ChatEQ helps producing counsel review a client’s files against the responses they already served. Privilege and other deals come back to a lawyer. You sign what goes out. The other side gets a production their review tool can load.
The scope is yours. The pile is ours to code.
The responses you served are the scope. Not the other side’s whole request. Not another deal that happens to sit in the same file.
We code the client files against those responses, then hold privilege and mixed files for you before anything ships. Originals stay as you provided them. The same file is reviewed once. An email and its attachments stay together.
Before the whole set is treated as settled, you see the questions that would otherwise get the same answer on every file. Who a person is. Whether another deal is in. What the responses actually promised.
Pleadings and strategy notes decide what is owed. They are not what you produce.
The scope and the privilege list are yours to edit and sign before the review runs.
The pile shrinks. You own privilege, redaction, and whatever is still unclear.
A fifteen-thousand-file dump is not a reading assignment. Missing privilege is worse than over-producing. And if opposing counsel or the court asks how you coded, “the AI looked at it” is not a methodology.
Most files are obviously out. The cost is finding the few that are in, privileged, or mixed with other deals.
Responsive and privileged is still a withhold. We never let a produce call wash out a privilege flag.
This dispute plus another deal is not “produce the whole PDF.” It is redaction, or a person, until someone decides.
Same order every matter. You see the open questions before the whole set is treated as if they were settled.
The responses you served, a privilege list, and the client files. You edit the scope and sign it.
Who a person is. Whether another deal is in. What the responses actually promised.
Privilege, redaction, and anything still unclear. Those calls stay with counsel.
In the form the case requires, ready for the review tool the other side already uses.
Counsel can ask the matter while the desk stays open. The assistant is bound to that one matter. Ask where things stand, what is waiting, or for a timeline. It does the looking. Privilege, redaction, and what goes out still come back to a lawyer.
An example of the question list. Not a client file.
Your calls
Send, redact, withhold, or leave out
The files that still need a lawyer
The volume
Ready for their review tool
In the form the case requires
Still yours
Redactions, the privilege log, the cover letter
A lawyer signs these before service
A lawyer applies redactions before anything is served.
We flag privilege and hold those files. You write the log, and the cover letter.
What went out and what stayed back are both sampled, and the result is written down.
You stay counsel. We do the review work under your direction.
Each matter is kept apart. Files are encrypted in transit and at rest. Client documents are not used to train models. No client file is sent to a model until you approve that provider.
You chose a written method. Lawyers decided privilege, redaction, and anything uncertain. What went out and what stayed back were both sampled. We help you say that. The workings of the system stay with the engagement.
The deadline, a rough size, and the responses you already served. A privilege list and a sample of the files can wait for the next conversation.
The questions only you can answer, the calls still open, and a volume the other side can load. You still apply redactions, sign the privilege log, and send the cover letter.
The production is built to load in the tool your firm, or the other side, already uses. You serve that production. The case does not have to move onto a new platform to go out the door.
Discovery files are the client’s life. Each matter stays apart, files are encrypted, and nothing is used to train a model.
One client’s documents are never stored or reviewed with another’s. Originals stay as the firm provided them.
Which request it met, and whether it was marked to produce, redact, withhold, or leave out, against the scope you signed.
Client documents are not used to train models. No client file is sent to a model until the firm has approved that provider.
The same signed scope on every file. Lawyers on privilege, redaction, and what is still unclear. A written sample of what went out and what stayed back.
A briefing is a conversation about the deadline, the rough size, and the responses you already served. We will say what we would take on before any client file is sent to a model.
