Case foundation

Create a reliable case map from the first upload

ACE4 turns a mixed litigation record into a structured, searchable master case index with metadata, issue signals, relevance context, and document-level intelligence. Instead of hunting across folders and PDFs, the team works from a single organized view of the matter.

Why this matters

Large matters break down when the record is hard to navigate. If teams cannot see what documents exist, what they mean, and how they connect, every downstream task becomes slower and less reliable. The Master Case Index solves the organization problem first so the rest of the workflow can move faster.

Standardize the record

Extract core document metadata and structure across large discovery sets so the case starts from a consistent foundation.

Surface document intelligence

Combine metadata, issue tags, and relevance signals so attorneys can see what matters without opening every file first.

Support everything downstream

Chronology, review, witness prep, and drafting all get stronger when the matter starts with a reliable document map.

How the Master Case Index becomes the matter control layer

The workflow organizes the record first, then makes that structure available to the rest of the litigation team.

What the team can do once the record is organized

The Master Case Index creates a single searchable catalog of the case record and its core intelligence. That means faster onboarding, less duplication, cleaner document retrieval, and a stronger base for every other ACE4 feature.

Build one case inventory Create a consistent record of what documents exist and how they should be understood.
Reduce intake confusion Give litigation support, associates, and lead counsel a shared starting point for the matter.
Feed downstream analysis Make chronology, document review, and drafting workflows more reliable because the matter is already structured.

What legal teams get

  • Faster time-to-understanding on new or expanding matters
  • Reduced risk of missing key documents at intake
  • Better retrieval governance across teams and roles
  • A stronger foundation for chronology, review, and strategic analysis

Single searchable catalog

ACE4 positions the Master Case Index as the single source of truth across case documents and core intelligence.

Supports downstream workflows

The repository planning documents consistently frame the index as the foundation for chronology, review, witness work, and broader matter analysis.

Improves cross-team continuity

Lead counsel, associates, and litigation support all benefit when the record is organized the same way from the start.
