lead AI initiatives.”

“We’ve confused adding AI with adding value to the work of lawyers. Every new tool is another entry point, another interface, and another set of results to trust. That’s complexity, not innovation.”
Igor Labutov, Chief AI Officer
Featured in Artificial Lawyer.

“To objectively measure the impact of AI tools on data and against an outcome, it has to be compared with current results and human outputs.”
Jon Lavinder, Senior Director, Product Management

“It’s not that the platforms are dead, it’s that the need to click buttons, look at menus, figure out how to do something, is much less needed today because you can just ask your AI assistant.”
Tiana Van Dyk, Managing Director, Canada
Featured in eDiscovery Today.

“Validation principles developed through technology-assisted review provide a quantitative framework for responsible AI adoption, with qualitative validation adding essential context for generative AI use cases.”
