Workflows
Based on practitioner evidence, Caret is used in these workflows:
What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Caret addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
Firm uses separate tools for intake, documents, billing, and e-signatures that don't talk to each other — opening a new matter means entering the same client info 4 times across systems that should but don't share data
