01 / The Role

What Peggy actually does on a Tuesday.

Peggy addresses the research tax that every growing firm pays invisibly. A document that took six hours to draft the first time takes two hours to redraft because nobody remembers exactly where the last version was. A case briefed last year has to be researched again because nobody indexed it. An associate spends 45 minutes searching for a precedent clause that the senior partner wrote into three different engagement letters over the past five years. Peggy ends all of that.

She reads every document your firm produces, indexes it, and makes it findable by content, not just file name. Ask Peggy "do we have a commercial lease NDA from the past 18 months with a carve-out for pre-existing IP?" and she returns results in seconds.

She also notices things. When a regulation she has indexed gets amended, she flags the documents that cite it. When two matters turn on similar factual patterns, she surfaces the connection. She does not interpret; she points. The judgment stays with you.

A typical Tuesday for Peggy.

  • 07:00
    Overnight document review. Three new documents were saved to the shared drive. Peggy reads, categorizes, and indexes all three before the office opens, with tags and extracted key points.
  • 09:00
    Precedent search request. An associate asks: "Do we have a commercial lease with a right of first refusal clause and a 90-day notice requirement?" Peggy returns three matching documents with summaries in under 90 seconds.
  • 11:00
    Regulation update flagged. A partner mentions a 2023 memo on a specific tax issue. Peggy retrieves it in 12 seconds and surfaces the relevant section, noting that the underlying regulation has since been amended.
  • 13:30
    Knowledge base curation. Peggy reviews the past month's completed matters, extracts reusable clauses and precedent memos, and adds them to the searchable library with appropriate tags and summaries.
  • 15:00
    Research reading list requested. A new associate asks for a starting point on restrictive covenants in Minnesota employment contracts. Peggy returns a curated set of firm-produced work product ordered by relevance and recency.
  • 16:30
    Monthly knowledge health report. Documents indexed, queries answered, items flagged for review due to regulatory changes, and coverage gaps identified in underrepresented practice areas.

What Peggy's actual output looks like.

Structured index

Notion databases, SharePoint wiki, custom KB structures
Works with your existing file naming and folder structure. Peggy does not require you to reorganize your documents. She indexes what is already there, building the searchable layer on top of your current structure. Retrofitting to past documents takes 5 to 10 business days depending on library size.
04 / Onboarding

Fourteen days from offer letter to a searchable knowledge base.

Days 1 to 3

Access and scope

Peggy connects to your document storage. You define which folders and document types she should index, and which (if any) to exclude. Retroactive indexing begins.

Days 4 to 7

Indexing and calibration

Peggy indexes the past 12 to 24 months of work product. You review a sample of her index entries and summaries, correcting any misclassification. Tag vocabulary is refined.

Days 8 to 11

Live search queries

Partners and associates submit real queries. You evaluate the results and tell Peggy when relevance ranking is off. Search precision improves rapidly with feedback.

Day 14

Unsupervised

Peggy indexes new documents same-day, answers queries, and sends the monthly knowledge health report. The 30-day check-in is on the calendar.

06 / Common Questions

About hiring Peggy specifically.

Does Peggy work with our existing document management system?

Yes. Peggy connects to NetDocuments, iManage, SharePoint, Worldox, Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive. She indexes documents where they already live. You do not need to reorganize your files or move anything. The onboarding scope conversation determines which folders she covers and at what depth.

How does Peggy handle attorney-client privilege and confidential documents?

Peggy operates within your existing access controls. She only indexes documents that the credentials you provide can access. If you want specific matters, client files, or practice areas excluded from her index, you configure those exclusions during onboarding. She does not copy documents to external systems. Everything stays in your existing storage.

What if Peggy indexes a document that contains an error or a superseded analysis?

She indexes it with a note that it is older work product, and she surfaces recency context when returning results. If a document's underlying regulation or case law has since changed, she flags it as potentially stale in the monthly health report and in any query result that returns it. Partners and associates still apply judgment. Peggy surfaces the information; she does not validate the legal analysis.

Can Peggy work with documents going back years, or only new work?

Both. Retroactive indexing of your existing library begins during onboarding and covers whatever scope you define. A firm with five years of work product typically completes retroactive indexing in 5 to 10 business days, depending on volume. Ongoing indexing of new documents is same-day.

How does the stale citation monitoring work in practice?

Peggy tracks the statutes, regulations, and case holdings she indexed alongside each document. She checks those sources against public law databases on a monthly cycle. When a source has been amended, repealed, or overruled, she flags the documents that cite it in the monthly health report and tags those documents in the index. She does not rewrite them. She points, you decide.
