Full Process

Objective document coding services are billed on a per document rate which is based, in part, on volume. The total number of documents is determined by an established "average document length". During document review, specified information is extracted and entered directly into a customized database structure.

  • Beginning document number
  • Ending document number
  • Beginning range
  • Ending range
  • Document title (descriptive)
  • Document date
  • Estimated date (Y/N)
  • Document type
  • Author
  • Recipient
  • Carbon copies
  • Conditions

Three additional fields -- Box Number, Phase, and Page Amount are included at no extra charge.




Once the documents have been coded, data reports are prepared and a quality-control review is undertaken, with the original documents, to locate and correct errors. Our permanent staff of legal assistants performs a 100% quality control process on all fields, for the entire document collection, which, as an example, includes: field conformity, spell-checking and number-checking, among other features. In total, the end-of-project tasks include thirty (30) separate steps.

The data are delivered in an ASCII delimited file format.
