About OBE

One case record, from intake onward.

Tim Ottowitz kept seeing firms accept an intake and then type the same information into a second system. He founded OBE so the answers, documents, corrections, and unfinished work could stay with the case record.

The starting point

Accepted intake still had to be entered again.

Bennett Legal compared $44,000 for Filevine, $21,000 for Moxo, and $22,000 for data extraction pipelines each year, for a total of $87,000. Those figures excluded staff and lawyer time. The intake-to-case handoff remained.

That experience shaped the product. The case study makes no claim about savings, speed, capacity, completeness, or legal outcomes.

How we work

A reviewer should be able to follow the record.

01

Show where each fact came from

A reviewer can open the answer or document behind an important proposed fact.

02

Work by the firm's rules

Each firm chooses the questions, expected records, review points, and people allowed to decide.

03

Leave legal judgment to lawyers

Software prepares and routes the work. Lawyers handle legal analysis and client advice.

Bring one matter type

Show us where your team has to do the work twice.

Bring the questions and records for a matter your team knows well. We will sit down with the people who handle it and trace each review point together.
