Workflows
Based on practitioner evidence, Datagavel is used in these workflows:
What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Datagavel addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
Insurance claims supervisor managing 500 litigated matters across 15 panel defense firms has no visibility into legal spend trends — every firm bills differently, invoice review is manual, and by the time they spot a case burning through budget it's already $50K over
Claims litigation manager at a P&C insurer has 500 open litigated claims across 30 defense firms but no way to compare which attorneys actually get better outcomes — case cycle times, settlement-to-reserve ratios, and cost per claim vary wildly by firm, and when it's time to assign a new bodily injury case the manager picks a firm based on relationship and gut feel, not data, while nuclear verdicts are rising and C-suite wants accountability for defense spend ROI
Where it fits in your workflow
Before Datagavel
Corporate defendant hit with tort claim (PI, product liability) → outside counsel engaged → defense team needs rapid case valuation and consistent matter tracking across portfolio of hundreds of matters
After Datagavel
Matter data structured in DataGavel → AI generates comparable valuations → dashboard provides portfolio-level view → defense strategy informed by data → settlement or trial decision made with consistency
Integrations & hand-offs
