AI-guided client discovery
A real conversational intake. Each answer informs the next factual question, so the flow probes the matter rather than marching through a static form.
Sanctum Lex Discovery · Standalone intake product
Sanctum Lex Discovery conducts an AI-guided pre-consultation on the firm’s behalf. It listens to each answer, asks the next useful factual question, collects PDFs and supporting documents at the end, and prepares a lawyer-ready matter brief before the consultation begins.
The complete pre-engagement operating system, not the Sanctum Lex Enterprise platform. Discovery is built for the entire pre-engagement stage: AI intake, qualification context, document collection, readiness, pipeline, consultation preparation and follow-up. It does not include the Enterprise matter workspace, Firm Knowledge, Adversarial Review, Hearing Room, Witness Room or private enterprise deployment.
Includes 250 completed Discovery sessions per month. Sanctum Lex Enterprise customers receive Client Discovery within their deployment.
Why we built Discovery
People increasingly arrive at law firms after using general AI to explain their situation, organise their thoughts or ask what they should do next. Some even forward the conversation to their lawyer.
We built Sanctum Lex Discovery so the firm can own that first intelligent interaction. Instead of a client discussing a sensitive legal problem with a generic public assistant and then sending the transcript later, the firm gives them a purpose-built Discovery link that asks factual follow-ups inside the firm’s chosen intake process.
Not another intake form.
A static form asks the same questions regardless of the answer. Discovery asks one question, reads the response, decides what still needs clarifying, and asks the next question. When the factual conversation is developed enough for first review, it moves the client to the final PDF and document-upload stage.
And the AI does not stop when the client submits. Discovery turns the completed intake into an AI Consultation Prep for the lawyer: what to ask first, what facts and dates need verification, which documents are missing and which parts of the account remain ambiguous.
One complete intake product
Discovery is deliberately narrow, but it is not a form builder. It replaces the generic first-pass AI conversation with a firm-controlled intake that knows when to probe a date, identify another party, clarify a decision, ask what has already been done and surface the documents the lawyer should see.
A real conversational intake. Each answer informs the next factual question, so the flow probes the matter rather than marching through a static form.
Once the guided conversation is complete, the client uploads the decisions, contracts, letters, PDFs and correspondence the lawyer should review.
Key facts, chronology, parties, documents, missing information and client questions arrive in one review-ready brief.
After submission, Discovery prepares the lawyer for the first call with priority questions, facts to verify, document gaps and ambiguities to resolve.
Discovery gathers and organises information. It does not tell the client the firm has accepted the matter or replace lawyer review.
Your firm chooses the practice areas, welcome message and additional questions shown in its own Discovery flow.
A completed Discovery can become the starting record for a matter when the firm later deploys Sanctum Lex Enterprise.
How it works
The lawyer still owns legal judgment. Discovery makes sure the basic factual record is waiting before that judgment begins.
Add the firm's branded Sanctum Lex Discovery link to your website, email signature or enquiry response.
The client explains the matter in their own words. Discovery reads each answer and asks the next useful factual question instead of following a fixed questionnaire.
At the end of the conversation, the client uploads PDFs, decisions, contracts, letters and other relevant documents.
The firm receives the structured facts, chronology, client questions and document list by email and inside the Discovery workspace.
Everything before engagement
AI questioning, multilingual intake, document requests, contradictions, entities and Matter Readiness.
Structured briefs, Consultation Prep, secure factual follow-up and the complete client-supplied record.
Lead pipeline, routing, source attribution, analytics, notifications and consultation handoff.
Discovery versus Enterprise
Discovery is an immediate self-serve AI intake product. Sanctum Lex Enterprise is the firm-wide legal intelligence platform, provisioned and configured for the institution.

Start immediately
After checkout, create your Discovery account, add the firm’s branding and notification email, choose the practice areas you accept and copy your client link. The AI then conducts each Discovery conversation for the firm and hands the completed brief back to your team. Stripe shows the applicable recurring amount and billing currency before payment.
Discovery gathers and organises information for professional review. It does not provide legal advice, confirm engagement or replace conflict and onboarding procedures.
