The premise
Litigation budgets are based on too few comparables to forecast manually; AI synthesis across firm history produces better forecasts.
What AI does well here
- Forecast budgets using historical similar-matter data (case type, jurisdiction, opposing counsel, complexity)
- Identify budget-line variances early enough to discuss with client
- Generate the client-facing budget variance explanation when overruns occur
- Surface the matter-specific factors driving variance from baseline forecast
What AI cannot do
- Predict the unpredictable (settlement opportunities, opposing counsel's strategy shifts, court scheduling chaos)
- Substitute for partner judgment about where cost discipline is appropriate
- Replace the client conversation about budget changes
