Salient eDiscovery

French philosopher, Claude Levi Strauss’ quote about the scientist applies equally to the data scientist today.   Getting the prompt right, when using Gen AI to help filter large amounts of data at the start of a forensic investigation is critically important.  One of the articles in our recent series on the use of Gen AI in real life eDiscovery scenarios explores the art of prompt engineering.  Read more:    https://lnkd.in/gV-pCyBJ 

It's almost the end of a what's been a very busy year for us at Salient. Our final newsletter of the year reflects on how far we've come. We also examine a case where we reduced the number of documents under review from 9 million to 50,000 (consequently significantly reducing the review time by months), as well as exploring the role of digital forensics in workplace investigations. Thank you for your support this year! We're taking a well-earned break over the festive period (23 Dec - 3 Jan) but are available on support@salientdiscovery.com for urgent matters.

Employee misconduct can disrupt workplace harmony, compromise organisational integrity, and cause financial and reputational harm. Whether it’s the theft of intellectual property, fraud, or the misuse of proprietary information, addressing such issues demands a comprehensive, impartial approach.   Digital forensics in workplace investigations is now commonplace, offering insights that are precise, reliable, and fully admissible in legal proceedings. We explore the challenges of workplace investigations and how digital forensics can help overcome them. https://lnkd.in/gE2v2YGE 

Saving our clients review time is just one of the benefits of working with an experienced eDiscovery team.  We were able to apply our experience unravelling large quantities of inter-related data to help our client quickly check and match 30,000 cash book and bank statement line items against similar receipt and payment references.  They reckoned we saved them at least 3 months of manual effort.  If you missed this case study - catch up here.    https://lnkd.in/gsqMvcxn
