By practice structure
Deliver more petitions per drafter, in each firm's own house format.
A drafting agency's billings scale directly with petitions delivered, and its real constraint is usually not skill but memory: every client firm wants its own Bates prefix, its own cover page and its own index convention, and holding fourteen sets of conventions in seven heads is where revisions come from.

conventions as configuration
Where it hurts, and what changes
Four constraints, four answers.
Conventions live in people's heads
Fourteen client firms, fourteen index formats. A drafter moving between them makes format errors that read as carelessness.
A workspace per client firm
Each firm's Bates scheme, cover page, index convention and cover-letter template held as configuration rather than memory.
Revisions eat capacity
Format-driven revision requests consume a fifth of delivery capacity at a typical agency, and none of it is billable.
White-label delivery
Packets arrive under the client firm's branding, with their cover page and their naming convention, as if assembled in-house.
Delivery is your product
Turnaround is what firms buy. Anything that adds a day to assembly costs you the next engagement.
Separated document custody
Matter-scoped access with no cross-workspace visibility, plus a per-firm audit log you can hand to their Rule 5.3 diligence.
Document custody across clients
Client firms need assurance that their matters are separated from other firms' work, and Rule 5.3 diligence flows through them to you.
Per-petition pricing
Drafting Services bills per assembled petition with unlimited internal seats, so your cost tracks your revenue rather than your headcount.
Adoption
How firms in this segment actually start.
Most of the value shows up in the first fortnight. Nothing here requires a migration.

Deliver and reconcile
White-label packets go back with a delivery receipt that feeds your per-firm billing export.
