From signed engagement letter to written ECA report on your desk — typically inside one business week.
30-minute call. Matter type, custodians, estimated volume, key issues, deadlines. We send a fixed-fee engagement letter the same day.
You drop your corpus into our encrypted SOC 2-aligned workspace. PST, MBOX, Slack exports, loose files — we handle the formats.
Our pipeline processes, deduplicates, and reviews. Frontier-grade language models trained on legal reasoning. Our review team QCs the calls.
Written report, coded data, privilege log, or full production load file — whichever your engagement specified. Defensibility docs included.
Opposing counsel will challenge AI-assisted productions. We engineer for that day from the first document in.
Every coding decision is logged with model version, prompt, timestamp, and reviewer. Methodology disclosures ready for meet-and-confer.
Every production includes a confidence-interval report on recall and precision against attorney-reviewed validation samples.
SOC 2 Type II audit in progress. Encryption at rest and in transit. Per-matter logical isolation with dedicated encryption keys. Access logs. NDA-bound personnel. Your privilege stays privileged.
For two decades, I've run service operations at Hanson Construction Services — projects where the price is fixed before the work begins, where you stand behind the outcome, and where a single missed detail can cost a client real money. That operational discipline is what most legal data review is missing.
E-discovery has been waiting for someone to bring it together: AI that's finally good enough, pricing that's finally fair, and a managed-service model that takes the staffing problem off the firm's plate. ProgressiveDiscovery.ai is that bet. If you're carrying a matter where the discovery costs don't pencil, I'd like to hear about it.
