1. Broad legal AI across many practice areas is required
- If the organization needs a single AI assistant for research, advisory memos, contracts, and internal Q&A, a generalist platform may be more appropriate.
2. The organization operates in jurisdictions or matter types not supported by the product
- Historical commentary has flagged coverage limitations. If the litigation footprint is highly diverse, validate coverage carefully.
3. Publicly documented compliance is a strict procurement prerequisite
- Security and compliance artifacts were not readily discoverable publicly, which can slow procurement for organizations that require public evidence before engagement.
4. The organization cannot support rigorous QA and governance
- Automated drafting without strong review controls and governance can increase legal risk.
5. Transparent, self-serve pricing is required
- Sales-led pricing may not align with smaller firms or cost-sensitive teams.
