What pulls against what

  • engagement signals vs. research completion
  • model quality vs. interaction design
  • thin evidence vs. confident prioritization
  • learning speed vs. causal confidence

What is at stake

The observed drop-off is real, but its cause is unclear. A well-chosen experiment can reveal whether better grounding, scope, or research guidance earns continued use

Why Harvey

At Harvey, this can be relevant because research work commonly moves between legal authorities and matter materials.

This is the setup. The work is inside.

Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
