Challenge:

Seven countries. Nine languages. 8.6 million documents. A competition law audit that traditional review could not finish in time.

Challenge:

A major global bank faced an AML investigation requiring review of 12+ million documents under a strict 3-month deadline. High-risk data patterns needed precise identification, and the cost of a traditional review approach was not an option.

Challenge:

A Fortune 100 pharmaceutical company needed to review a large, complex document population under litigation pressure. Traditional first-pass review models would have been too slow, too expensive, and too inconsistent.

Challenge:

52,795 FBI-provided documents for the Andrade criminal investigation. A status conference deadline. The case team needed to move beyond linear review and organize the full universe by concept.

Outcome:

Amplify™ tools covered 98% of the document universe. Textual Near Duplicate Identification handled 68%. Lineal Images addressed the remaining 30% of image file types. Deadline met.

Challenge:

3 million documents from 140+ custodians, transferred from a previous vendor. The data needed to be verified for completeness, then the legal team needed a fast path to the evidence that mattered.

Outcome:

The full Amplify™ Suite of Tools cut through the volume. Email threading, BotDetector, PrivFinder, Snippets, and Lineal Images each took a layer off until the legal team had a clear path to relevant evidence.
