Target mixed-source research's next user outcome

More research activity does not always reveal what legal work improved.

A session can represent discovery, completion, or a detour from an existing workflow.

People are using it, but I can’t tell if it’s becoming part of the work or just a clever first stop.

Kirti Roy · Knowledge Management Counsel

Supports lawyers who need to combine precedent, internal guidance, and current authorities into reusable legal analysis.

What pulls against what

  • growing activity vs. demonstrated value
  • knowledge reuse vs. matter specificity
  • decisive direction vs. reversible learning
  • prompt guidance vs. user intent

What is at stake

Growing usage can conceal incompatible user needs. The right design direction depends on identifying what lawyers are actually trying to carry forward

Why Harvey

At Harvey, this can matter because mixed-source work often carries different expectations of usefulness across legal teams.

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.
