Case Study: Balfour Beatty saves an average of $60K per internal investigation with Reveal

How Balfour Beatty used Reveal to Save an Average of $60k per Internal Investigation

Balfour Beatty faced lengthy, expensive internal investigations that relied heavily on outside counsel and incurred eDiscovery processing, hosting, and project-management costs ranging from $20K to over $100K per matter. To address slow turnarounds and difficulty finding relevant data (including geographic locations and sentiment), Balfour Beatty turned to Reveal and its AI-powered eDiscovery platform.

Reveal implemented unsupervised machine learning, data analytics filters (by date and custodian), sentiment analysis, the “Find Similar Concepts” feature, and AI tags/classifiers to surface responsive documents and enable quick review sessions with in-house counsel. As a result, Reveal helped Balfour Beatty self-perform investigations in hours or days instead of weeks, cut average investigation costs by $60k, saved about 1.5 weeks per matter, and significantly reduced reliance on outside counsel.
