A question about a one-attorney firm named Clio, 8am MyCase and PracticePanther in each of its three answers. The mid-size litigation question about leaving on-premise software also named Clio and PracticePanther three times each, but 8am MyCase appeared once. Filevine appeared in all three of those litigation answers.
The full list is alphabetical and includes ten vendors with no observed names. Multiple vendors may occur in one answer, so summing rows would not count distinct answers. The matching procedure identifies names; it does not assess legal obligations, trust-account handling, confidentiality controls or implementation quality.
Every figure comes from the published method, v1.1.
What this means for you
Reasoned. Separate discovering a possible supplier from checking how your firm would use it. A one-attorney practice and a litigation firm migrating existing records have different questions in this bank. Read the one that describes your decision, including the conditions surrounding each named product.
For any claim about a firm's required operation, ask for the applicable product source and edition. Retain the exact passage alongside the AI answer. A high naming count provides no substitute for reviewing the controls or terms your firm needs.
When reporting these results, preserve the difference between unaided names and comparisons that already contain a brand. A Clio-versus-MyCase prompt introduces both identities before the answer begins. Its observations belong in the panel, but should remain identifiable when someone asks how a shortlist was formed.
