Use case identification and AI strategy
The hardest part of AI strategy is deciding what not to do
Most legal functions can generate a long list of AI ideas. Far fewer can say which ones are worth funding, in what order, and what has to be true for them to work. Konexo helps you build a prioritized use case backlog, a realistic roadmap and a business case grounded in your function’s actual pressures, systems and data reality so investment follows evidence rather than enthusiasm.
What we do
Activities and focus areas
01
Discovery and Demand Analysis
We start with the work, not the tools. We map what your function actually does, volumes, effort, cycle times and friction points, so use cases are anchored in demand you can evidence rather than in what was demonstrated last month.
> demand and effort baseline by matter type > process and friction point mapping > stakeholder interviews across legal and the business > current tooling, license and spend review
02
AI Maturity Assessment
We assess where you stand across strategy, people, process, data, technology and governance, and benchmark that against comparable functions. The output is an honest starting position and a clear view of the constraints that limit what you can attempt first.
> maturity assessment across six dimensions > peer and sector benchmarking > constraint and dependency analysis > readiness gaps by dimension
03
Use Case Identification and Prioritization
We build the backlog with your team and score it. Each candidate is assessed for value, feasibility, data dependency and risk, so the sequence reflects what will actually deliver value.
> structured use case discovery workshops > value, feasibility and risk scoring > data and system dependency mapping > prioritized backlog with sequencing rationale
04
Business Case and ROI Modelling
We build the numbers your finance function needs: baseline cost, expected benefit, investment profile and the assumptions each depends on.
> baseline cost and effort model > benefit modelling with stated assumptions > investment, licensing and resourcing profile > sensitivity, payback and downside analysis
05
Target Operating Model and Sourcing
AI changes the mix of what stays in-house, what is automated and what goes to outside counsel or is outsourced. We design the future shape of the function and the sourcing decisions that follow from it.
> future-state operating model design > in-house, automated, managed and outsourced mix > role and capability implications > outside counsel and panel implications
06
Roadmap and Governance Foundations
We turn the backlog into a clear roadmap with owners, dependencies, funding checkpoints and the governance needed to keep it moving — designed to survive changes in the tooling market rather than assume it stands still.
> phased roadmap > owners, dependencies and decision gates > governance and steering structure > reassessment and reprioritization rhythm
