A two-person boutique law firm uses Claude to handle the workload of over a dozen associates.

This isn't theory, it's a daily workflow — and the conclusion: general-purpose AI crushes all legal vertical AI products.

Includes a three-question risk assessment framework for evaluating your SaaS holdings.
