EVIDENCE OPTIX®
The First Technology-Enabled Workflow
For Actionable Proportionality
In 2015, the amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure required that proportionality must be used to define the scope of discovery. Since that time, judicial rulings have consistently reinforced the necessity of creating a defensible and transparent method to put this concept into practice.
IMAGINE
if custodians could be ranked according to their relevance after a five-minute interview, and those with no relevant information released.
ENVISION
all the various data sources being scored and classified based on collection difficulty.
PICTURE
building scenarios which organize custodians and data sources based on their rankings, with real-time cost metrics and cost projections.
VISUALIZE
complete organization and reporting of data source tracking information and decisioning, from collection through disposition.
Proportional Discovery Assessment®
Align the scope of discovery with the merits of the case by utilizing this patent-pending workflow. Evidence Optix® facilitates assessment and prioritization of relevant custodians and identification of key data sources to support actionable proportionality. Utilize this defensible, transparent, and comprehensive approach to narrow the scope of discovery early, thereby reducing costs and burden downstream.
