Single Source of Truth Starter Guide
Most firms don’t have a single source of truth. They have a client list in one system, old adverse parties buried in closed files, and the rest scattered across email, spreadsheets, and one partner’s memory. The ambition this guide serves is to fix exactly that: pull it all into one place, run AI across it, and finally ask questions of the firm’s own knowledge.
That is the most valuable thing a firm can build. It is also where privilege and confidentiality questions concentrate, which is why the architecture has to be right before the first file goes in. This guide gives you that architecture: the layers, the build order, and the honest picture of where the law stands.
The infrastructure this requires is real and available today. Whether it preserves privilege across every scenario is the strong-but-not-yet-settled question that runs through every decision below. Build on the best available argument, configure to make your facts as strong as possible, and get an independent counsel opinion before your most sensitive matters go in.
