The Problem

Litigation runs on depositions, but reviewing them is slow, inconsistent, and expensive.

Linear review hits a ceiling.

Even the most skilled reviewer reads one minute at a time. A modern matter generates dozens of hours of deposition video. The math breaks as soon as the docket grows.

Senior judgment doesn't scale.

Partners set the standard but can't sit on every deposition, least of all the early-case reads where strategy gets shaped. The most experienced eyes are the ones with the least time.

Quality varies across the docket.

Different associates, different days, different levels of pattern recognition. Two depositions of equal weight get unequal reads, and the variance stays invisible until something important gets missed.

Manual review economics.

Days of associate time per deposition, to find the four moments that decide the case. The cost is silent, and the misses are silent too.

The Approach

Eight commitments
no other platform makes.

Native multimodal intelligence.
Text, audio, and video analyzed as one signal, not bolted on after the fact. The deposition is a single record. We treat it that way.
Senior-grade fidelity at scale.
The judgment a senior litigator applies in a first read, codified and applied uniformly across the docket. Junior associates ship analysis at a partner's standard, every matter, every time.
Hours, not days.
A complete analytical read of the deposition, ready before the next morning's prep call. Days of preparation collapsed into a single overnight pass.
Behavior, read honestly.
Not sentiment-overlay theatre. Real behavioral signals: vocal stress, micro-expression, gaze, pause structure. Measured against the actual testimony.
Grounded. Always cited.
Every output traces to a page-line, a timestamp, a video segment. Nothing generated without a verifiable source. Built for attorneys, not optimists.
Strategy-aware.
Add the objectives a deposition was meant to answer. Cognition reads the testimony, links every segment that addresses each goal, and identifies what wasn't covered. Coverage becomes a tally, not a guess.
Court-ready by default.
Three reports from one case, written for the audience that's reading it. A Litigation Brief for the internal team. A Case Update for the client. A Discovery Memo for opposing counsel. Finished work product, not first drafts.
Provider neutral.
Works with depositions from Veritext, Steno, Planet Depos, Lexitas, Esquire, U.S. Legal, or your in-house videographer. Bring the record. We read it.
