Legal Discovery, Early Case Assessment, Content Analytics and Review

alternative

Data discovery is the process of finding relevant details and insights from the data collected from various sources. These insights help in making better data driven business decisions.

Legal discovery refers to information discovery for legal use cases like litigation support, early case assessment, ediscovery and regulatory compliance. Legal domain is documents heavy and in today's world an army of legal professionals are deployed to find, review, tag and produce large number of documents.

Enterprises of all sizes produce and consume varying quantities of data. Some of this data are structured, some are semi-structured and most are unstructured in nature. Each type of data requires specific handling and treatment. Structured data is usually well understood by the business users and most of the tools in an enterprise are built around the structured data. On the other hand unstructured data is usually massive and not utilized to its complete potential because of the lack of sophisticated tools to process and generate insights.

More than 80% of data in an enterprise is unstructured in nature. Emails, call center notes, survey responses, legal contracts, corporate documents, purchase orders, maintenance logs, support tickets etc. fall in this category. Understanding the knowledge locked away in unstructured data and using it alongside data points from structured data sources can immensely boost informed decision making.

Taking Advantage Of Unstructured Data

Being the most widely used data form, unstructured data is the source of abundant insights for every department inside a business. Along with new opportunities it can pose significant risks to business if not understood well and on time. The insights from unstructured data can not only help businesses to manage risks, it can keep you ahead of competition also.

In many of the discovery use cases, the users will have some background on the data that is being processed and they will have some basic idea on what to look for. Katalyst takes a different approach here by treating every data corpus as ‘unfamiliar data’ to start with. Katalyst uses advanced NLP and AI to extract the key concepts and meaning of the data and uses that information to provide a guided discovery experience. This makes discovery super fast, precise and ultimately cost effective.

    Data Discovery

    Guided discovery makes search suggestions/recommendations based on the content of data corpus. The idea is to automate the searching process ( which is mostly manual today ) and adjust the suggestions/recommendations based on user activity. Guided discovery relies on AI techniques to generate the keywords ,top phrases and other facts that are there in the document corpus.
