CAAT works by analyzing entire documents, based on concepts versus keyword or search terms, and identifying appropriate categories and documents even if key search terms aren’t present in those documents. This technology is resistant to typographical and transcription errors, so documents can be correctly grouped and clustered despite inadvertent or even deliberate misspellings. The technology can also be applied to validate key search terms and analyze evidence in advance of discovery and the FRCP 26(f) “meet and confer” conference.
