Where the work stalled
Hundreds of documents had to be read to build a chronology by hand.
What we built
- Agreed the key people, issues and search terms with the lawyer.
- Extracted text from the document set, including scanned documents.
- Built a Date, Event and Source table with a page reference for each entry.
- Separated uncertain and undated entries for review.
Where people stay responsible
A lawyer verifies every entry before it is relied on.
- A lawyer verifies every entry before it is relied on.
Limitations
- Poor scans and ambiguous dates need a person to confirm them.
Measuring it
Compare preparation time and missed entries with a lawyer-built sample.
No outcome figures are published because a measured baseline and comparison period are not being claimed for this example.
