The firm deliberately began with its most repeatable workflow rather than the hardest one, using a phased rollout to verify measured results before each expansion. Every outcome was tracked, including per-document processing time and accuracy rates, with the system auto-flagging 3 percent of documents for human review rather than assuming full automation. Notably, the implementation achieved an 80 percent time reduction without replacing staff or rebuilding existing systems, and the recovered hours were redirected to higher-value work.",
