Frequently asked questions

Q

What information do I need to provide to generate a past performance questionnaire?

A

You'll need basic engagement or contract details describing the legal services being evaluated. CaseMark will use this information to customize the questionnaire's scope, performance criteria, and evaluation framework. Optional documents like prior performance records or regulatory guidelines can further refine the output to match your specific requirements.

Are the questionnaires compliant with government contract regulations?

A

Yes, CaseMark generates questionnaires that align with standard regulatory and professional requirements for performance evaluations. The tool incorporates best practices from bar associations, procurement standards, and legal compliance frameworks.
