Questions & answers

Questions about Corporate Data Services

What is CRUNCH Data Discovery?

CRUNCH Data Discovery is the process of finding and connecting useful information inside client-provided or agreed sources. The goal is to identify records, relationships, exceptions and gaps that answer a defined question and preserve a path back to source.

Can a large document review be performed under a board, regulator or court deadline?

A review can be designed around an external deadline when the question, source set, priorities and deliverable are fixed early. Technology can help manage scale, but feasibility must be assessed per engagement.

How does technology-assisted review differ from linear review?

Linear review allocates human attention item by item. A technology-assisted workflow can build an index, classify, retrieve, extract and compare records across the corpus before directing human attention to relevant issues.

What is Corporate Data?

CRUNCH Corporate Data Services use records an organization already holds to answer a defined business, management, compliance, contract or investigation question. Sources are organized around that question and exceptions, inconsistencies and gaps are returned with traceability.

Why is enterprise data often underused?

Enterprise information is spread across systems, formats, contracts, reports and correspondence, and storage does not automatically make it usable for a decision. Splunk and Seagate/IDC provide market-level context, not measurements of a CRUNCH client.

How are Corporate Data Services different from a conventional analytics project?

The starting point is a business question, not a dashboard or dataset. Scope is built around records that can answer that question, and the output is a set of traceable findings and gaps.

What is a source-linked finding?

A source-linked finding is a finding that retains a path back to the underlying record supporting it — for example a document, clause, message or row. The point is to let the user inspect the source of truth.

RelatedHow CRUNCH Works

What does source of truth mean in document review?

The source of truth is the original record on which a statement depends: the agreement, amendment, email, report, filing or data row. A material conclusion should be checkable against the underlying record.

RelatedHow CRUNCH Works

Why can management lack answers even when the data exists?

Data availability is not data usability. Records may sit across systems, formats and owners with no fast way to connect them to the management question. Dark-data surveys are market context, not a diagnosis of a specific organization.
