Early Case Assessment

Know your case in days, not months.

Before you commit to a strategy, a budget, or a settlement number — you need to know what's actually in the data. DecoverAI cuts the haystack in hours so your team can find the story, the witnesses, and the risk on day one.

"We scoped a multi-million dollar matter in three days. The partner had a defensible budget and a theory of the case before our first status conference."

How it works

Three ways DecoverAI accelerates early case assessment.

Most ECA tools force you to choose between speed and rigor. DecoverAI gives you both — a defensible cull, a complete chronology, and surgical metadata filtering, all from a single workspace.

01
Data Culling
Cull data with keywords and prompts.

Combine traditional Boolean search with natural-language prompts to slash collection volume before a single document hits review. Run "all emails between Jane Doe and outside counsel referencing the Q3 forecast" and watch a 100K document set collapse to a few hundred relevant hits — in seconds.

  • Boolean & proximity searchField-level operators, wildcards, and stemming across the full corpus.
  • Natural-language promptsDescribe what you're looking for in plain English. No query syntax required.
  • Defensible cull reportsEvery search saved, versioned, and exportable for meet-and-confer.
  • Iterative refinementTighten or expand a search and see the new hit count instantly.
02
Chronology
Build a case chronology automatically.

DecoverAI extracts every date, event, custodian, and fact from your corpus and assembles a fully-cited timeline. Within hours of ingestion, you have a working chronology that shows what happened, when, and who knew — with every fact linked back to its source document.

  • Auto-extracted eventsDates, parties, decisions, and communications surfaced without manual coding.
  • Source citationsEvery entry links to the underlying document and Bates range.
  • Custodian & entity viewsFilter the timeline by player, topic, or document type.
  • ExportableDrop the chronology straight into a memo, complaint, or expert report.
03
Metadata Filtering
Filter through metadata with surgical precision.

Slice the corpus by custodian, date range, file type, sender, recipient, domain, attachment status, or any other metadata field. Identify the noisy custodians, isolate the privileged channels, and zero in on the relevant date window before review begins — no IT ticket required.

  • Custodian & date filtersScope the matter to the right people and the right time period in two clicks.
  • File type & formatSurface or exclude spreadsheets, PDFs, images, chat logs, and structured data.
  • Sender / recipient / domainFind every email between two parties — or every external communication from a key custodian.
  • Family & thread awarenessFilters preserve email families and thread integrity for defensibility.
From Load to Findings

A complete ECA in four steps.

Step 01
Ingest

Drag and drop a PST, a custodian collection, or a full forensic image. DecoverAI deduplicates, OCRs, and extracts metadata automatically.

Step 02
Cull

Apply keywords, prompts, and metadata filters to compress the corpus by 80–95% before any human reads a document.

Step 03
Chronology

Generate the case timeline, surface key custodians, and identify the central documents driving the dispute.

Step 04
Decide

Walk into the next status conference with a defensible budget, a theory of the case, and a prioritized review plan.

Pricing
