Client updates
Preparing a draft client update from defined matter information, with checks on source support, certainty and the intended message.
PRENDOCO WORKFLOW PROOF SPRINT
Improve one recurring legal task with the AI your team already uses.
A paid, two-week engagement for small legal teams already using approved AI tools.
We examine your current process, develop and test a structured working method, and help your team decide whether the change is worth keeping. Your lawyers retain legal judgement and approval throughout.
One recurring task · Up to three users · Approximately two weeks
The first AI output is only part of the work.
An AI-assisted draft may arrive quickly. Checking its sources, correcting the wording and preserving the intended position can still take considerable time.
Different people may approach the same task differently. Review may be repeated. Corrections may introduce further changes. The team may struggle to establish whether AI is improving the whole process.
The Workflow Proof Sprint examines one task from beginning to end, including the human work required to prepare, check, correct and approve it.
A Sprint may be useful when:
- Repeated checking absorbs much of the expected time saving.
- Different users produce inconsistent work with the same AI tool.
- Sources, instructions or review responsibilities are unclear.
- Wording changes affect certainty, meaning or the intended position.
- Your team wants evidence before adopting a shared working method.
For teams with a specific task worth improving.
The Sprint is designed for small law firms, legal teams and practice groups already using an approved AI tool.
A suitable starting point has:
- A recurring task with an identifiable problem.
- A lawyer who owns the process and its legal decisions.
- Up to three users available to participate.
- Suitable examples that can be used within agreed information boundaries.
- A willingness to test the method and review the findings.
You do not need to redesign your whole practice. We begin with one bounded task.
Start with work your team already does.
The fit conversation establishes whether your task is suitable. Examples include:
Meeting notes to client actions
Turning meeting notes into a draft action summary or email, with verification of decisions, responsibilities and unresolved points.
Cross-border communication
Drafting or reviewing recurring English-language communications while preserving the lawyer’s intended legal and commercial position.
Document comparison
Preparing a comparison of defined documents or clauses, with source references and lawyer review of identified changes.
Your lawyers define the substantive positions and approve the work. Prendoco designs and tests the process around AI use.
A practical sequence over two weeks.
Establish the baseline
We examine the current task: inputs, tools, participants, handoffs, checking and corrections. We agree what would count as a worthwhile improvement.
Develop the working method
We define the AI’s permitted role, prepare instructions and supporting templates, and establish the relevant human checks, escalation and approval steps.
Test agreed examples
We test representative examples, record problems and refine the method. We assess the whole task, including review and rework.
Practise with the users
The participating users try the workflow. We observe whether it is understandable, practical and suitable for their work.
Review and hand over
You receive the working guide and findings. Together with the legal owner, we assess whether to retain, change or stop the proposed method.
The engagement runs over approximately two calendar weeks from an agreed start, once the necessary inputs, permissions and participants are available.
A working method and evidence to assess it.
- A concise map of the current task.
- A defined AI-assisted workflow with human responsibilities.
- Task-specific instructions and supporting templates.
- Relevant source, review, correction and escalation controls.
- A record of testing, findings and limitations.
- Guided practice for up to three users.
- A concise working guide.
- A handover discussion covering what improved, what did not and the next decision.
The Sprint gives your team a bounded opportunity to assess a change before committing to wider implementation.
Discuss your taskMeasure the whole task.
We agree the primary measure and the required standard of work before testing.
Depending on the task, we may examine:
- Total human time, including preparation, checking and corrections.
- Review and rework cycles.
- Outputs requiring material correction.
- Escalations and unresolved issues.
- Whether users can follow the method in practice.
The findings explain the examples tested, the conditions and the limitations. A faster output is useful only if the required standard is preserved.
The Sprint does not guarantee time savings. A finding that the method needs changing—or should not be adopted—is also a useful result.
Your approved tools. Your lawyers’ judgement.
Prendoco starts with your task and existing approved AI environment. Tool suitability, permissions and information-handling arrangements are confirmed before work begins.
Legal-AI providers may already offer relevant implementation support. The fit conversation considers what help you have available and whether an independent engagement adds value.
Your lawyers remain responsible for substantive legal judgement and approval. Prendoco provides workflow design and implementation support; it does not provide legal advice or certify legal correctness or regulatory compliance.
Supported by the Prendoco approach.
The Sprint brings together workflow diagnosis, design, testing and practical competence development.
The Prendoco Workflow Playbooks provide supporting principles and examples. Workflow Studio is an evolving prototype that may support structured testing and records where appropriate.
You do not need to purchase a Playbook or adopt Workflow Studio to commission a Sprint.

The Sprint is a paid engagement covering one recurring task and up to three users.
Following the fit conversation, you receive a written proposal confirming the task, deliverables, participants, timing, fee and payment terms.
Additional workflows, users, integrations or wider implementation are scoped separately.
Discuss your taskYour questions, answered.
Do we need a new AI subscription?
The starting point is your existing approved tool. We confirm whether it can support the proposed task. Software licences are not included in the Sprint.
Do we need to buy an orientation session first?
No. We begin with a short fit conversation. A separate orientation may be useful in some circumstances, but it is not a compulsory step before the Sprint.
How much time will our team need?
Your legal owner and participating users need to explain the current process, provide suitable examples, participate in testing and review the findings. The expected involvement is agreed in the proposal.
Can we use confidential client material?
Information-handling arrangements must be agreed before material is shared or used. Do not submit client documents through the contact page. We first establish the appropriate environment, permissions and boundaries.
Is the Sprint training or implementation?
It combines practical implementation with guided user practice. The engagement produces a working method and findings for one task.
What happens if the workflow does not improve the task?
We explain the result, limitations and reasons. The legal owner can decide whether to change the approach or stop. Improvement is tested rather than guaranteed.
What happens after the Sprint?
Your team can retain the working method where appropriate. If further implementation or support would be useful, it is discussed and scoped separately.
Which recurring task would you like to improve?
Tell us what your team currently does, which AI tool it uses, and where checking, corrections or inconsistency create difficulty.
We can arrange a 30-minute conversation to assess whether a Workflow Proof Sprint is a useful fit.
