The reliable spine
The reliable spine is deterministic: the standardised review workflow, the capture-validate-file-and-route pipeline at the door, the arithmetic and integrations, and the approvals and source-page audit trail.
Professional Services (CA, Law, Consulting)
Document and due-diligence review acceleration
The firm's highest-paid work is a senior reading documents (contracts, data rooms, financial statements, prior working papers) page by page from cold. It is slow, it does not scale, and it is where review hours and margin disappear, while a junior re-keys the same extracts by hand. Half the firm's real information arrives as a document and never cleanly reaches a system: a client's trial balance and bank statements re-keyed by three people, a resolution or certificate buried in an inbox, an engagement letter unfindable, a notice that needs an action with no owner. Documents are re-keyed slowly and with errors or simply lost, approvals on them stall because nobody knows where they are, and when one is needed for an audit or a regulator it cannot be found. This choke-point quietly starves the review, the compliance register and the data layer of the inputs they need.
Who has it
Law firms have the signature need, in contracts, data rooms and litigation bundles; CA, accounting and tax firms in financial statements, working papers and agreements on the assurance and advisory side; advisory and consulting firms in data-room and report review. These are the most expensive, most-leveraged hours in the sector. Company-secretary and compliance practices also have it in resolutions, registers, certificates, notices and filings; CA, accounting and tax firms in client trial balances, bank statements, invoices and prior working papers; and every segment in engagement letters and identity documents.
What we build
A standardised review workflow with AI as a first-pass reader: it extracts the key terms, figures and dates, red-flags deviations from the firm's own standard positions, and traces every finding back to its exact source page. The qualified professional reviews, decides and signs. Captured documents are handled once at the door: each is read, validated, filed against the right client, matter or engagement, made findable, and routed through its workflow (capture, approval, filing, retrieval), so the same document also feeds the review, the compliance register, the firm's data layer and its precedent base instead of being re-keyed.
What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
Automation for the routine. A person on every decision that matters.
Where AI helps
AI is the first-pass reader: it extracts key terms, figures and dates, red-flags deviations from the firm's own standard positions, and traces every finding back to its exact source page for the qualified professional to review; it never owns the number, the approval, the promise or the decision.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
What changes day to day
The most expensive review hours compress; juniors stop re-keying extracts; deviations are caught with a source trail; the partner's sign-off and the source page are intact, so the work is defensible. Documents become data at the door instead of a re-keying queue; the same document feeds the review, the compliance register and the data layer instead of being typed three times; a needed document is found in seconds.
Illustrative outcome
Routine review time on repeatable document sets reduced by roughly a third, with the source trail and the partner sign-off unchanged. Re-keying hours removed; data-layer and record coverage jumps.
Illustrative; final numbers come from your own data.
