Law Firms
Law firm demand centers on client intake, conflict checks, document drafting and billing admin; privilege classification constrains every data flow including discovery itself.

Demand atoms and workflow
Demand signal / validated demand
E — Catalogue signal: Handle client intake, conflict checks, document drafts, and billing administration.
U — Not established in this lane; no attributable industry denominator or repeated accepted-outcome receipt.
Atom join
Specification crosswalk: I — intake_normalize, triage_route, extract_structure, approval_publish, follow_up_chase
Industry model
Entities
States
received → normalized → conflict_pending → lawyer_review → cleared | hold; billing: open → aged → review
Terminal owner
responsible_lawyer_or_conflicts_manager
Authority boundary
Read-only synthetic matter and document metadata; no legal advice, conflict clearance, filing, draft release, billing write, or client contact.
Source of truth / exception paths
Source of truth: Practice-management/matter system plus document-management and billing ledgers; lawyer remains authoritative.
Exception paths: name collision; privileged content; conflict false positive; document version ambiguity; limitation/deadline; access denial
Discovery preparation
Precomputable context
- matter/intake/conflict state machines
- practice-management system vocabulary
- privilege boundary (discovery may only touch metadata)
- archetype fit (case/workflow + intake desk)
Questions that must be asked
- PMS/DMS/billing systems and matter numbering authority
- practice-area mix (drives entity variants)
- conflict-check process reality
- intake volume and conversion economics
Contradiction risks
- intake speed wanted vs conflict-check rigor required
- billing aging blamed on clients vs internal WIP release

Empty-cell gap matrix
The ten category cells retain both demand and supply state. NO_OBSERVED_DEMAND_SIGNAL means the research denominator is empty; it is not a claim that the workflow does not exist.

Open gaps
Triage and routing
NO_OBSERVED_DEMAND_SIGNAL · 0 observed demand slots · 31 candidate repositories.
NOT_SEARCHED. Exact P03 workflow/support/project kinds; a product README alone is not semantic coverage.
Classification and prioritization
NO_OBSERVED_DEMAND_SIGNAL · 0 observed demand slots · 39 candidate repositories.
NOT_SEARCHED. Exact P03 CRM/analytics/search candidates are adjacent supply, not proof of a classifier workflow.
Scheduling and coordination
NO_OBSERVED_DEMAND_SIGNAL · 0 observed demand slots · 14 candidate repositories.
NOT_SEARCHED. Exact P03 scheduling kind only; calendar UI alone is not a booking/authority proof.
Reporting and digest
NO_OBSERVED_DEMAND_SIGNAL · 0 observed demand slots · 15 candidate repositories.
NOT_SEARCHED. Exact P03 analytics kind; a reporting surface is not a measured client outcome.
Monitoring and alerts
NO_OBSERVED_DEMAND_SIGNAL · 0 observed demand slots · 0 candidate repositories.
NOT_SEARCHED. No dedicated P03 capability kind is mapped; analytics is not silently promoted to monitoring.
Sync and browser operations
NO_OBSERVED_DEMAND_SIGNAL · 0 observed demand slots · 1 candidate repositories.
NOT_SEARCHED. Connector candidates cover a possible sync seam; no direct P03 browser-operation kind is available.
Safe-pilot boundary
Rationale
Metadata-only, synthetic intake supports evidence-boundary testing while preserving privilege and lawyer approval.
Falsifier
A held-out conflict/document fixture cannot preserve privilege and version identity, or any outcome depends on legal judgment or external filing.
