Where it usually hurts first

Every agreement and opinion is drafted from scratch, and a partner checks it at midnight.

Where we would start: Drafting and second reader. First drafts of agreements, notices, opinions and reports from your own templates and past work, with every citation checked, and a second reader that checks figures, dates and defined terms before a partner signs.

Drafting and second reader, with it running

An engineering consultancy's monthly progress reports for twelve clients come out of its project tracker on the first of each month.

An example, never a client's result

Safe to say yes, in writing.

  1. “I'll pay and nothing will work.”
    It has to pass on your old work before it touches today's.
  2. “The price will creep.”
    One fixed price, in writing, before any work.
  3. “I'll be locked in.”
    Stop any month and keep everything.

Your week, as it runs today.

Five moments from a typical week.

  1. 01

    A client sends a 60 page agreement on Monday and wants comments by Wednesday.

  2. 02

    A partner wants a research note on three recent judgments by Thursday, and the search starts from nothing.

  3. 03

    A junior redrafts a notice the firm wrote last year, because nobody could find it.

  4. 04

    A fixed fee matter crosses its hours budget, and nobody notices until the bill.

  5. 05

    Nobody can say which client ate the team's week.

What it costs.

Our own sum

Every agreement and opinion is drafted from scratch, and a partner checks it at midnight.

And the rest of the week

  1. Our own sum

    We quote a fixed fee, and the work takes three times the hours we priced.

    A Rs 3 lakh fixed fee priced at 60 hours that takes 180 earns Rs 1,667 an hour instead of Rs 5,000.

  2. Our own sum

    The research for one opinion takes a junior two days.

    Two days of a junior's time on each of eight research notes a month is 16 working days, most of a month.

  3. Our own sum

    The answer is in someone's head, or in a file nobody can find.

    Half an hour a day lost looking for past work, across 20 lawyers and consultants, is about 2,200 hours a year.

  4. A study, 2024

    We did the work in March and got paid in July.

    Delayed payments owed to Indian MSMEs stood at an inflation-adjusted Rs 7.34 lakh crore in March 2024 (GAME, FISME and C2FO, reported in November 2025).

  5. A study, 2025

    Staff paste client files into free AI tools, and we only find out later.

    77% of staff who use AI tools paste data into them, and 82% of those pastes come from personal accounts the company can't see (LayerX, October 2025). In India the average data breach cost Rs 22 crore in 2025, and unapproved AI use added about Rs 1.8 crore to it (IBM Cost of a Data Breach, India, 2025).

  6. A study, 2025

    Everyone says AI will save us hours, but we don't know where to start.

    Professionals expect AI to save them 5 hours a week within a year, worth about $19,000 per person, but only 22% say their firm has a visible AI strategy (Thomson Reuters, Future of Professionals, June 2025, 2,275 professionals).

What we would build

Ten systems for law and consulting, under the six offers.

We plan the whole company, then build the first three. The usual first build here is marked, and the window beside the cards shows the one you are reading.

Drafting and second reader, the usual first build here. Shown with sample data.

Stay in controlYour staff already use AI. Your files go with them.

  1. The usual first buildDocuments

    Drafting and second reader

    First drafts of agreements, notices, opinions and reports from your own templates and past work, with every citation checked, and a second reader that checks figures, dates and defined terms before a partner signs.

  2. Operations

    Deadline tracker

    Every hearing date, limitation date and client deadline across matters, with reminders before each one.

Win customersLeads wait until Monday. The buyer doesn't.

  1. Apps

    Client portal

    Clients upload papers, see where their matter stands, sign and pay in one link with your firm's name on it.

  2. Growth

    Partner visibility engine

    Turns your partners' views into articles, client alerts and posts each week, in their voice, for their approval.

Get the work doneEverything comes to you. Most of it shouldn't.

  1. Voice

    Meeting notes to tasks

    Records client meetings with consent, writes the notes and next steps, and files them to the right client or matter.

  2. Operations

    Time capture

    Drafts each person's timesheet from their mail, calls and documents, so hours worked stop leaking before they're billed.

  3. Documents

    Engagement letters and billing

    Engagement letters drafted from your templates and the scope agreed, and invoices raised the day each stage is done.

Get paidYou did the work. The money shouldn't take 90 days.

  1. Intelligence

    Matter and margin view

    Hours against the fee, write-offs, deadlines and unpaid bills by client, matter and partner every Monday, with a warning when a fixed fee matter passes 70% of its budget.

Know your companyOnly one person knows how pricing works.

  1. Agents

    Research brief writer

    Searches judgments, rules and the sources you allow, and writes a brief with every claim linked to its source and date, plus a list of what it couldn't find.

  2. Knowledge

    Firm brain

    Your precedents, memos, workpapers and past advice, searchable in plain words, with each answer showing the document it came from and only to people allowed to see it.

A sample supplier invoice: read, matched to the order, with one line flagged for a person. Shown with sample data.

AI that runs in your own cloud account, never a public tool.

The same week, with them running.

The five moments from the top of this page, once the first systems do their part. Flip back to see how it runs today.

An example week. It shows how the work changes, never a measured result from a client.

  1. 01

    The agreement comes back marked with the clauses that matter and a draft of your comments, for the partner to check.

  2. 02

    The research note arrives with every judgment and rule linked to its source, for the partner to verify.

  3. 03

    Last year's notice turns up in seconds, and only for the people allowed to see it.

  4. 04

    Hours against the fixed fee are tracked for every matter, and the partner hears at 70% of the budget.

  5. 05

    Time by client is drafted every week from mail, calls and documents, for each person to confirm.

  1. 01

    A client sends a 60 page agreement on Monday and wants comments by Wednesday.

  2. 02

    A partner wants a research note on three recent judgments by Thursday, and the search starts from nothing.

  3. 03

    A junior redrafts a notice the firm wrote last year, because nobody could find it.

  4. 04

    A fixed fee matter crosses its hours budget, and nobody notices until the bill.

  5. 05

    Nobody can say which client ate the team's week.

Signs it is time.

  • Partners spend evenings checking first drafts.
  • Fixed fee matters run over their hours, and nobody knows until the bill.
  • Precedents and past work live in personal folders.
  • Staff already use free AI tools on client work.
  • Write-offs are rising and bills are paid later each quarter.

Who decides.

The managing partner of the law firm or consultancy, who also carries the risk if anything goes wrong with a client's files.

Why this time is different.

AI that was bought and changed nothing.

A tool was bought and nobody owned the job. We take the whole job, test it on your past work, and stay to run it.

What partners ask first.

Who says yes before anything goes out?

The person who owns that job at your company today. You name them when we write the rules with you. Inside those rules the agent acts at once. Anything outside them waits for one tap from the person named, on their phone, ready to approve or to change.

Do we have to change the software we use?

No. We build around the systems you already run, in accounts in your company's name, and we confirm each one before we start.

What does it cost?

There is no price on this page, because it depends on the work. After the session you get a written proposal with the scope, the test it has to pass, who works on it and one fixed price, before any work.

Where we would start for law and consulting: Stay in control

Your staff already use AI. Your files go with them.

Give them a private AI that runs on your own servers, with your rules deciding what it may do alone and every step on record.

What changes. Your files stay inside, your rules decide what AI may do alone, and every step is on record.

What we measure, before and after. Company files pasted into public AI tools, filings and renewals first seen late and AI actions with no record.

The old way keeps running until the new one has passed on your own work.

What costs your firm most? Bring us that.

45 minutes on a video call with our founder and the people who live with the problem. Nothing to sign. You leave knowing what we would build first, and why.
