Legal AI should start with throughput, not theatre
Craig's baseline view is that legal AI becomes valuable when it removes operational drag from case intake, triage, review, and execution. The useful question is not whether AI can perform a legal task in isolation, but whether it improves the economics of delivery for a live firm.
Litigation finance is a capability layer
Funding should be understood as infrastructure that changes which firms can scale and which claims can be pursued. In that sense, it is a strategic operating input rather than a detached capital product.
Case intake and growth now run as a product system
Demand generation on its own is no longer enough. Trust, qualification, response design, and conversion logic all sit inside the acquisition system, and those elements determine whether firms compound or stall.
- Design intake to reduce abandonment and false positives.
- Use funding and workflow data to improve qualification quality.
- Use public credibility and media coverage to build trust before a matter enters the system.
