CatalyticsTM, Catalyst CR's suite of analytics products, allows users to improve review speed and efficiency by analyzing and grouping documents based on their conceptual content. Catalyst is unique among electronic discovery companies in offering both front-end clustering as well as results-side clustering, specifically the ability to cluster and analyze the results of complex searches.

Catalyst's analytics offerings include:

  • Static Clustering; Provides the ability to group documents with similar concepts into review folders to speed up the review process.
  • Key Document Clustering: Provides review managers with the ability to designate key documents relevant to the matter for special clustering.
  • Spam Clustering: Allows administrators to create spam folders and to cluster spam and other irrelevant materials together to be excluded from the review process.
  • Results Side Clustering: Allows users to see the key concepts inherent in any results set and to drill down conceptually into the results set based on one or more key concepts. Use the Visual Explorer, Tag Clouds or relevance ranking to explore conceptual themes in your results set..
  • Results-Side Text Filters: Allows you to drill into results set and see information contained in your search results including email addresses, people names, places, organization names and acronyms.
  • Results-Side Field Navigators: Allows you to see names and counts of fielded information in your search result set including Author, Date, Document Type, Recipient and CC. Users can use it to narrow the results set.
