Calculation Methodology

expand_more

Invoice savings rate (14.2%)

Research from the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) and the Corporate Legal Operations Consortium (CLOC) consistently finds that 10–25% of outside counsel invoices contain billing errors, duplicate charges, or non-compliant entries. We use a 14.2% detection rate based on aggregated AI-assisted review data. Your net savings equals the 14.2% detection rate minus what you already recover manually.

Time reduction (80%)

AI-powered invoice review reduces manual review time by approximately 80%. We estimate that CounselAudit reduces average review time to about 15 minutes per invoice by automatically flagging issues, so your team focuses only on decisions rather than line-by-line scanning.

Subscription cost assumption

We assume the Professional plan at $199 per seat per month with 2 seats, totaling $4,776 per year. Actual costs may vary based on plan selection and team size. Annual prepay offers a 15% discount.

ROI formula

ROI = (Total Annual Value - Subscription Cost) / Subscription Cost x 100
