02 Three doors, one pipeline

However a lead reaches you,
it's caught.

Website form, direct email, or a call that rings out. Three doors, one pipeline, nothing slips.

Your website form

The highest-intent moment a prospect has. Captured structured, from the first keystroke.

How it works

Straight to your inbox

Read at 2am, answered in minutes. The original never leaves your inbox.

How it works

The missed call

Rings out? The caller gets your booking link before they dial the next firm.

How it works

And all of it lands in the inbox your team already uses. No new software, no training, no change to how you work.

03 Nothing to do, everything done

Every part of intake,
done before anyone asks

Captured at the source

Web form, connected inbox, or a missed call. The moment an enquiry lands, it enters the workflow. Nobody has to forward anything.

Classified and scored

Practice area, urgency, and a 1 to 10 score, applied the same way to every enquiry. Consistent at 2pm and at 2am.

ImmigrationUrgency: HighScore 9/10

Conflict parties, extracted

Names and organisations pulled out for your conflict check to screen. Your process stays the source of truth.

Acknowledged in minutes

Every prospect gets a professional reply with your booking link while the enquiry is still warm.

Routed to the right person

Each matter reaches the owner you chose for that practice area, with the brief attached.

One tracker. Full history

Every enquiry logged with its score, owner, status, and next action, in Excel, Google Sheets, or your CRM. Follow-ups flagged before leads go cold.

The week, on one page

A partner report every Monday: new leads, urgent matters, follow-ups due. No chasing.

04 The journey

5 steps
No waiting room

1. An enquiry arrives.

Website form or inbox, 2pm or 2am. The clock that matters starts now.

2. It is captured, whole.

Name, matter, urgency, contact details. Nothing sits unread and nothing gets retyped.

3. Scored and routed.

Practice area, urgency, and a 1 to 10 score. The brief lands with the right owner, conflict parties listed for review.

4. The prospect hears back.

A professional acknowledgement with your booking link, sent in minutes. Most firms take days.

5. Logged and reported.

A row in your tracker, a follow-up flag at 24 hours, and a line in Monday's partner report. Your team decides what happens next. Always.

05 Monday morning

07 Privilege doesn't expire

A firm is handed down.
Its files must follow.

What a client entrusts to you binds you for life, sometimes beyond. That deserves better than software that will be replaced three times along the way. We built retention for 20 years from day one, and made every guarantee checkable. Not a promise: a proof.

See the full engineering behind it

A file entrusted to you in 2026Drag through the years. Watch what refuses to change.
2026

Sealed the day it arrives. Every action after it, signed.

Quantum computers keep advancing. Your files are already a generation ahead.

The partner who opened the file has retired. The proof of every action has not moved.

Your practice software has changed three times. The seal has not changed once.

Twenty years on: still unreadable to outsiders, still provable to you.

Unreadable to outsiders History intact Provable on demand

The only thing that changes is the year.

08 Under the bonnet

A whole platform
runs underneath

Your pilot lives in your inbox and your spreadsheet, nothing to install. But behind it sits a complete practice system, built and waiting: pipeline, client portal, reporting, and 7 more modules you switch on one at a time, when they earn their place.

09 Your options

Your options, priced honestly

The full picture, side by side. What each route really costs, and where the fees quietly leak.

Keep intake as it is

Free on paper, until you count the enquiries that quietly went cold. Two-thirds of firms never reply to an email enquiry at all.

£0 on paperplus the fees that quietly leak

An intake assistant

£30k to £40k a year, plus the hiring and managing. And it still clocks off at 5.30, still takes holiday, still types every note by hand.

£30,000 to £40,000 a yearoffice hours only

Clio, LEAP, or spreadsheets

Great at storing intake, blank until someone builds the triage, scoring, and reporting. Setup is the real job, and it lands on your busiest person.

10 The guarantee

Confident it won't miss
Guaranteed for all 60 days

We build intake to catch every qualifying enquiry: captured, triaged, conflict-screened for review, logged, and acknowledged within minutes. If it ever falls short across your 60-day pilot, your one-time build fee comes back in full, and we keep working at no charge until it is right.

11 By design

Boundaries first
By design

Your team reviews everything

Every brief, score, and suggested step is a draft for your team. Nothing acts on its own.

Confidential by default

Client details stay inside your firm. Enquiry data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is restricted, and nothing is shared or sold.

No legal advice. Ever

Administrative triage only. No merits assessment, no client acceptance, no engagement decisions.

No documents in a pilot

No IDs, medical records, bank records, or court papers are collected. Intake fields only.

Not used to train AI

Personal contact details are replaced with placeholders before the AI call, and enquiry data is excluded from model training by default.

12 The cost of a miss

Every slipped enquiry
has a price

A firm receiving 30 to 50 enquiries a month that lets a single convertible one slip loses a £2,500 matter. The pilot exists so that matter never slips.

1 enquiryslipping each month. Just one is enough.
£2,500in fees lost on that matter.
