records throughput per paralegal, after rebuild
The firm had three paralegals drowning in records, bills, and lien follow-up. Demand packets were going out 6–11 weeks late, and one missed Medicare lien had cost the firm $42,000 in a recent settlement. The owner could feel the revenue leaking through the records pipeline but couldn't slow down long enough to fix it.
- Records request → response time cut from 47 days to 14 days on average
- Lien tracker caught $184,000 in unresolved liens across the first quarter — disbursement was blocked until each was cleared
- Paralegal throughput tripled without adding headcount
- Demand packets now ship within 14 days of treatment end, every time
We stopped eating the cost of missed liens. The disbursement guardrail paid for the whole engagement on day 71.
