DiscoverReady is the first-to-market and industry leader in delivering domestic, offshore and hybrid (onshore/offshore) document review on a fixed per unit basis.  Our fixed “per document” pricing shifts the risks of inefficient or poor quality reviews from our clients (changing the paradigm for most reviews wherein the slower the reviewer the more time is billed) and also enables our clients to accurately budget for their review costs. 

Our reviews typically take the form of:

• 1st pass review—facilitating outside counsel review by segregating relevant or responsive files from irrelevant data, identifying priority “hot” documents, applying basic issue coding and conducting a first level screen for indicia of privilege 
• 2nd pass review—enhanced issue coding, deposition prep, document and issue research
• Privilege review support—advanced privilege analysis and preparation of privilege log under direct supervision of responsible counsel 
• Confidentiality and privacy screening—screening documents (particularly in regulatory productions) for personal and customer privacy issues, confidentially reviews for litigation matters
• Redaction and redaction log creation—redaction for privilege, confidentiality, privacy, etc.
• BizBlast review-- quickly identifying and segregating non-substantive bulk business email

i-Decision™
Through our proprietary i-Decision™ processes, and applying the best of DiscoverReady QC methodologies, we have the unique ability to leverage the best of human decisions and automation to identify relevant, and, equally importantly, irrelevant data in the discovery process, all the while ensuring the highest levels of consistency and overall defensibility of process.  In addition to producing greater review consistency, the i-Decision™ process typically reduces review costs from 15%-40%.

Quality First
For DiscoverReady, quality control (QC) is more than a step at the end of the project or after documents are reviewed – it is an integral process woven into each phase of our reviews.  Our overall QC process begins at the start of the project with good planning (including consistent and continuous workflow), thorough training, selection of quality exemplars, and, of course, the use of top-notch review professionals. 

Beyond these basic steps and our overall “quality-first’” culture, our approach to QC includes the most advanced and complete methodologies in the industry, including:

• Physical review of specified percentages of hot, privileged, responsive, and non-responsive documents
• Statistical QC – comparing results among multiple reviewers and against statistical benchmarks 
• Visualization QC – identifying inconsistent document decisions among similar documents or parent-child relationships
• Advanced “priority term” QC filtering
• Advanced privilege term screening
• PM and technical screening for issue coding consistencies

These review, QC and production methods are specifically designed to provide defensibility in the context of 30(b)(6) depositions and to assist counsel in ensuring compliance with the FRCP.
