Product strategy
Deadline management that actually prevents a missed filing
April 9, 2026 · 5 min read
A missed statute of limitations is a malpractice claim, not an inconvenience. The product decisions that make deadlines unmissable.
A calendar is not a deadline system
Most firms run deadlines out of a shared calendar that nobody owns. A deadline system is different: every limitation date, every filing window and every reminder is tied to a matter, an owner and an audit row.
What we build
A handful of decisions carry the whole thing.
- Statute-of-limitations alerts on every open matter, not just flagged ones
- Reminders at 72 hours, 24 hours and morning-of, escalating to a named owner
- A missed-reminder escalation path that reaches a partner, not a queue
- Full audit trail on every deadline change and acknowledgement
