CLOC Compass turns legal-ops maturity into an interactive build map

CLOC launched Compass with Neota Logic as a beta application that lets members assess maturity across the Core 12 functional areas and prioritize next steps. CLOC tied the launch to its 2026 State of the Industry finding that demand is surging while budgets lag and headcount remains flat, with 80% of legal departments citing technology strategy as a top priority. This is legal engineering in institutional form: the work is shifting from buying tools to mapping capability gaps, sequencing automation and proving the maturity case to the business.
