- TriggerCriticalLive
Pertinent Client Alert
Surfaces breaking news, regulatory changes, or market events that directly impact a principal's client or prospect. Highest-priority insight — enables proactive outreach before clients reach out to ask.
- TriggerCritical
Upcoming Meeting
Prepares principals for scheduled meetings by assembling a briefing packet: recent interactions with attendees, relevant news about their company, matter status, and suggested talking points.
- TriggerCriticalLive
Litigation Filing
Alerts relevant practice groups when a new court filing is submitted involving a principal's contact or their company. Enables rapid response for existing clients and proactive outreach to prospects.
- TriggerHigh
Fading Relationship
Flags contacts where interaction frequency has dropped below healthy thresholds. A fading relationship represents the window of opportunity to re-engage before the connection goes cold.
- TriggerHigh
Opportunity Follow-up
Identifies open opportunities where no updates, new touchpoints, or follow-up actions have occurred since the last pitch or meeting. Prevents deals from stalling due to neglect.
- TriggerHigh
Digital Engagement
Detects when a contact engages with firm content authored by the principal or tagged to their practice group. Engagement signals buying intent or deepening interest — the ideal moment for personalized outreach.
- TriggerHighLive
Job Change
Detects when a principal's contact has moved companies or received a substantive change in title. Job changes create both risk (losing a champion at a client) and opportunity (new relationship at a new company).
- TriggerHighLive
Initial Engagement
Identifies new connection opportunities — a newly appointed General Counsel at a target company, a former client contact joining a new organization, or a prospect who recently engaged with firm content for the first time. Designed to prompt the first meaningful touchpoint in a potential relationship.
- TriggerMedium
Fading Matter
Flags active matters with no timekeeper entries in the past 90–180 days. May indicate a matter is winding down, stuck in limbo, or needs a status update from the responsible attorney.
- TriggerMedium
Cold Matter
Escalation of Fading Matter — identifies active matters with no timekeeper entries in 181–365 days. These typically require a formal matter review and possible closure or client check-in.
- TriggerMedium
Content Recommendation
Surfaces recently published firm content that aligns with a contact's interests, practice area tags, or industry focus. Enables targeted, value-added sharing rather than mass distribution.
- TriggerMedium
Missing Opportunity
Detects when a principal has had a meeting-type touchpoint with an external contact but no corresponding opportunity exists in the CRM. Helps close the gap between relationship activity and pipeline tracking.
- TriggerMedium
Cold Relationship
Escalation of Fading Relationship — flags contacts with no touchpoints in 181–365 days. At this stage, re-engagement requires a deliberate strategy rather than a casual check-in.
- TriggerMedium
Executive Change Alert
Detects leadership changes at client or prospect companies — new CEO/CFO/GC/CLO appointments, board changes, or senior departures. Executive transitions create both risk (loss of a champion) and opportunity (new decision-maker to cultivate). Distinct from Job Change, which tracks the principal's own contacts; this monitors at the company level.
- TriggerMedium
SEC Filing Alert
Surfaces new SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, proxy statements) from client or prospect public companies. Critical filings like 8-Ks often signal material events — M&A activity, litigation disclosures, executive changes, or financial restatements — that warrant immediate outreach from relevant practice groups.
- TriggerMedium
Lobbying Disclosure Alert
Detects new Senate Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA) filings involving client or prospect companies. Surfaces LD-1 registrations, LD-2 quarterly activity reports, and LD-203 contribution disclosures. Particularly valuable for Government Relations, Regulatory, and Public Policy practices to identify companies actively engaging in federal lobbying.
- TriggerMedium
Patent Activity Alert
Monitors patent-related activity involving client or prospect companies — new patent filings, grants, assignments, inter partes reviews, and patent litigation. Essential for IP practices to proactively advise clients and for litigation groups to anticipate patent disputes.
- TriggerMedium
Regulatory Change Alert
Surfaces regulatory developments — new rules, proposed regulations, enforcement actions, or guidance documents — that impact a principal's clients or practice area. Enables proactive advisory outreach before clients discover the change on their own.
- TriggerStandard
External News Alert
Surfaces external news articles relevant to a principal's practice area and matched to their contact network. Unlike Pertinent Client Alert (which is company-specific), this casts a wider net across industry trends.
- TriggerStandard
Touchpoint Reminder
Surfaces relationships where a scheduled or planned touchpoint is overdue. Prevents planned follow-ups from falling through the cracks.
- TriggerStandard
Cohort Signal
When members of a defined cohort engage with firm content, suggests sharing that content with other cohort members who share similar interests. Leverages network effects within curated groups.
- TriggerStandard
Competitor Traffic
Detects when a competitor firm is experiencing increased traffic to specific service pages. Serves as a proxy for issue spotting — rising competitor visibility in an area may signal market shifts the firm should respond to.
- TriggerStandard
Stale Document Alert
Identifies previously delivered legal documents, opinions, or compliance materials that may require updating due to regulatory changes, new case law, or elapsed time. Powers the client portal's proactive document review workflow — enabling firms to demonstrate ongoing value by flagging work product that needs attention before clients discover the gap.
- ScoreFoundational
Client Health Score
An aggregate score compiling email communication, LinkedIn messages, manually added touchpoints, digital engagement, event attendance, opportunities/BD activity, billing time, and practice mix. Provides a single-number summary of account health.
- ScoreFoundational
Contact Health Score
An aggregate score compiling email communication, LinkedIn messages, manual interactions (SMS, calls), digital engagement, event attendance, and opportunities/BD activity. Provides relationship-level health at the individual contact level.
- ScoreFoundational
Relationship Strength Index
A composite metric measuring the depth and quality of the relationship between a principal and a specific contact. Unlike Contact Health Score (which measures overall contact-level health), the Relationship Strength Index is connection-specific — it quantifies how strong the bond is between two specific individuals based on interaction recency, frequency, reciprocity, and breadth of engagement channels.
- ScoreFoundational
Engagement Score
Measures a contact's or company's active engagement with the firm's digital ecosystem — content views, email opens, event attendance, website visits, and social interactions. Unlike Health Scores (which factor in bilateral relationship signals), Engagement Score is unidirectional: it measures how much the external party is consuming firm-produced content and participating in firm activities.
- TrendFoundational
Active Client Timekeepers Trend
Plots timekeeper entry dates against a Client over time. The slope of the trend line indicates whether engagement is growing (more timekeepers billing) or contracting (fewer active timekeepers).
- TrendFoundational
Active Practice Timekeepers Trend
Plots timekeeper entry dates against a Practice area. Indicates whether a practice group is gaining or losing active billing participation across the firm.
- TrendFoundational
Opportunity Trend
Plots BD Activity (opportunities) against a Tag, Client, or Principal over time. Reveals whether pipeline activity is accelerating or decelerating for a given dimension.
- TrendFoundational
Content Engagement Trend
Plots prospect engagement against a piece or type of content over time. Identifies which content resonates and which is declining in effectiveness.
- TrendFoundational
Worked Hours Trend
Plots billable hours worked against a Client, Matter, or Practice area over time. A declining slope may indicate a matter winding down; an increasing slope signals growing engagement.
- TrendFoundational
Aggregate Practice Matters Trend
Plots active matters against a Practice area (Tag) over time. Shows whether a practice group's matter portfolio is growing, stable, or shrinking.
- TrendFoundational
Aggregate Client Matters Trend
Plots active matters against a Client over time. Indicates whether work volume with a specific client is expanding or contracting — a leading indicator of account health.
- TrendFoundational
Client Billing Trend
Tracks total billing revenue for a specific client over time, segmented by practice area and matter type. Unlike Worked Hours Trend (which measures labor input), Client Billing Trend measures revenue output — revealing whether the financial relationship is growing, stable, or contracting. A declining billing trend in an otherwise healthy relationship may indicate pricing pressure, work migration, or scope reduction.
- TrendFoundational
Practice Area Activity Trend
Comprehensive activity indicator for a practice area, combining matter count, timekeeper activity, opportunity pipeline, content engagement, and event participation into a single directional trend. Provides practice group leaders with a holistic view of whether their practice is gaining or losing momentum across all measurable dimensions.
- MatchHighLive
Event Recommendation
Identifies upcoming firm or industry events that align with a contact's interests, practice area tags, or geographic location. Enables targeted, personalized invitations rather than mass blasts.
- MatchHigh
Proactive Introduction
When a target account is selected, returns a ranked list of principals with the strongest relationships and/or heaviest billing hours at that client, organized by practice. Powers strategic cross-selling and warm introductions.
- MatchFoundational
Tag Recommendation
Suggests new tag assignments when a contact engages with content, attends an event, or is included on an opportunity. The parent tags of those items are recommended for the contact's profile, keeping taxonomy current with demonstrated interests.
- MatchFoundational
Applicable Experience
Surfaces relevant prior matter experience that should be added to an attorney's bio or included in an opportunity pitch or proposal. Matches matter characteristics to opportunity requirements.
- MatchFoundational
Cohort Recommendation
Identifies when an account or contact matches the criteria for inclusion in an existing cohort (curated list). Keeps cohort membership current as contact attributes evolve.
- MatrixFoundational
Matter Practice Mix
Heatmap visualization of Client billings by Practice area Tag. Reveals concentration risk, cross-selling opportunities, and practice group penetration across the client portfolio.
- MatrixFoundational
Whitespace
Multi-dimensional heatmap that can cross-tabulate Clients × Tags (billings), Clients × Content (engagement), Clients × Opportunities (pipeline), or Contacts × Principal Billings. The definitive tool for identifying gaps and growth opportunities.
- MatrixMedium
Key Contact Departure
Detects when a key contact (champion, decision-maker, relationship holder) departs a client company. Distinct from Job Change, which tracks the contact's career move; Key Contact Departure assesses the risk to the account — how many active matters exist, who else at the firm has relationships there, and whether alternative contacts can sustain the engagement.
- MatrixMedium
Relationship Reactivation
Fires when a previously cold or inactive relationship shows new signs of life — the contact engages with content, responds to an email, attends an event, or reappears in a meeting. Distinct from Initial Engagement (net-new) and Fading Relationship (declining). This is the re-emergence signal that a dormant relationship is warming back up.
- MatrixMedium
Alumni Movement
Detects when a former firm attorney joins a client, prospect, or target company. Alumni represent a unique relationship asset — they understand the firm's capabilities, culture, and people. An alumni placement at a key account creates a warm path for business development that competitors cannot replicate.
- MatrixMedium
Bankruptcy Alert
Surfaces bankruptcy filings (Chapter 7, 11, 13, 15) involving client or prospect companies. Critical for restructuring and insolvency practices, and important for all practice groups to assess exposure and adjust engagement strategy when a client enters financial distress.
- MatrixMedium
Fundraising Round
Detects when a client or prospect company announces a fundraising round (Series A–F, IPO filing, debt issuance, secondary offering). Fundraising events signal growth, create legal needs (securities, corporate governance, regulatory compliance), and present cross-selling opportunities.
- MatrixMedium
Layoff Announcement
Detects when a client or prospect company announces significant layoffs or workforce reductions. Layoffs signal financial stress, create employment law needs, and may indicate shifting priorities that affect active matters. Also serves as a risk indicator for billing concentration.
- MatrixStandard
Cross-Sell Signal
Identifies practice area expansion opportunities by analyzing billing patterns, matter types, and engagement signals across a client portfolio. Distinct from Proactive Introduction (which identifies people); Cross-Sell Signal identifies service gaps — practice areas where the firm has capability but the client isn't currently engaged.
- MatrixStandard
Relationship Gap
Identifies key accounts where the firm lacks relationships with decision-makers. Analyzes contact seniority, relationship strength, and role coverage to find gaps — accounts with deep operational contacts but no C-suite or GC-level relationships, or where all relationships flow through a single principal.
- MatrixStandard
Task Overdue
Flags tasks that have passed their due date without completion. Simple deterministic trigger distinct from Touchpoint Reminder (relationship-focused). Task Overdue is operational — ensures follow-ups, deliverables, and assigned work items don't fall through the cracks.
- MatrixFoundational
Billing Concentration Risk
Flags clients where revenue is heavily concentrated in a single practice area. A client with 90% of billing in one practice represents both a fragile revenue source and an unrealized cross-selling opportunity. Works with Matter Practice Mix and Whitespace to provide a quantified risk score.
- MatrixFoundational
Relationship Concentration Risk
Flags client accounts where all meaningful relationships are held by one or two principals. If those principals leave the firm or shift focus, the entire account relationship is at risk. Quantifies the 'bus factor' for key accounts.
