Workflow

Overview

CaseMark's E-Discovery Status Report skill transforms raw collection logs, review platform exports, and search term data into a comprehensive, structured status report suitable for counsel, case managers, and clients. The AI normalizes custodian data across sources, calculates key metrics, flags anomalies, and projects completion timelines — delivering in minutes what typically takes hours of manual spreadsheet work.

Creating e-discovery status reports is one of the most time-consuming tasks in commercial litigation. Case teams must manually pull data from multiple vendor logs and review platforms, normalize inconsistent custodian names, calculate hit rates and productivity metrics, and synthesize everything into a coherent narrative — often under tight deadlines when counsel or clients need immediate updates.

CaseMark automates the entire e-discovery status report workflow. Upload your collection logs, review platform exports, and search term data, and the AI produces a structured, privilege-marked report with custodian metrics, search term analysis, review coding statistics, productivity benchmarks, and projected timelines — complete with flagged anomalies and actionable recommendations.

How to hand this to Para

  1. 1. Send Para the files

    Email them, drop them in a Teams or Slack message, or upload them.

  2. 2. Para runs the Ediscovery Status Report skill

    It works from your files and checks its citations against the record.

  3. 3. The finished document comes back

    Para returns it where you asked, usually as a DOCX, and offers the next step.

Questions

What documents do I need to generate an e-discovery status report?

CaseMark works best with vendor collection logs (custodian names, item counts, GB volumes), review platform exports (coding data, reviewer IDs), and search term hit reports. Privilege log drafts can also be included for a more comprehensive report. The AI will flag any data gaps in the final output.

Does the report handle multiple custodians across different data sources?

Yes. CaseMark automatically normalizes custodian names across all uploaded sources into a single canonical list, ensuring consistent tracking from collection through review regardless of how names appear in different vendor or platform exports.

How does the AI identify anomalies in the discovery data?

CaseMark flags common e-discovery red flags such as custodian volumes exceeding twice the matter average, unexpectedly low collection volumes suggesting incomplete preservation, processing error rates above 5%, and search terms with unusually high or low hit rates. Each flag includes a recommended action.

Is the generated report marked as attorney work product?

Yes. CaseMark automatically marks the final output as 'Attorney Work Product — Privileged and Confidential,' consistent with standard practice for internal e-discovery status reports in U.S. commercial litigation.

Can I use this for ongoing discovery tracking or just one-time reports?

CaseMark is designed for both. You can generate reports at any point during the discovery phase — weekly, monthly, or at key milestones. Simply upload your latest data exports each time to produce an updated status report reflecting current progress and projections.

How accurate are the projected completion timelines?

CaseMark calculates projected timelines based on current reviewer throughput rates, remaining document volumes, and historical coding patterns from your uploaded data. These projections should be reviewed by your team and adjusted for known scheduling factors or staffing changes.
