## The Problem

Prior art searches for Matter Billing matters take days in Elite 3E, and the attorney still has to read every hit to judge relevance.

## What We Build in Elite 3E

AI runs the search across USPTO, EPO, and Elite 3E, ranks hits by claim-overlap relevance, summarizes each, and builds the search report — attorney starts from a triaged list, not a raw dump. Purpose-built for teams running Elite 3E — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Elite 3E Integration Approach

1. **Audit your Elite 3E configuration.** We map the specific Elite 3E objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your matter billing practice.
2. **Build on the Elite 3E API or agent.** Integration happens inside Elite 3E — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Elite 3E with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
