AI Document Intelligence Pipeline
A firm processing 200+ contracts per month entirely by hand. Review cycles of 3–4 weeks. Bottleneck at every growth stage. The ask: cut that down without replacing the lawyers.
Challenge
Legal reviewers spent 40+ hours per week reading contracts to extract clauses, flag risk, and classify document type. The manual process introduced inconsistencies and made scaling impossible without proportional headcount growth.
Solution
Built an Azure OpenAI pipeline using GPT-4o and Azure Document Intelligence. Documents are ingested, classified, and passed through a structured extraction chain. Results surface in an Angular dashboard with reviewer override controls. The .NET 8 API handles orchestration, queuing, and audit logging.
Outcome
- 95% reduction in manual review time
- 4 days average review cycle (was 4 weeks)
- 94% clause extraction accuracy
