From Documents to Data: How Lineal’s Amplify™ Suite Is Redefining Legal Review 

For years, legal teams have accepted first-level review as a necessary evil—an expensive, time-consuming step that rarely adds real value. More reviewers meant more people clicking through irrelevant junk, not better outcomes. No one ever won a case because they hired extra eyes to scroll faster. 

At Lineal, we believe there’s a better way. We don’t throw people at inefficiency—we replace inefficiency with intelligence. That’s why we built Amplify: an AI-powered review platform designed to eliminate, not just accelerate, traditional review. While others still rely on outdated workflows, firms using Amplify™ are bypassing first-level review entirely—and they’re doing it faster, smarter, and with more control. 

First-Level Review Wasn’t Built for Modern Data—Amplify™ Is. 

Legacy workflows were built for a time when documents were simple: emails, contracts, PDFs. Today’s evidence lives in Slack messages, WhatsApp threads, cloud archives, and dynamic databases—structured and unstructured, messy and massive. 

Traditional review assumes you need to look at everything to find what matters. But when 90% of your dataset is noise, that’s a losing proposition. Amplify flips the model. It uses AI to cull irrelevant content, automate workflows, and apply forensic analytics—so legal teams start with the data that counts. Costs drop. Timelines shrink. Outcomes improve. 

Firms still stuck in the old model are burning budget for minimal insight. Firms using Amplify™? They’ve already moved on. 

Legal Review Isn’t About Documents —It’s About Data Intelligence 

Here’s the biggest misconception in eDiscovery: that the answers lie in individual documents. They don’t. The real story emerges from connections, context, and metadata—things human reviewers can’t uncover by reading documents one at a time. 

Amplify goes beyond automation—it delivers data intelligence. It surfaces relationships, analyzes context, and maps patterns across communication channels, timelines, and record types. Where a traditional tool might flag thousands of emails with “contract delay,” Amplify™ identifies the key players, tracks how the situation evolved, and ties it all to Slack threads, finance logs, or decision records. 

Teams still reviewing line by line are missing the bigger picture. Teams using Amplify™? They see what matters—before the other side even knows where to look. 

First-Level Review Isn’t Dying—It’s Already Gone 

The Legal tech space has promised for years that AI would slash eDiscovery costs. But most tools offer only marginal gains: faster coding, smarter filters, maybe some predictive tagging. They streamline review—they don’t eliminate it. 

Amplify isn’t about incremental improvements. It’s about making first-level review unnecessary wherever possible. No more review armies. No more wasted time. Just intelligent prioritization, forensic-level automation, and a proactive legal strategy that puts you ahead. 

Firms still treating first-level review as essential are pouring money into a dead-end process. Firms using Amplify™? They’re already on the next level. 

Amplify™ Isn’t Just Another Tool—It’s the Future of Review 

Most legal tech offers small steps forward. Amplify changes the game. It’s not just faster—it’s smarter. It reimagines how teams investigate, strategize, and win. 

For legal departments still stuck with runaway costs, manual review cycles, and outdated assumptions, Amplify™ isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Because in a world of endless data, there are only two options: adapt or fall behind.
