E-discovery that paralegals keep using after month three
May 8, 2026 · 5 min read
Adoption dies in the workflow, not the review tool. What we change so review survives contact with a real deadline.
The tool is the easy part
Any team can ship a working review tool in a sprint. What kills e-discovery programs is everything around it: the intake that was not finished, the matter the paralegal has to open in another tab, the deadline nobody was warned about.
Design for the ten minutes before the review
We move intake, conflict checks, privilege tags and production setup into the deadline sequence so the review starts on time with a complete matter.
- 72h / 24h / morning-of reminder cadence with an escalating call to action
- Load-file and privilege-check inside the reminder, not at the door
- Review answers written straight to the matter the paralegal already has open
