By understanding the data at an early stage, parties can begin to quantify information that may need to be uncovered.

ayfie's proprietary NLP technology crawls the contents of all selected files and automatically extracts dates as well as key entities including persons, locations and organisations. This allows for a more rapid discovery process. The timeline can be built based on the date of document, a date mentioned within a document or a custom date set by the user.
In addition, team members working on the case or transaction can add and review annotations, notes, and tags - which are layered on top of the source document.
