AI Readiness · Legal
AI readiness for law firms — without the vendor hype.
A 5-minute assessment mapped to the 15 modules that actually matter for a modern practice. See where AI pays off first, and what has to be in place before it can.
What the assessment covers
Two layers, one taxonomy. ~5 minutes, a couple dozen questions.
Opportunities
Where AI actually earns hours back for your practice — mapped to real modules, not vendor categories.
Readiness
The five foundations: data, systems, governance, process, and team. Sum → 3 bands.
What we skip
Modules that don't apply to your work. Trust signal: we'd rather be narrow and right.
Signature modules
Where legal AI pays off first
Two modules with outsized ROI in this vertical — but only if the foundations are in place.
Legal & Contracts (CLM)
Contract review, redlining, first-draft generation, e-discovery — the highest-leverage AI surface for most firms, once your precedent library is organized.
Audit Trail
Documented evidence of who accessed what, when. Increasingly a client-security-questionnaire ask, and the precondition for any client-data-touching AI.
Sample result
What a recommendation looks like
Not a generic score — a module-tagged, prioritized rec with a reason grounded in your answers.

Contract Review & Redlining
Impact HEffort M
Flags risky clauses, suggests fallback language, and enforces house style on inbound contracts.
Why this fits you: You told us contract review is a real drain. Corporate practice + a mid-size firm — this is where AI compounds fastest for you.
What we deliberately don't cover
We'd rather be narrow and honest than pretend one taxonomy fits everyone.

What comes next
From self-serve assessment to full audit
We recommend that you start with a free self-serve assessment to get a broad overview of the AI opportunities you can take advantage of. After, you can proceed to a full paid audit where we ultimately get to map your current operational issues to the precise AI-enhanced solutions you need, as well as a roadmap to a build that serves rather than hinders you.
