The Fall Reset: Building Momentum for What’s Next
Autumn reminds us that growth doesn’t end with the harvest — it deepens. The seeds planted months ago, the strategies carefully nurtured, and the experiments tested along the way now reveal their impact. In eDiscovery, this season mirrors that same rhythm. October and November aren’t just a countdown to year’s end — they’re a moment to gather what we’ve learned, refine what’s working, and prepare the ground for what’s next.
To help you turn reflection into action and prepare for 2026, here’s what we’re exploring this season:
Read
The Overstory by Richard Powers – If fall is about transformation, The Overstory captures it beautifully. This Pulitzer Prize-winning novel explores the interconnectedness of life through the stories of people whose lives are shaped — and changed — by trees. It’s a reminder that growth often happens slowly and invisibly, but its impact is profound. In eDiscovery, that same truth applies: the smallest decisions — the ways we collaborate, the data we preserve, the strategies we nurture — can have lasting, far-reaching effects. Reading The Overstory this season is an invitation to think more deeply about systems, relationships, and the long view.
Watch
The Social Dilemma (Netflix) – This powerful documentary explores the unseen systems shaping how we interact with technology and data — and how those systems influence everything from communication to decision-making. Much like harvesting insights in eDiscovery, understanding why and how information flows the way it does is key to anticipating risk and building better strategies. Why it fits the season: Fall is about looking beneath the surface — and this film does exactly that, peeling back the layers of our digital ecosystem and inviting deeper thought about where it’s headed.
Listen
The Ezra Klein Show – “The AI Revolution Isn’t Coming. It’s Here.”
This episode unpacks the rapid acceleration of generative AI and what it means for work, law, ethics, and human decision-making. It’s the perfect fall companion — thoughtful, future-focused, and designed to spark conversations about how we adapt. Why it fits the season: Like autumn itself, this episode is about transition — helping you prepare for the landscape that’s already changing beneath your feet.
Accelerating Insights with TAR Protocols and GenAI
As we refine our strategies and prepare for 2026, one key insight stands out: technology alone isn’t enough.
In eDiscovery, results come from pairing a defensible TAR protocol with strategic use of Generative AI.
Here is why the balance matters
