Ask your whole discovery set one question — and trust the answer
For a criminal defense attorney — hundreds of thousands of discovery files, searched one folder at a time.
You've got a phone number from an FBI 302 and you need every place it appears across 230,000 files — texts, call logs, emails, other reports. Right now that means the review tool, one search at a time per file type, missing anything a scan never captured, and no way to be sure you actually covered everything.
One way it plays out
- The whole production gets ingested once, up front — every file, including scanned reports and photographed pages, is made searchable on the way in, so a number buried in a scanned page turns up the same as one in a native PDF. Bates numbers and original paths are preserved, so every hit points back to exactly where it sits.
- You ask across everything, and get results in seconds — type the number and get back the documents that mention it, each with the surrounding text highlighted, the Bates range, and the file path.
- You can ask in plain language, and it quotes its sources — "does anything connect this number to the warrant application?" comes back quoting the specific documents that establish the connection, citing each — and it says plainly when it found nothing else, rather than guessing.
That's one way it plays out — the formats, the fields, and the kinds of questions get shaped around your production.
So instead of hoping a folder-by-folder search caught everything, you can stand behind the answer — nothing invented, every result traceable to a specific document, and anything the files don't support flagged as unsupported.
Works for: criminal defense discovery review, Brady/Giglio tracking, complex litigation document search — any practice buried in unreviewed production.
Everything stays on servers here in Canada, and once it's built the whole thing is yours to keep — not a subscription, and not tied to anyone's platform. I'm here in Winnipeg: I set it up, and I stay with you and your team until it's running the way you want.
