Budget your eDiscovery before it starts.
Move the sliders to see how data volume, custodians and AI-assisted review change document counts, review hours and the overall budget for your matter.
From gigabytes to a review budget.
Industry averages turn raw data into documents, culling removes duplicates and system files, and AI-assisted review in RelativityOne or Reveal trims what your attorneys need to read.
Rate assumptions
Planning estimate only, based on industry averages and the illustrative rates shown. Real document counts vary by data source. Galaxy confirms scope, pricing and turnaround in writing before any work begins.
Four levers that move an eDiscovery budget.
Most of the spend in a matter is review time. Shrinking the review set early is the single biggest saving.
Volume
Gigabytes collected set processing and hosting costs. Targeted collection keeps them down.
Custodians
Each custodian adds mailboxes, devices and duplicates. Scoping them with counsel early pays off.
Culling
De-duplication, date ranges, file-type filters and search terms routinely remove most of the data.
Review method
AI prioritization and analytics in RelativityOne and Reveal cut linear review hours.
Transparent pricing, no surprise invoices.

Estimator questions
How the numbers are calculated and what to expect from a formal quote.
How accurate is this estimate?
It uses industry averages for documents per gigabyte, typical culling rates and a reviewer pace of about 50 documents an hour. It is a planning tool; your quote is based on your actual data.
Why does AI-assisted review lower the hours?
Prioritization and analytics push likely-relevant documents to the front, so reviewers can stop reading low-value material earlier, with validation to keep the result defensible.
Can I change the rates?
Yes. Open Rate assumptions to plug in processing, hosting and review rates from your own budget or a quote we have sent you.
