How it works
Three steps: you bring what you have, it does the mechanical work of TRI's framework, and you get back a labeled first draft to review and finish.
Think of the tool as a knowledgeable coworker who knows TRI's framework and guides you through using it - it works alongside you, it does not work instead of you. It is not legal advice, and it does not decide anything for you. It takes the parts of TRI's process that are mostly typing, organizing, and checking - the work a framework asks you to do by hand - and does that part for you, so your time goes to the judgment calls only you can make.
The three steps
1. You bring what you have
Documents you already have, answers to a few plain questions, or anything in between. There is no required starting point - you meet it where you already are, not the other way around.
2. It does the mechanical work
It combines what you gave it with TRI's own framework to do the tasks the framework would otherwise have you do by hand - picking metrics, organizing them, drafting the table, and checking for gaps. It automates and speeds up that part.
3. You get a first draft
The outcome the framework is meant to produce - a metrics table, a plan, a summary - arrives as a first draft. You review it, correct anything that needs correcting, and finish it. It is a starting point, not a finished product.
It meets you where you are
Legal departments do not all start from the same place, and this tool does not expect them to. Some arrive with a clean set of documents already in hand. Some arrive with a messy pile of numbers that have been half-tracked in different spreadsheets over the years. Some arrive with nothing written down at all - just a willingness to sit down and answer some questions. All three are normal starting points, and the tool handles all three.
When something is missing, it asks you for it in plain conversation, the way a colleague would. And if it still does not know - because the information genuinely is not available yet - it says so plainly instead of guessing. The Examples page walks through three worked examples that show exactly these three starting points, so you can see what each one looks like in practice.
What you get back
Every result is a labeled draft. Where a number is missing, where nobody clearly owns a metric, or where a source can't be confirmed, the draft says so directly instead of quietly working around it.
It doesn't replace the lawyer's judgment; it hands that judgment a draft to react to, with the weak spots already circled, so review takes minutes instead of starting from a blank page.
The payoff
The mechanics and the tedium - the parts of TRI's framework that are really just data entry, formatting, and cross-checking - go to the tool. The substance and the decisions - what a target should be, who really owns a number, what a finding means for the department - stay with the person who has the context to judge them.
The time that gets freed up does not disappear. It shows up as higher-quality work, broader scope covered, and less last-minute scramble. And because the framework itself gets easier to actually sit down and use, it is more likely to get used consistently rather than revisited once and shelved.
