Why Amplify Review Is the Smartest First Pass You’ll Ever Make
Why Amplify™ Review Is the Smartest First Pass You’ll Ever Make
In the traditional world of legal review, first pass review is often where good intentions go to die. It’s labor-heavy, slow, expensive, and prone to human error. You load the docs, throw bodies at the problem, and hope for the best. The process is reactive, the data insights are minimal, and the costs—well, let’s just say they tend to spiral like a toddler in a candy store.
Enter Amplify™ Review —Lineal’s smarter, faster, and fully modernized approach to first pass review that ditches the status quo in favor of something better: analytics-led, expert-guided, and outcome-obsessed.
This isn’t your grandfather’s doc-by-doc slog. This is review done right—with data, with intention, and with results that make legal teams look like rockstars. Here’s why.
1. Data-Driven Decisions > Manual Guesswork
Amplify™ flips the traditional model on its head by using analytics and AI from the jump. Instead of asking reviewers to start reading cold, Amplify™ Review uses powerful classifiers and expert-designed workflows to group similar documents into intelligent batches—so reviewers aren’t guessing, they’re recognizing patterns.
With this data-first approach, entire swaths of documents can be categorized together based on behavior, content type, communication style, or relevance cues. That means you don’t review 10,000 similar emails one at a time—you review one, and make an informed call on the rest.
2. Subject Matter Experts, Front and Center
Traditional review throws humans at the problem. Amplify™ throws the right humans at it.
Every Amplify™ Review project is powered by Lineal’s team of subject matter experts (SMEs) who guide the data mapping, batching, and decision-making processes. These aren’t just legal temps—they’re litigation veterans, data scientists, and workflow strategists who design smarter review processes from day one.
The result? Projects that are faster, more accurate, and infinitely more defensible.
3. Intelligent Batching for Smarter, Faster Progress
Gone are the days of 500-document batches assigned blindly to reviewers. Amplify™ ‘s intelligent batching capabilities allow us to target the most important documents first, segment documents by issue, and tailor the review flow to the actual case needs.
Why waste time reviewing the low-hanging fruit when you can go straight to the facts? Amplify™ gets you to the evidence faster—cutting down on noise and cutting straight to what matters.
4. Budget Certainty with a Per-Doc Pricing Model
Legal budgets are tight. Amplify™ respects that.
With fixed-fee, per-document pricing, Amplify™ gives clients cost assurance from day one. You’ll never get surprised by hourly overages, and you’ll always know what you’re paying for—and why.
And because the platform is so good at culling non-relevant documents early, you end up reviewing fewer documents in total. Fewer docs + fixed fee = money left in the bank (and way less CFO-induced stress).
5. Creating Room for aiR (Amplify in Review)
The cost savings generated by Amplify™ Review’s efficiency do more than save your bacon—they create budgetary headroom for higher-value activities like aiR (Amplify™ in Review), our specialized overlay that injects even more analytics and AI into the process.
That means advanced privilege identification, automated issue tagging, and deep content classification—all with the review spend you were already planning on.
So instead of choosing between fast and smart, you get both. Because why not?
6. Defensibility That Speaks for Itself
Every decision in Amplify™ Review is tracked, logged, and documented—creating a defensibility paper trail that’s second to none.
You’ll know who reviewed what, how decisions were made, what logic was applied, and what data sets were excluded and why. And if opposing counsel comes knocking? You’ll have the receipts—organized, coherent, and ready to go.
Defensibility isn’t an afterthought. It’s baked in.
7. Faster Time to Facts, Faster Time to Done
Let’s be honest—traditional review is slow. Teams can spend weeks or months just spinning up, only to wade through documents at a glacial pace.
Amplify™ Review accelerates the review lifecycle by weeks, if not months, by eliminating the busywork and getting straight to the signal. Early case assessments? You get them early. Key docs? Found faster. Final production? Done sooner.
Speed doesn’t just feel good—it gives your legal team a strategic advantage. The faster you know the facts, the faster you can act.
Bottom Line: Amplify™ Review Isn’t Just Better. It’s Built for This.
We didn’t build Amplify™ Review to be a shiny new coat of paint on an old process. We built it to completely rethink how first pass review should work in the modern, data-driven world of litigation and investigations.
With analytics that guide every step, SMEs who know the terrain, pricing that gives you confidence, and tech that keeps you ahead of the curve, Amplify™ Review isn’t just a smarter first pass.
It’s the only one that makes sense.
