If You Bill by the Hour, Saving Time Costs You Money.
Every supplier selling automation to law firms avoids this sentence, and every partner works it out in the first ten minutes. If the work is chargeable and you do it in half the time, you have just halved the invoice. That does not make automation pointless here — it makes it narrow. There are three places where the arithmetic genuinely works, and an honest supplier should be able to name them before asking you for anything.

Not the chargeable work. These three.
Take an hour out of chargeable work and the saving belongs to your client. Take an hour out of these and it belongs to you.
- Non-chargeable adminNobody was ever paying for it
- Fixed-fee and capped mattersWhere speed is margin, directly
- Time you write off anywayRecorded, then quietly reduced
- Work that never got billed at allThe overrun nobody put on the bill
- Matter opening and file setupBefore anything chargeable starts
- Enquiries that arrive out of hoursRevenue, not cost, if answered
The last row is the one worth arguing about, because it is the only one that adds revenue rather than protecting margin. An enquiry that arrives at eight on a Friday and gets a considered acknowledgement before Monday is a matter you may otherwise never have heard about again. That build has nothing to do with efficiency and it is usually the one we would do first.
We do not read contracts. We assemble and organise.
A great deal of what is marketed to firms right now is contract review and due diligence — a model reading documents and telling you what they mean. We do not sell that, and the reason is not modesty. We are not lawyers, so we cannot evaluate whether the thing read the clause correctly, and a supplier who cannot check their own output has no business putting it near your matters.
What we can build is everything structural around the documents. Assembling a first draft from your own precedent bank, so nobody starts at a blank page. Indexing and bundling so a file is navigable. Extracting dates and parties into a matter record. Flagging that a document referenced in a schedule is not in the folder. None of that is an opinion about meaning; all of it is work somebody currently does by hand at an hour nobody enjoys.
On confidentiality and privilege the position is short, because our main AI automation page sets it out properly and repeating it here would help nobody: it is a data decision made deliberately and made first, and for some firms it ends with a model running on infrastructure you control. What we will not do is treat that as a box to tick after the demo.
And drafts stay drafts. Anything this produces is a starting point that a qualified person reads, edits and signs. The claim is that nobody starts from nothing — smaller than the market makes it, and one we can actually stand behind.
- ✓No legal analysis, ever — It needs a qualified lawyer, so we will not sell it.
- ✓Assembly and organisation, yes — Bundles, indexes, first drafts from your precedents.
- ✓Out-of-hours capture adds revenue — The only build here that grows the top line.
- ✓Data decision first — Made deliberately, not after the demo.
- ✓Nothing here is conduct advice — We name no regulator and cite no rule.

What we build for a firm
Six builds, and the first one is the only one that adds revenue rather than protecting margin.
Out-of-Hours Enquiry Capture
A considered acknowledgement, the right questions asked, and the matter in front of somebody on Monday morning. The only build on this list that adds revenue rather than protecting margin.
Drafts From Your Own Precedents
Assembled from the bank your firm has already built and approved, so the starting point is yours rather than a model’s idea of one. It stays a draft and a qualified person writes the version that goes out.
Bundling and Indexing
A file somebody can navigate — paginated, indexed, cross-referenced, with a flag when a document named in a schedule is not actually in the folder. Structural work, no opinion about meaning.
Matter Opening Without the Afternoon
Parties, dates and references pulled into the matter record from what the client already sent, so the file exists before anybody spends chargeable time creating it.
Fixed-Fee Work, Made Faster
Where the fee is agreed, speed is margin and the arithmetic is finally on your side. This is where most firms find the largest genuine return, and it is worth mapping which of your work qualifies.
Client Status Updates
“Where has my matter got to” answered from what is genuinely true, without interrupting the fee earner. Reduces the calls that generate no fee and irritate everybody.
What clients say
Real clients, quoted in their own words — published with their permission.

— Our Proprietary Methodology —
The Visibility Framework™, applied in Law Firms
The method doesn’t change by market. What it’s pointed at does.
Audit The Hours
Where time actually goes, task by task, scored on volume, repetition and the cost of getting it wrong. Ends in a ranked blueprint with estimated hours saved — yours to keep either way.
Design The Guardrails
Before any building: what the agent may touch, where a human must approve, what happens when it is unsure, and which data is never allowed near a third-party model.
Build & Evaluate
One workflow at a time, in your accounts, scored against real examples from your business before it touches live work. Shipped early so it meets reality while it is still cheap to change.
Run & Improve
Monitored for cost, failures and quality drift. Models change, your business changes, and an automation nobody tends becomes a liability rather than an asset.
Honest, No-Nonsense Commitment
If the audit concludes that a task is not worth automating, we will tell you and refund the difference rather than build it anyway. And if a workflow we built does not hit the outcome we agreed in the blueprint, we keep working on it at no extra cost until it does or we take it out.

What you’re actually committing to
Most agencies keep this in a contract you only see after the sales call. We would rather you knew now, because it is the question everyone asks second — right after the price.
- The audit is credited, not sunkPay for the audit, and the full amount comes off the build if you proceed. If you don’t, the blueprint is still yours to hand to anyone else.
- A fixed build price after the auditQuoted once we know what we are building. If it takes longer than we estimated, that is our risk — the price only moves if you change the scope.
- You own everythingAccounts, API keys, workflows, prompts, evaluation sets, logs and documentation — all in your name from day one, and still yours if we never work together again.
- Running costs are yours and visibleAPI usage is billed by the provider directly to you. We never resell tokens or mark up usage, and you see the real number.
- The retainer is month to month30 days’ notice, no exit fee. Stop it and your automations keep running — you are simply maintaining them yourself.
- Human approval is the defaultAnything customer-facing or irreversible needs a person until the evaluation data justifies otherwise, and that decision is yours to make, not ours.
These are the terms as they appear in the agreement itself — nothing here is softened for the website. The full wording lives in our terms and conditions, and you get the agreement to read before anything is signed or invoiced.
