Workflow
The buyer creates a project, supplies counsel-approved current filing instructions and case metadata, and confirms scope and access. The working sequence is: 1. Extract stated requirements. 2. Record source dates. 3. Flag missing attachments. 4. Draft task assignments. 5. Track counsel confirmation. 6. Export preparation log. Users correct extracted facts, resolve flagged uncertainties and approve the final counsel-approved filing preparation checklist before use. Retain source links and a version history for the next cycle.
AI and people
Extract requirements and flag stale or ambiguous instructions. Keep model suggestions separate from verified facts. Link factual outputs to authorized input evidence and show missing information explicitly. Use deterministic checks for counts, dates, identifiers and arithmetic where applicable. A designated reviewer validates consequential outputs and signs off the delivered result.
Screens
Key screens: Filing plan, Document checklist, Confirmation log. Use a queue or timeline as the opening view, with clear owners, dates and current states. Each case opens into its source context, proposed actions and discussion. Give external participants a limited form or status page. Make the next required action visible without opening every record. Open with filing plan; move into document checklist for the detailed task; finish in confirmation log for review and handoff. Show the source record, uncertainty and approval status beside each proposed output.
Admin
Role permissions, task ownership, deadlines, reminders, approval gates, exception handling, action history, duplicate prevention and reversible configuration. Include organization-scoped access, named project owners, review queues, usage limits, export history and retention settings. Never reuse private customer material for other accounts without permission.
03Market gap
Alternatives buyers use today
Shared inboxes, spreadsheets, task boards and existing workflow automation products. Position this concept around dated filing logistics with visible unverified requirements. Compare it against the customer's current process on the same representative task. This is proposed differentiation; no exhaustive competitor study or uniqueness claim has been established.
Where this wins
Customer-specific workflow rules, reliable handoffs, operational history and integrations that make the service part of daily work. For this concept, accumulate permissioned examples and reviewer corrections around dated filing logistics with visible unverified requirements. The durable asset is reliable task-specific execution and trusted customer configuration, not access to a general-purpose AI model.
04Why now
Legal teams are adopting AI for exactly this kind of repeatable work, and the cost of language and vision models has dropped far enough that a narrow, reviewed workflow pays back quickly. The buyer already feels the problem: filing packages miss administrative requirements buried in local instructions.
05Proof & signals
Channels where buyers gather: Litigation paralegal groups and practice managers. Metrics that prove it works: Missing administrative items and preparation time.
Paid pilot
Agree the acceptance criteria, input limits and reviewer responsibilities before starting. Run prepare one synthetic filing checklist and deliver counsel-approved filing preparation checklist. Compare missing administrative items and preparation time with the buyer's current process on comparable cases; include corrections, missed issues and reviewer time. Seek payment and repeat use. Stop or revise the scope if data access, accuracy or unit economics fail.
06Execution plan
MVP
Costed pilot: No deadline calculation or filing submission without counsel verification. Start with one buyer organization and a bounded set of representative inputs. Implement the first two modules: extract stated requirements; record source dates. Support the third task through an assisted review queue: flag missing attachments. Handle the remaining required functions manually until validated. Include input upload, source references, user correction, a reviewer approval step and export of counsel-approved filing preparation checklist. Authentication, account isolation, deletion controls and basic operational logging are included. Specialized production certification, live write integrations and broader rollout are not included unless explicitly stated.
First 30 days
Week 1: interview five prospective buyers from law firm litigation administrators and inspect how they handle filing packages miss administrative requirements buried in local instructions. Week 2: prepare prepare one synthetic filing checklist using authorized or synthetic material. Week 3: share the demonstration through litigation paralegal groups and practice managers and seek one bounded paid pilot. Week 4: measure missing administrative items and preparation time, review delivery effort and ask for a repeat purchase. This is a validation schedule, not a promise that the full product can be built in thirty days.
After the pilot
After paying customers repeatedly accept counsel-approved filing preparation checklist, automate draft task assignments; track counsel confirmation; export preparation log. Add one tested read integration, reusable customer configuration and scheduled repeat delivery. Increase supported formats or teams only when evaluation cases and reviewer capacity cover the new scope. No deadline calculation or filing submission without counsel verification.
Retention
Build repeat use around counsel-approved filing preparation checklist. Save approved configurations and review decisions with permission, revisit unresolved exceptions and show progress on missing administrative items and preparation time. Offer a recurring volume allowance after repeat demand; expand to adjacent tasks only when the buyer asks and delivery quality remains acceptable.
Integrations
Authorized matter files, firm templates and approved legal knowledge collections. Calendars, email, task managers and relevant business records. Use draft actions and supervised handoffs first, then enable only specifically authorized writes. Begin with uploads and exports of counsel-approved current filing instructions and case metadata. Any named system or connector is a candidate requiring current access and compatibility checks; no live connection is included by default.
