Every practice area has its version of the file dump — the discovery set, the financial disclosure, the years of records nobody has time to read end to end. Here's what Sable does with each, on private infrastructure that never sends a page to a third-party AI. Findings come back source-linked and labeled as draft work product, for your team to verify.
[ Use case 01 ]
Family law: financial disclosure & asset review
The situation. Bank statements, tax returns, business records, and transfers spread across years and accounts — and a suspicion that the disclosure doesn't match the documents.
What Sable does. Builds a transfer-and-account timeline, maps the people, entities, and accounts that appear across the file set, and flags inconsistencies between what was declared and what the records show.
What you get back. A source-linked summary pointing to the exact statement or page behind each flag — so you decide what's worth a deposition question.
[ Use case 02 ]
Workers' comp / PI defense: claim-timeline review
The situation. Medical records, the employment file, recorded statements, and surveillance — and the answer usually lives in the sequence, not any single document.
What Sable does. Assembles a single chronology across the whole file set and surfaces contradictions between the claimant's statements and the documentary record — timing gaps, conflicting dates, records that don't line up.
What you get back. The timeline plus a list of flagged contradictions, each cited to its source, for your review.
[ Use case 03 ]
Financial fraud & embezzlement: document reconstruction
The situation. Invoices, ledgers, bank records, and email threads that have to be tied together before anyone can see the pattern.
What Sable does. Reconstructs the money movement, maps vendors and entities (including ones that appear where they shouldn't), and flags anomalies across the set.
What you get back. An entity map and a transaction timeline, every item linked back to the document it came from.
[ Use case 04 ]
Foreign-language files: translation triage before certified translation
The situation. A large file set in another language, and certified translation runs $20-$25 a page. Translating everything to find the relevant pages is the expensive way around.
What Sable does. Produces a page-by-page English working translation of the full set, preserving page numbers — so you can read it, identify the pages that actually matter, and send only those out for certified translation.
What you get back. A working English copy for triage. (Translation only — Sable doesn't recommend which pages to certify; that's your call.) On a large set, certifying the relevant pages instead of all of them is where the savings are.
[ Use case 05 ]
Criminal defense: discovery review
The situation. A discovery dump — police reports, body-cam transcripts, records, photos — landing all at once on a clock.
What Sable does. Indexes the file set (readable, unreadable, duplicate, sensitive), builds a chronology, pulls the key people and events, and flags gaps and contradictions.
What you get back. A source-linked map of what's in the set and what's worth a closer look, so your first pass takes hours instead of days.
[ Use case 06 ]
Investigators: surveillance & interview workups
The situation. Hours of recorded audio, surveillance video, and field notes that have to become something an attorney can actually use.
What Sable does. Transcribes audio with speaker labels and timestamps, breaks long footage into a timestamped event log, and assembles the findings into a draft in investigator format.
What you get back. A searchable transcript and event timeline — the eight hours condensed to the two pages that matter, labeled draft work product for your review.
[ Use case 07 ]
Criminal defense: dash cam, body cam & 911 audio transcription
The situation. DWI and criminal defense cases come with hours of dash cam footage, body cam video, and 911 call recordings. Reviewing it all takes time, and sending it to a cloud transcription service means putting case evidence on someone else's server.
What Sable does. Transcribes audio and video locally with timestamps and speaker identification — nothing leaves the server. Handles noisy field recordings, overlapping voices, and poor audio quality.
What you get back. A timestamped, line-by-line transcript you can reference in motions and depositions, with every timestamp linked to the source recording.
