For the same case (Litman v. Goldberg), a traditional e-discovery vendor quoted $5,000 initial + $1,020/month for a fraction of the scope. Litman Intelligence delivered a comprehensive, fully-analyzed platform covering 5.5x the data volume, with AI-powered legal analysis, interactive analytics, and a custom review platform — equivalent to $125,000-$175,000 in traditional vendor services.

A traditional e-discovery vendor processes data and hosts it. They don't analyze it, don't build the case theory, don't identify admissions, and don't map evidence chains. That work falls to the attorney — at $400-$800/hour. Litman Intelligence does both the processing AND the analysis, delivering a case-ready platform, not just a searchable database.
We combine AI-powered e-discovery processing with substantive legal analysis and custom platform development. Clients receive a fully-analyzed, searchable, presentation-ready evidence platform — not just hosted data. No monthly fees. No per-document charges. No setup delays.
| Tier | Data Volume | Retainer | Success Fee | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | Up to 50K emails | $10,000 - $25,000 | 20% first $1M | Processing, search platform, basic analysis |
| Professional | 50K - 250K emails | $25,000 - $50,000 | 15% $1-5M | Full analysis, analytics, production, legal memos |
| Enterprise | 250K+ emails | $50,000 - $75,000 | 10% $5-10M | Everything + custom development, expert support |
Full refund if the client files the case and loses. We stand behind our analysis. If the evidence platform we build doesn't support a winning case, you pay nothing.
