Roadmap
Overview
Our product roadmap is structured to deliver quantifiable returns at every stage, moving from initial pricing intelligence to an agentic Profitability Operating System.
Product Capabilities Timeline
Available Today
Pricing Intelligence Core:
LLM-powered timecard processing: ~15%+ phase classification accuracy even on "dirty" data
Matter similarity matching: ~95%+ accuracy using embeddings-based search to find the most relevant historical precedents
Scope extraction: Automated extraction of key scope and assumption variables from time narratives
Interactive proposal canvas: Generate first-draft pricing with multi-scenario modeling (fixed-fee vs. hourly, leverage sliders)
AFA variations: Adjust rates, staffing mix, AI tool usage and see real-time impact on cost and margin
Export to proposals: One-click PDF/presentation output ready for client delivery
Lifecycle management:
Fee tracking: Visibility on incurred fees against expected budget and predictive forecasting for the remainder of the matter
In scope / out of scope triggers: Breakdown of work done that is in or out of scope compared to the RFP response
Automatic WIP updates: Ability for lawyers to create regular and templated WIP updates to forward to clients to increase realisation rates
Platform Foundation:
Data Lake Integration: Read-only connector for secure, rapid ingestion of historical data
Azure-aligned deployment: Secure, scalable multi-tenant architecture
ISO 27001 compliant: Audit actively underway; penetration testing in progress
H1 2026
Public Benchmarks (In Active Development):
Patent Litigation Benchmarks: Public filing data, fee structures, and matter economics from court records
International Arbitration Benchmarks: Publicly available arbitration data to supplement internal costing
Expanding Coverage: Additional practice areas planned for Q1-Q2 2026
Enhanced Pricing Capabilities:
Firm Language: Templated scopes and assumptions based on firm approved language with variations highlighted
Scenario Mapping: Ability to model different pricing scenarios, compare alternate pricing scenarios and simulate the impact of the firm's AI investments
Reporting: Dashboard improvements to facilitate learnings and knowledge share at the partner and management levels
Real-Time Financials:
Real-time Profitability: Hourly forecast updates based on live WIP/billing feeds
Pre-bill Redlines: Apply OCGs or firm-specific formatting requirements to narratives to prevent billing disputes
Collections Signals: Automated WIP alerts and AR aging reminders
Security & Compliance:
ISO 27001 Certification: Audit in progress (target completion December 2025)
SOC 2 Type 2: Targeting Q1 2026
Penetration Testing: Active; all critical/high findings remediated
Expanded Integrations: Native connectors for Elite 3E, iManage, NetDocuments, and Microsoft Teams
H2 2026
Extended Benchmarks:
Additional Practice Areas: Expanding public benchmark coverage beyond arbitration and litigation subsets while ensuring global coverage
AI driven benchmarking: Anonymised and opt-in indicators for AI-driven efficiency gains (adjusting leverage to see margin impact)
Comparative Analytics: See how your matter economics compare to market rates
Corporate Insights: Commercial analytics for corporate and advisory-related projects from publc filings and industry reports
Revops Enhancements:
Win-Rate Analysis: Conversion and accuracy tracking by client type, practice, and partner to improve the system
Staffing & Leverage Modeling: Availability and skill set forecasting to optimize resource allocation
Revenue Attribution: Full lifecycle tracking from BD activity to realized profit
AI Visibility: tracking actual AI usage through AI platform API-integrations or the timekeeping metadata solution
BD Intelligence:
Cross-sell Detection: Automated whitespace mapping to identify unused practice areas per client
BD Analytics: Dashboards for pipeline health and engagement scores
Asset Generation: Automated and bespoke outputs for marketing teams to generate presentations or tombstones and ability for lawyers to create bespoke client outputs

The Vision
Law firms that successfully harness their data will be the ones to thrive. Narrative is building the foundation for that future — starting with the immediate, tangible value of better RFP responses and more accurate pricing, and expanding to a comprehensive pricing intelligence platform that learns, predicts, and guides strategic decisions.
The firms that invest now in structuring their historical data will have a compounding advantage: every matter they handle makes their benchmarks more accurate, their predictions more reliable, and their competitive position stronger.
Narrative: From narratives to intelligence. From intelligence to competitive advantage.
