AI for document triage in professional services

Can AI do our first-pass reading?

The challenge

Fee earners spend mornings reading correspondence and source documents before advisory work begins. Capacity, not demand, caps growth.

Prerequisites

  • A searchable precedent library
  • Confidentiality position agreed with your insurer

The approach

  • Summarise and classify inbound documents with citations back to the source page
  • Retrieve against firm precedent and past matters rather than public text
  • Keep the professional review step explicit and recorded for liability purposes
  • Retire the manual first read only after six weeks of parallel running

What makes it work

Every summary is citation-linked, so the reviewer verifies rather than trusts.

What we would measure

Billable recovery

Hours returned to advisory work

Turnaround

Days from receipt to client response

Review time

Minutes per document at accepted quality

Risk position — Limited risk. Confidentiality and professional liability controls documented.

Baselines are established in your business during the assessment. We publish no borrowed benchmark numbers.
