Field notes
The proposed workflow starts with a written assessment for the estate and counsel, then moves through record classification and exclusions before remaining data is sent to an independent de-identification agent. The page says the estate and its counsel control decisions and describes fees as agreed with the estate and disclosed to the court. Its process outline still labels inventory and classification as pending confirmation.
