DiscoveryIndex - Decisions, not guesswork.

About

Why we built this

Our team came from litigation support and corporate procurement. The spark was a sanctions scare after a vendor overstated processing throughput, forcing an all‑hands weekend. We realized most RFP pain started upstream—mismatched definitions and unverifiable claims. So we cataloged 312 capability fields, defined a plain‑English taxonomy, and built a verification workflow. Early pilots with consultants and legal ops managers proved what we felt: standardization beats improvisation. Today, we’re a neutral .org committed to clarity, speed, and accountability for buyers and sellers alike.

Features

What We Offer

Verified profiles that surface real constraints

Our analysts confirm critical data points through documentation and recorded attestations. Clear flags highlight conditions like surcharge thresholds or regional coverage gaps.

Standardized RFP builder with smart prompts

Guided prompts map matter specifics to required capabilities and service levels. Exports to PDF or XLS keep legal, IT, and procurement aligned without extra formatting work.

Deep comparison filters across the EDRM

Slice by region, certifications, pricing models, and integrations. Save views for different stakeholders so each team sees what matters to them immediately.

Conflict‑safe, verified buyer reviews

We anonymize sensitive details and verify buyer identity. Structured fields show what worked, what didn’t, and under what constraints decisions were made.

Case studies with measurable outcomes

Each study outlines starting position, decision factors, and quantified results. Learn how choices played out so you anticipate risks before you commit.

Demo requests that respect calendars

Vendors get the details they need to prepare; you avoid repetitive emails. Typical time to confirmed demo slot drops below four business days.

Watchlists, notes, and stakeholder sharing

Lightweight collaboration keeps momentum across departments. Permissions let legal ops curate options while procurement tracks risk and pricing commentary.

Procurement‑ready comparison exports

One‑click exports show requirements, vendor responses, and verification status. Auditable trails support approvals, audits, and post‑matter retrospectives.

Process

How It Works

1

Define scope and constraints

Answer guided prompts about custodians, data types, volumes, and deadlines. In 10–15 minutes, you create a clear profile and get tailored filters that remove noise.

2

Build a defensible shortlist

Apply filters across verified profiles and save 4–8 contenders. Within 24–48 hours, you’ll have apples‑to‑apples comparisons and a calmer internal discussion.

3

Request proposals and demos

Send standardized RFPs and demo requests with context and availability. Most teams see confirmed demos within 3–4 business days and better‑prepared vendor conversations.

4

Decide with documented evidence

Export a procurement‑ready pack with verification status and rationale. In about a week, stakeholders sign off with confidence—and you sleep better.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ediscoverytech.org free for buyers?

Yes. Buyers can search, filter, request demos, and export comparisons at no cost. We monetize through vendor listings and premium placements. That keeps incentives aligned with your need for clarity and speed.

How do you verify vendor data?

We confirm critical fields with documentation and recorded attestations and flag items we could not verify. Profiles show verification status and dates. Vendors re‑attest on a schedule so stale data is removed.

What kind of ROI should we expect?

Teams typically reclaim 30–45 hours per RFP and reach first demos in about 3–4 days. The bigger win is defensibility: standardized comparisons reduce renegotiations and approvals by 2–4 business days on average.

How do you compare to free, general directories?

General directories are broad but shallow. We focus on eDiscovery depth—throughput, limits, fees, regional coverage, and security. Our verification and exports produce audit‑friendly documentation those sites don’t provide.

Do vendors pay to appear in search results?

All profiles must pass basic verification before appearing in search. Paid tiers can improve placement and features but cannot bypass verification. This keeps results useful for buyers and fair for vendors.

Is our RFP data secure and private?

Yes. We store RFP drafts securely and only share details you include in outbound requests. You control recipients, and we purge abandoned drafts on a schedule to reduce retained data.

Is this right for small matters or tight budgets?

If you need a quick, defensible comparison, yes. It might NOT be for you if you already have a pre‑approved single vendor and the matter is immaterial, or if procurement requires a separate corporate portal.

Do you list adjacent categories like privacy or cybersecurity?

We cover 11 core categories across EDRM and adjacent areas such as archiving, privacy, and security. Depth varies by category, and we continually expand fields as buyer needs evolve.

Can we invite our preferred vendors to respond?

Absolutely. Add any vendor to your RFP distribution list. If they’re not listed, we’ll help them create a verified profile so responses stay comparable.

How are reviews moderated and conflicts handled?

We verify reviewer identity and anonymize matter details. Reviews require structured context fields and we screen for conflicts. Vendors can respond publicly, and we flag disputes with clear moderator notes.
