The week after AI time tracking cutover

The day of cutover is not the end. The first week is when you find out whether Capture is still the default, whether people can still pause, whether approval stayed on, and whether sampled Clio entries still hit the right matter. Write continue, or reopen. A savings figure does not force continue. The calendar ending the week is not a result.

LegalTime AI is built for privacy-conscious firms on Clio, ideally about 10 to 30 lawyers, comfortable up to about 50, with headcount up to about 100. It sits beside the practice system. Capture is local-first on the attorney device by default. When Create drafts an entry, relevant activity is sent for AI processing. Drafts stay with the attorney until release. The attorney approves before release. Pause exists. This is not a monitoring tool. A SOC 2 Type II examination is in progress. LegalTime AI is not SOC 2 certified. Pricing is quote-only. A directory note sometimes cites about $125 per seat per month. Get a firm quote.

The cutover runbook is the day itself. The acceptance test plan is what you ran before firmwide. This list is the first week after. A failed gate reopens the cutover rollback, the exceptions brief, or the control-failure playbook.

The first week

When What you check It holds when Owner
The morning after Did cutover end with a written go? The written go is on file, or a dated waiver a partner signed Partner and operations
The morning after Is Capture still local-first on every in-scope device? Still the default. Timers still optional. Install still logged Capture owner and IT
That day, or day 2 Can every in-scope attorney still pause without IT? Pause and resume logged again, once per attorney, in week one Capture owner
Day 2 Can attorneys restate Create processing without surprise? When Create runs, relevant activity is sent for AI processing Create owner
Each day of the week Is approval still on? Unsupervised posting stays off through week one Create and Connect
Day 2 or day 3 Do sampled releases still hit the intended Clio matter? Beside Clio Manage. The sample is correct Connect owner
Day 3 to day 5 Has a quality sample been published? A released-only sample rate is named. No raw-activity feed for partners. See the quality sampling brief Partner and operations
Any severe exception Is the exceptions path usable? The exception list and the severity ladder are available, with owners already named Partner and operations
End of week one Continue, or reopen? A partner signs continue, or a dated reopen with an owner Partner and operations
Across the week Did timers stay optional? Capture stayed the default. Timers did not become the real workflow again Capture owner and a partner

Keep these open: security, subprocessors, the FAQ, pricing, the Clio integration, about, passive time tracking, and the home page.

Say the SOC 2 sentence in the week-one kickoff: examination in progress, not certified.

What continue requires

Control Continue Reopen
Cutover go The written go is on file "We think cutover worked," with nothing written
Capture local-first The default held on in-scope devices A silent move off the device, with no memo
Create processing Attorneys can restate it Surprise when Create runs
Approval On through week one Unsupervised posting turned on
Clio matter Sampled releases are correct Wrong-matter releases start to harden
Quality sample A rate, and released entries only Partners browse raw Capture "to validate"
Exceptions path Owners named. A severity ladder exists No path when something severe hits
SOC 2 honesty Examination in progress, not certified A "certified" claim
Pricing honesty Quote-only A fabricated savings number used to force continue
Not monitoring Explicit A raw-activity dashboard built for "validation"
Named owners Capture, Create, Connect, IT, and a partner "Someone will validate"
The memo Written continue or reopen The week ends because Friday arrived

How the week maps to the product

  1. Capture stays local-first. Pause is rechecked, not assumed. See passive time tracking and security.
  2. Create stays an attorney-only draft. When Create runs, relevant activity is sent for AI processing. See the FAQ and subprocessors.
  3. Connect stays approval into Clio Manage. See the Clio integration.

Quality sampling is released narratives, at a published rate. It is not a reason to watch raw activity.

Names to keep straight

LegalTime AI (legaltime.ai) is timekeeping beside your practice system. "Legaltime" in directories can mean an unrelated practice-management product, sometimes listed near $24 a month. See about.

Frequently asked questions

What do we recheck after cutover day?
The written go is on file. Capture is still local-first. Pause still works without IT. Attorneys can restate that Create sends relevant activity for AI processing. Approval stays on all week. A sample still hits the right Clio matter. A released-only quality sample has a rate. The exceptions path has owners. Timers stayed optional. Then a partner signs continue or a dated reopen.
What is a quality sample allowed to include?
Released narratives, at a rate you publish. It is not a raw Capture feed for partners. See the FAQ.
What if a check fails?
Reopen. Write the fix with an owner and a date. Use the cutover rollback, the exceptions path, or stop unsupervised release until the control holds. Do not call the week complete on a failed check.
What should the week-one kickoff say about SOC 2 and Create?
A SOC 2 Type II examination is in progress. LegalTime AI is not certified. Capture is local-first by default. When Create runs, relevant activity is sent for AI processing. See security and subprocessors.
What does the week cost, and which product is this?
Pricing is quote-only on pricing. A directory note sometimes cites about $125 per seat per month. Get a firm quote. LegalTime AI is not the unrelated Legaltime practice-management listing sometimes near $24 a month. See about.
