FTI Technology: AI-Driven Document Review Achieves 96% Accuracy Under Two-Week Trial Timeline

FTI Consulting published a case study this week on its IQ.AI platform achieving a 96% accuracy rate for document categorisation in a complex commercial dispute, enabling a legal team to validate its litigation position and prepare for trial under a compressed two-week timeline — a matter that would have been unmanageable under conventional document review timelines. The case study represents the current performance benchmark for AI-assisted document review at the enterprise end of the market. For mid-sized litigation practices, the data point matters in two directions: first, it establishes that AI document review at 96% accuracy is operationally deployable in high-stakes matters with compressed timelines; second, it sets the client expectation benchmark — a corporate client that has seen this case study will arrive at the next litigation engagement expecting AI-assisted throughput, not weeks of associate document review time. Mid-sized litigation firms without a documented AI document review capability are now explicitly behind the market benchmark, not merely behind the frontier.
