The intake desk, examined.

Sourced arithmetic, compliance analysis, and honest buying guides — written by the people who build the systems, for the partners who answer for them.

Sources we cite

Every statistic published on this site traces to one of the following, and we retire any figure we can no longer verify:

  • Law-firm intake research, 2025–2026 — unanswered-call rates (~35%) and the cost of missed calls to multi-attorney firms ($200K+/yr)
  • Legal consumer research — first-responder retention (~78% of injured callers hire the first firm that responds)
  • Harvard Business Review, “The Short Life of Online Sales Leads” — 5-minute response ≈ 21× conversion likelihood
  • MIT NANDA, “The GenAI Divide: State of AI in Business” (2025) — specialist-built AI reaches production ~67% of the time vs. ~⅓ for in-house builds

Industry-level figures are estimates by nature; the intake audit replaces them with your firm’s measured numbers.
