How this site is produced.
rlegaltech.com is an independent, practitioner-first reference for the legal technology market. Every number on the site traces back to observable, dated evidence. This page explains how — and what we will and will not claim.
The canonical ranking
The rlegaltech 100 and 500 are ranked by the canonical rlegaltech score — a 3-month moving average of verified market-footprint signals: public demand for each vendor, professional audience, and verified integrations. Signals are identity-corrected before they count: where a vendor's name collides with an unrelated brand, place or common word, we attribute only what the evidence supports, and ambiguous cases are excluded after manual review rather than guessed.
Attention indexes
The Hype 10 measures market attention relative to a vendor's verified real-world footprint, identity-corrected and manually reviewed. Its seats are earned, not filled: a vendor qualifies only above 2× the market median — below that line is ordinary brand awareness, not hype. The Churn index is being rebuilt on the same framework and publishes nothing from interim data.
Adoption evidence
Law-firm adoption pages record only first-party, dated evidence: a firm's own announcement, a vendor's announcement clearly attributed as the vendor's claim, or credible trade press. A pilot, a selection, a deployment, an expansion and a decommission are different events and are labelled as such — a logo on a marketing wall is none of them. The absence of a found announcement is never treated as evidence that a firm uses no technology.
Jobs and webinars
The jobs directory is rebuilt every week from first-party sources only: each company's own careers page or applicant-tracking board, never job aggregators. A posting is a posting, not a hire. One employer requisition is counted once however many locations it advertises; a source that fails to load is never recorded as a closure; and a careers page we resolve for the first time is marked discovered, not newly opened. Pay ranges appear only where the employer publishes them. Webinar listings come from the hosts' own registration pages, with date, time zone and presenter recorded as published.
What we will not claim
We do not publish figures we cannot source, we do not treat missing data as zero, and we do not let silence prove a negative. Where a figure is a vendor's own statement, it is labelled as such. Where our coverage is incomplete, the page says so.
Corrections and right of reply
Vendors and firms can challenge any datum via modmail. A valid correction with evidence is applied at the next edition, and the change is recorded. We would rather be corrected than confidently wrong.
