eDiscovery Culling

Cut review volume by culling irrelevant material early, with every decision logged and reversible.

What It Does

The agent scores documents for relevance and proposes a cull, with the reasoning and a log of every decision so the set can be defended or restored.Without it: Reviewing everything in discovery is expensive. Teams need to narrow the set without quietly dropping what matters.

  • Culls duplicates and near-duplicates first, keeping one copy with its family intact
  • Leaves anything inside a litigation hold custodian or date range in the review set
  • Culled items move to a suppressed set inside the platform, never out of it
  • Reconciles counts back to the forensic collection, so nothing is lost between systems

Illustrative example

A forensic collection lands with 1.1m items before first-pass review. The agent suppresses duplicates, system files, and material outside the pleaded date range, holds back every item from the three custodians named in the hold notice, and records the rule behind each suppression. The review manager samples the suppressed set and restores one date range before the team starts reading.
