Technologies
How It Works
For prepare deposition summaries, the system identifies key admissions. NLP models process the text input by identifying entities, classifying intent, and extracting the structured information needed for downstream decisions. The output — topical summaries with page-line citations — surfaces in the existing workflow where the practitioner can review and act on it.
What Changes
A 300-page deposition summary that took a full day is produced in an hour. AI catches contradictions between depositions that manual review might miss.
What Stays
You still verify AI summaries against the transcript, flag the strategically important testimony that AI might not recognize, and organize the digest for the attorneys' specific needs.

Establish Your Baseline
Know where you are before you move
Before adopting AI tools for prepare deposition summaries, understand your current state.
Without a baseline, you can't measure whether AI actually improved anything. You'll adopt tools without knowing if they're working.
Define Your Measures
What to track and how to calculate it
Time per cycle
How to calculate
Measure how long prepare deposition summaries takes end-to-end today, then after AI adoption.
Why it matters
The most visible improvement is speed. If AI doesn't save time, question whether it's adding value.
Quality of output
How to calculate
Track error rates, rework frequency, or stakeholder satisfaction scores before and after.
Why it matters
Speed without quality is just faster mistakes. Measure both.
