Why this study matters

GenAI has arrived in legal document review, but adoption requires more than excitement. Every law firm deploying AI-assisted review must answer three questions before committing: Is the process accurate? Is it reliable at scale? Is it explainable and defensible? This independent evaluation puts aji to the test.

1
Independently validated accuracy - Conducted by Bennett B. Borden, a 25-year litigator and one of the world's first lawyer/data scientists, with full control over methodology, analysis, and conclusions.
2
Tested on real matter data at scale - The study ran against 33,134 documents from an actual matter, not a synthetic dataset.
3
End-to-end process coverage - the evaluation examined every stage of the aji workflow, from initial Definition creation through full-scale GenAI review, not just the output

What the evaluation covers

A definition, calibration, and validation workflow

An end-to-end walkthrough of aji's five-stage process (Define, Calibrate, Validate, Run, Utilize) and how the AI Definition Advisor helps lawyers sharpen relevance criteria before touching a single document. The study ran four calibration cycles and achieved an average agreement rate of 91.60% before a final validation of 96.95%.

Accuracy, reliability, and explainability results

A rigorous analysis of true positives, true negatives, false positives, and false negatives across calibration and validation stages. The evaluator scrutinized not just ratings but aji's natural-language reasons and in-text citations, the same transparency that makes review defensible when challenged.

What this means for legal teams in practice

Beyond the numbers, the evaluation addresses how aji changes the work lawyers actually do, from faster time-to-accuracy and early actionable insights during Definition development to an audit trail that can withstand scrutiny from any stakeholder. The evaluator's conclusion: aji provides a repeatable, testable, well-defined workflow ready for use in actual matters.
