Case Study: Fortune 200 Domestic Pharmaceutical Company Saves $4 Million with Consilio LLC Search Term Optimization

Search Term Optimization Delivers $4 Million Savings

Fortune 200 Domestic Pharmaceutical Company faced potentially expensive, disproportionate document review costs in high-profile litigation involving more than 20 million collected documents. Working with Consilio LLC, the company needed a defensible way to reduce review volumes while maintaining quality and compliance, using Consilio Analytics Consulting.

Consilio LLC implemented statistical analysis and optimization of plaintiff-provided search terms, along with statistically defensible sampling and documentation to support meet-and-confer discussions. The result was $4 million in savings from a $40,000 investment, a 60% reduction in documents requiring human review, and a 97% recall rate while doubling precision.
