Keyword-based automated search tools are not necessarily accurate, especially when the search terms are brainstormed by counsel in a vacuum. And new-age concept-based tools, while often quite effective at targeting documents based on subject matter or concept, are technologically hard to explain and, as a result, hard to defend. Data analytics adds testing and analysis to keyword-based search, providing litigators with more accuracy and defensibility -- often at a much lower cost.
