Breach of Contract & Fraud — Demand Case Study
How a plaintiff's team built a pre-litigation demand from a 22-document record, with every damages figure reconciled to source before transmittal.
Outcome Snapshot
Full pre-litigation demand workflow. 22 documents. Every number reconciled.
A plaintiff's litigation team preparing a pre-suit demand on a breach-of-contract and fraud matter faced a record of invoices, field reports, and damages backup. Using Inquisita, they ingested the full pre-demand record, reconciled every damages figure against source, mapped each factual assertion to its supporting document, and drafted the demand. The process caught an overstated damages line before opposing counsel ever saw it.
How it was done — 4-step workflow
Ingest the pre-demand record
Inquisita indexed the full set of invoices, work orders, field reports, expert evaluations, and damages backup into a single matter, organized by category so every figure traced to a source document.
22 documents — full record indexedReconcile damages against source
Each damages line was extracted per document and tested: line items summed against stated totals, charges checked for the wrong asset or matter, duplicates flagged. One invoice line overstated the loss and was reconciled down before drafting.
1 overstatement caught — $13,600 → $8,550Map each assertion to evidence
Every material assertion the demand would make was tied to the document that proved it and graded for support strength. Anything that read as inferential or unsupported was softened, attributed, or cut.
0 unsupported assertions in the letterDraft the demand package
With figures verified, Inquisita drafted the demand on firm letterhead, an internal source-citation memo auditing every number and assertion, and a client clarification letter raising the discrepancy, all ready for partner review.
