A

CaseMark maintains strict confidentiality protections throughout the summary generation process. The system identifies privileged communications and work product, clearly marking sensitive sections and allowing you to create tiered versions for different audiences. All processing occurs securely, and you retain full control over what information is included in client-facing versus internal reports.

A

CaseMark handles any complex legal matter requiring project management, including multi-phase litigation, corporate transactions, regulatory compliance initiatives, internal investigations, and multi-party negotiations.

Q

Can I customize the summary format for different stakeholders?

A

Yes, CaseMark allows you to adjust detail levels and focus areas based on your audience. You can generate executive summaries for clients emphasizing business impact, detailed internal reports for team coordination, or board-level updates highlighting strategic considerations. The system supports multiple output versions from a single set of project documents.

Q

How does the budget tracking and variance analysis work?

A

CaseMark analyzes your budget documentation to compare original allocations against current expenditures and projected costs to completion.

You receive clear explanations of spending patterns and can include mitigation strategies in your summary for proactive budget management.

Q

What happens if my project documents are incomplete or missing information?

A

CaseMark works with whatever documentation you provide and clearly indicates which sections are based on available information versus areas requiring manual input. The system prompts you for critical missing details and allows you to supplement the AI-generated summary with additional context. This ensures your final report is comprehensive even when source materials are incomplete.
