DISCO Reduces Document Volume by 60% in Time-Sensitive Government Investigation

Managed Review Services

Faced with an overdue subpoena from the Department of Transportation, an electrical contractor needed to produce documents as soon as possible. With more than 250,000 documents to review and complicated review requirements — including data segregation for certain users and complex responsiveness standards — the contractor needed a review team that could make it through the documents quickly without sacrificing accuracy or overproducing data. In conjunction with their outside counsel, the contractor opted to engage DISCO Review. With a team of 10 reviewers, the project lasted just over six weeks, with multiple phases as new documents were added to the review population. Using DISCO, outside counsel was able to systematically segregate and identify documents from the rolling collections to add to the review population. Utilizing DISCO’s powerful search tools and metadata filters, counsel was able to reduce the 256,000 documents collected to a review population of 101,000. The DISCO team identified 96% of the responsive documents in the database after reviewing only 40% of the collected document population, saving the contractor over $100,000 in review costs versus a traditional linear review. Utilizing DISCO’s AI and a close feedback loop with the contractorand their outside counsel, DISCO delivered high-quality results, thousands of dollars in cost savings, and met the timeline to respond to the DOT subpoena.
