Summary: Human expertise plus AI speed combine like never before to accelerate early case intelligence, narrative development, and trial prep. Introducing IQ Case Strategy.
Why This Matters Now
Legal strategy depends on contextual understanding, not just a pile of relevant documents. The critical moments in litigation (setting direction, building narratives, preparing for interviews, etc.) require actual, accurate substance about the case including themes, timelines, and facts that support your theories.
IQ Case Strategy was built to move beyond simply finding documents, toward constructing defensible, source-backed intelligence, all in service of one thing: acceleration. Time is a luxury when it comes to building your case approach.
What’s Available Today
The AI-powered expert services that form the foundation of IQ Case Strategy are available now. IQ Case Strategy Interview Prep Kits, a self-service workspace for collaborating with Lighthouse experts on deposition and witness kits, is currently in Early Availability.
Below are details on the capabilities available today:
- Expert-led document prioritization to identify key evidence early, even across massive datasets
- AI-assisted synthesis grounded in curated sources to organize evidence into themes, patterns, and fact-based insights
- Interview Prep Kits that package key documents and structured summaries for witnesses, custodians, and deposition preparation
- Rolling updates as new productions arrive, so prep can advance without waiting for complete collections or reviews
How It Works
IQ Case Strategy pairs AI-driven document prioritization and narrative-aware synthesis with structured workflows guided by Lighthouse search and linguistics experts. This is not a hands-off tool. Humans are in the loop from the start.
- Lighthouse experts use advanced linguistic modeling and search technology to pinpoint the most consequential documents across your dataset, even from within terabytes of data.
- Those curated documents then feed AI models that organize them into logical patterns, thematic summaries, and fact-based insights.
- Outputs are delivered into IQ Case Strategy, where you can review prepared materials, ask follow-up questions, and layer in your own notes and documents as the matter evolves.
For example: when a new production arrives late in the week, Lighthouse experts rapidly identify the high-impact documents, IQ Case Strategy updates the structured summaries and prep materials, and your team can start with a current, evidence-linked foundation—without restarting the workflow.

The result is technically scalable, legally sound outputs you can trust to inform strategy. All of this is delivered into IQ Case Strategy, where you can review prepared materials, ask AI follow-up questions, and layer in your own notes and documents as your matter evolves.
- Early Case Intelligence
In real client matters, we’ve seen traditional document review miss over 90% of hot documents until late in the process. IQ Case Strategy surfaces the right documents, in hours, not weeks, with no need for prior keyword culling.
Our AI models identify key facts, risk themes, communication patterns, and gaps in evidentiary coverage early enough to inform strategic decisions before positions harden. This means fewer costly missteps, faster direction-setting, and the ability to assess strengths and weaknesses when it matters most.
- Narrative & Chronology Construction
Building a defensible narrative means understanding how events unfolded, who communicated with whom, and where the evidence aligns—or doesn't.
IQ Case Strategy extracts time-based events and relationships, aligns documents into coherent timelines, and supports theory-building with evidence-linked summaries. The system doesn't just find documents; it reveals the story they tell.
- Deposition, Witness, and Trial Preparation
IQ Case Strategy generates structured Interview Prep Kits containing curated documents, synthesized factual summaries, communication and topic analysis, and AI-assisted follow-up research.
These kits evolve as new data arrives, supporting rolling preparation without forcing you to wait for complete collections. You can approve work in progress, add your own materials, and use integrated AI chat to deepen your understanding of prepared content, all within a unified workspace designed for collaboration between you and the Lighthouse team.
Why This Is Different
IQ Case Strategy is not a static report generator. It is a dynamic system, a loop of linguistic and analytical expertise and proven AI, designed to adapt with you as matters evolve without reprocessing or reinvention of workflows.
- The foundation is human expertise. Lighthouse experts curate the documents that matter.
- AI amplifies that curation, organizing and synthesizing at scale.
- Teams get structured, evolving intelligence that keeps pace with rolling productions and datasets of any size, scaling AI-driven insights that keep pace with your case demands
