"Maximizing Efficiency and Accuracy with BlueStar's Technology-Assisted Review (TAR) Solutions for eDiscovery"
Hey, so you may have heard about something called Technology-assisted review, also known as TAR or predictive coding. It's a way to make reviewing large amounts of electronic documents quicker and more affordable.
Basically, TAR uses computer software and AI to sort through documents and identify which ones are relevant to your case. This saves you time and money compared to manually reviewing every document.
Here's how it works. You or one of your team members would first review and label a sample of documents as relevant or not relevant to your case. Then, the computer uses this information to categorize the rest of the documents in the set. This process is known as machine learning.
So, in eDiscovery, TAR is a helpful tool to speed up the document review process and make it more cost-effective. At BlueStar, we offer TAR services as part of our eDiscovery solutions. Our team of experts and advanced software can help you save time and money by utilizing TAR to quickly and accurately identify relevant documents in your case.
