Your AI dispatches the work. Vendors quote in minutes.
Court reporters, records, experts, process servers, e-discovery, translation, trial graphics, mediators - dispatched from inside the AI assistant your team already uses. No portal. No phone tag. No 90s-era directory.
Free for firms. Forever. Scope takes a commission from vendors only when a quote is awarded. You see one invoice, from the vendor, at the rate they quoted.
You email your default vendor every Friday afternoon. You take whatever quote comes back. You move on. You have no idea what the market would have quoted.
Before Scope / After Scope
One vendor request. Twenty-four touchpoints, or three bids.
Same scope, two processes. The chaos on top is real. The lane below is what your team actually wants.
Before
Vendor request, the long way.
- Did the COI come in?
- Has anyone followed up?
- Did anyone email the vendor?
- Per-page or flat fee?
- Why are we paying twice?
- Who's the backup vendor?
- Where's the matter number?
- Is this the right matter?
- Where's the invoice?
- Did legal sign the MSA yet?
Twenty-four touchpoints. One scope.
After
Vendor request, the Scope way.
Deposition, 6/12, Spanish interpreter
- Vendor A$1,840Available 6/12
- Vendor B$1,720Available 6/12
- Vendor C$1,690Available 6/12
All three credentialed. Conflict check clear.
Three bids. One scope.
Every follow-up runs through the same AI assistant. You never open another portal.
After award, your AI keeps coordinating through the same Scope MCP. Reschedule. Modify scope. Add a videographer. Cancel and rebook. Status check. You stay inside the AI workflow your team already uses.
"Reschedule the Bakersfield depo to Wednesday."
"Add a videographer to the Tuesday booking."
"What's the status on the records request from last week?"
"Cancel and rebook with Vendor A instead."
Three credentialed vendors return bids inside ten minutes. You see side-by-side prices before you award, so the default-vendor markup goes away. The savings show up at year-end reconciliation, not in a marketing claim.
Lawyers bill 2.6 of 8 hours per day. The other 5.4 are admin and coordination work that doesn't show up on a time sheet (Clio 2024 Legal Trends Report). Vendor coordination is a meaningful slice of that. Scope moves the slice to your AI assistant.
Cancellation terms are part of the quote. The agency accepts when they quote. Your firm accepts at award. Refund handling runs through Stripe Connect when engagements cancel. No more email fights three months later.
"How does this not become another tool we don't use?"
Fair. Most legal-tech doesn't survive the first month at a busy litigation team. Scope is built so it doesn't need to.
There's no portal you have to log into. You dispatch from inside whatever AI assistant your firm already uses. If your team isn't using AI assistants yet, dispatch via email or your case-management system - same outcome.
There's no learning curve. You type the request the way you'd say it. Your AI handles the rest. Quotes come back from named vendors with availability and rates. You review and award.
Block list enforced. Vendors you've blocked never see your scope. Conflict parties captured at intake for vendor self-declare. Maintain a do-not-route list for vendors you've had sour history with - they're never notified, never see the scope, never appear in your quotes.
There's no behavior change required. Your existing default vendors can join Scope and quote. Or you can keep using them off-platform - their performance record still builds from your Scope-mediated engagements. The platform doesn't fight the relationships you already have.
One matter needs multiple categories. Records, IMEs, depositions, experts, e-discovery - dispatch each through your AI.
Your AI dispatches a multi-category request through Scope; the MCP returns parallel sub-scopes per category. Quotes return per category, from different agencies that cover that category. You award each independently. Your AI coordinates status across all of them. One matter file, one reputation graph, all invoices settled and routed.
Tier vendors, lock rates, screen conflicts. Promote and demote based on real performance.
Your roster is the system of record. Drag vendors between primary, backup, and excluded tiers per category. Locked rate cards travel with the tier. Conflict matrices import from your case management when the Clio integration ships (Q3 2026). Performance flags surface when a vendor's on-time slips - one click to demote.
One MCP call across every active matter.
