Case Study: Leading Transportation Company achieves 60% document reduction and $100K review savings to meet DOT subpoena deadlines with DISCO

DISCO’s AI workflows and Managed Review made a tight deadline possible and saved over $100,000 in review costs

Leading Transportation Company faced a time-sensitive Department of Transportation subpoena with more than 250,000 collected documents, complex responsiveness rules and data segregation requirements. To meet the tight deadline without overproducing or sacrificing accuracy, the company engaged DISCO, leveraging DISCO Ediscovery, DISCO AI and DISCO Review to manage collection, culling and a managed review workflow.

DISCO used ECA and powerful search filters to reduce the review population to 101,000 (about a 60% reduction), then applied DISCO AI prioritization and a 10‑person DISCO Review team over just six weeks. The results: DISCO identified 96% of responsive documents while reviewing only 40% of the collected population, averaged 74 docs/hour (34% faster than industry standard) with peaks of 200/hr, achieved 92% agreement between reviewers and DISCO AI (overturns <5%), and saved the customer more than $100,000 versus traditional linear review.
