How it works
Smokeball firms already track where every minute goes. Connecting Docket Build makes the assembly hours you eliminate visible in the same reports — assembly activity is written back as a non-billable entry so partners can compare document-assembly time before and after adoption.

Smokeball specifics.
It is written as non-billable by default. Firms billing hourly RFE-response work can flip that per matter type.
