The PERSUIT Platform

NOT A TOOL. YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM.

Built on a decade of pioneering data and the unwavering belief that clients value outcomes, not hours. Start with what you need. Expand when you're ready. PERSUIT integrates with your existing systems and delivers sourcing intelligence no one else can — backed by $22B+ in real proposal data. Use one capability or all five. The data layer connects them either way.

The Problem

Siloed tools create compounding blind spots.

You negotiate rates in one system. Budgets live in another. Invoices go into a third. Nobody knows what was actually agreed — so nobody can tell when things go wrong. Until they already have.

The problem isn't any individual tool. It's the gaps between them. That's where money disappears, visibility dies, and your ability to drive value collapses.

$22B+ Data
Connected. Intelligent. One shared data layer.
Rates agreed. Then forgotten.
Rates are negotiated once a year and filed in PDFs. By the next invoice, nobody's checking. Overrides happen. No one sees them.
Budgets set. Then guessed.
Static budgets set at matter open. Scope changes. WIP is invisible. Finance gets a surprise at month end. Every month.
Problems flagged after the fact.
Traditional spend management reviews invoices after the work is done. You can reject. You can dispute. But you can't unspend the money.
No data to learn from.
Disconnected systems can't give you market benchmarks. You don't know if you're overpaying. Or which firms actually perform.
How PERSUIT Works

One data layer. Five connected steps.

PERSUIT doesn't just connect tools — it orchestrates the entire lifecycle on a single intelligence layer. Rates negotiated in step two are enforced in step four. Budgets set in step three become live WIP in real time. The Data Layer isn't what happens after the workflow. It's what powers every step of it.

Active
01
Matter Intake & Routing
Structured intake, risk triage, and intelligent routing. Every matter categorised and routed — to the right firm or internal team.
Flows into → Matter type, complexity, panel eligibility — driving intelligent firm selection.
02
Sourcing
Run competitive requests with $22B+ in market intelligence behind every ask. Build curated panels. Award work based on performance and value — not inertia.
Flows into → Agreed rates, preferred firms, and panel terms — locked in for pricing.
03
Pricing & AFAs
Phased budgets. Scoped commercial terms. AFAs, rate cards, and volume thresholds set before work starts — benchmarked against real market data.
Flows into → Approved budgets and commercial terms — live from day one.
04
e-billing & Connected Outcomes
Live WIP from firm systems. Real accruals instead of guesses. Agreed rates enforced automatically. Problems caught before the invoice — not after.
Feeds back → Actual spend, firm performance, and billing patterns — enriching the intelligence layer for the next cycle.
05
Panel Management
Establish, manage, and evolve your law firm panels with data — not static lists. Track performance, enforce governance, and refresh strategically.
Connects all → Panel data flows into sourcing, pricing, and outcomes — creating a single intelligence layer for every firm relationship.
