    Stumbled upon this podcast and it is a treasure. As a KM manager at a firm, previous law librarian, this podcast is engaging, relevant, and makes me nod my head while also giving me perspective on what is going on in the legal realm outside my organization. Def worth listening to if you have any sort of interest in legal tech!

Q: What motivated Covalent to pivot from ClaimScore to a broader data-science platform for complex litigation?
The team realized that fraud and class-action administration require scalable, real-time data analysis across many data sources, not a single-use fraud score.
