The Red Herring of Defensibility and Predictive Coding

Predictive Coding™ has been getting a lot of press lately, and not just in legal-specific publications like the ABA Journal and Law.com but in major, “mainstream” publications like the Wall Street Journal as well.  This seemingly newfound interest has actually been building for several years, with the tip of the proverbial iceberg only breaching the surface in the last nine months – once customers like Fulbright & Jaworski, Morgan Lewis, Pfizer, and WilmerHale began touting Predictive Coding’s real-world benefits publicly.

As Recommind first defined and popularised, Predictive Coding™ automates the majority of the review process by using powerful concept search and auto-categorisation technology to 1) find key documents quickly, automatically and irrespective of keyword used in a search or a document, 2) automatically prioritise all documents for review (from most relevant or important to least), and 3) provide a computer-generated “review” of most documents in a collection (typically 60-90% of a collection).  The resultant benefits are twofold: ECA (Early Case Assessment) which is automated, keyword-agnostic and incredibly insightful even before review has started, and a far faster and less expensive review – as in 60-90% faster and less expensive.  And all with far superior quality and consistency.
