Raise sensitive-upload classification before first use
Sensitive information is often easiest to protect before it becomes useful to a workflow.
Early controls can compete with the speed lawyers expect when a matter is moving quickly.
“We can’t find out after the fact that a sensitive employee file took the ordinary path.”

What pulls against what
- early safeguards vs. urgent legal access
- classification precision vs. intake speed
- consistent metadata vs. surface-specific workflows
What is at stake
Late identification leaves sensitive material outside intended handling controls. Better coverage protects customers without turning urgent legal intake into a bottleneck
Why Harvey
At Harvey, this may matter because customer documents can move quickly from intake into legal analysis and drafting.

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.
