Frequently asked questions
- How many pages per hour can a reviewer process?
- Speeds vary widely. A basic relevance review may achieve 60–100 pages per hour; a detailed privilege and issue-code review may be as slow as 15–30 pages per hour. Technology-Assisted Review (TAR) can increase throughput substantially.
- What is e-discovery?
- E-discovery (electronic discovery) is the process of identifying, collecting, and reviewing electronically stored information (ESI) for litigation. It often involves enormous document volumes measured in gigabytes or terabytes.
- Can I reduce review costs?
- Yes. Culling documents using search terms, date filters, and deduplication before review can dramatically reduce the review population. TAR/predictive coding tools further reduce manual review volume.
