Privilege Review & Log Drafts

A purchasing guide to buying a workflow that suggests a privilege call for each document in a review set, cites the passage behind it and drafts the log description for your attorneys to decide.

Where should the documents come from?

Suggest a privilege call for each document with its basis and a draft log description. Your reviewing attorneys make every call and approve the log.

One batch includes up to 100 documents with metadata.

Your attorneys make every privilege call and approve the log. No coding changes, productions, redactions applied or filings.

What is included

Read each document with its metadata and family, check people and domains against your list, suggest withhold, redact, produce or attorney review with the supporting passage, and draft a log description that does not reveal the advice.

Start with document exports from your review platform, the list of attorneys and law firms in the matter, your privilege criteria and documents already coded by your attorneys. The connected option reads documents and writes suggestions to separate draft fields; it never changes coding or production sets.

How reliable should the suggestions be?

Agreeing with reviewers is not enough. Choose how many privileged documents it must catch, how often its privilege suggestions hold up and how usable the draft log entries are.

How these standards are measured

Test on held-out documents from other custodians and date ranges, coded by your attorneys. Measure privileged documents caught separately from agreement on calls; family members, forwarded legal advice and documents with no text must stay visible, and missing output is a failure.

Targets for your selected standard
What is checkedTarget
Privileged documents caughtDocuments suggested for withholding, redaction or attorney review divided by all documents your attorneys coded privileged; missing output counts as a miss.≥98%
Privilege suggestions upheldWithhold or redact suggestions your attorneys coded the same way divided by all withhold or redact suggestions.≥80%
Log entries usableDraft log descriptions an attorney accepts without substantive change divided by all drafts; any description that reveals the advice fails the run.≥85%
Passages correctSuggestions whose cited passage, author, recipients and date match the document divided by all suggestions.≥97%

Missing a privileged document matters more than an extra one for attorneys to check. Suggestions and log text are drafts; your attorneys make every call and sign off the log.

How quickly do you need each batch prepared?

Choose how quickly a document batch should be ready for attorney review. Review time is separate.

Timing details

Time from accepting a batch to stored suggestions, including text and metadata reading, model calls, queueing and retries. Confirm matter size and production deadlines with your provider.

The target applies to at least 95% of agreed test runs, with 4 in progress at a time.

How much do you want to spend per batch?

Choose the machine budget for one batch of documents. Tighter budgets may send clearly non-legal documents through a smaller model.

Cost details

Includes model calls, retries and shared hosting allocation. Attorney review, review platform and hosting fees, and the calling agent are separate. Failed and repeated runs also consume resources.

Reference machine cost: $1.28 – 1.68 per batch at 100 batches a month. The selected cap is a target to test, not a replacement for this estimate.

Where do you want it to run?

Keep matter documents in your cloud or on your own server. Choose whether document text may go to an approved AI service under your agreed confidentiality terms.

Data and access details

Runs in a cloud account you control, with access controls and logs.

Document text goes only to the selected external model under agreed retention and confidentiality terms. Agree these with the client before processing a matter.

Use read-only access, keep each matter separate and keep credentials out of prompts. No external calls uses exported batches and private inference; it cannot use the review platform connection.

How do you want to use it?

Use a review page, your current AI agent or a dedicated privilege review agent. You can choose more than one.

Anything else your provider should know?

Optional. Your choices are included automatically.

Common questions

Does it decide what is privileged?

No. It suggests a call with the passage behind it. Your attorneys make every call, decide on redactions and sign off the log.

Do we need this if our review platform has AI features?

Not necessarily. Use the built-in features if they cover privilege suggestions and log drafts for your matters. Buy a separate workflow when they do not, or when you want it to run in your own environment.

Will the log entries reveal the advice?

Drafts describe the document type, the people involved and the subject without the advice itself. Any draft that reveals the advice fails the tests, and attorneys still approve each entry.

Can documents stay inside our environment?

Yes. Choose no external calls and supply your own hardware. Measure model quality and running cost during the pilot.

Which review platforms does it work with?

Any platform that exports text and metadata or offers read access. The connected option reads from the platform you name; other connections can change the scope and price.
