AI-Driven Document Review Leads to Case Dismissal - FTI Consulting

You bought the AI tool. Your team never opened it. $200/month, gone.

That's not stupidity. That's what happens when the solution doesn't match an actual problem you have right now.

Here's what a real AI win looks like. An Australian law firm had 10,000 documents land on their desk two weeks before trial. Impossible task. They used AI to classify and review every single one — and it led to a case dismissal. Not magic. Just the right tool matched to a specific, urgent problem.

That's the pattern worth noticing. AI didn't replace anyone. It handled the volume no human team could touch in time. The firm still ran the case. AI just cleared the bottleneck.

Most business owners try to find an AI strategy. What actually works is finding your bottleneck first, then asking whether AI can clear it faster.

Start there. Write down the one task in your business that eats the most time but doesn't require your judgment. That's your first AI candidate. Not a platform. Not a transformation. One task.

What's the biggest document, data, or reporting task your team dreads every week?
