With all the hype around technology-assisted review (TAR) (a.k.a. predictive coding), you might think it’s just the latest technology toy for lawyers to figure out and then defend in front of a judge. For some legal practitioners, that’s certainly the case. But for others, TAR is another tool in the ever-expanding toolbox — one that can be applied not just reactively in a document production, but also for risk assessment purposes.
Despite its cutting-edge reputation, on the document production front TAR is approaching mainstream. But what if it could also be used proactively in business to help manage information — or gain insight into problems before they occur? Using these tools to identify patterns of behavior, risk decision points, and control data expansion has the potential to not only save money, but also facilitate proper risk planning and training in the ordinary course of business in all industries.
