Get your consultants 2,000 billable hours back this year. Without hiring, without enterprise AI, without changing how your team works.
A custom RAG research system, deployed on your firm's documents, with cited answers in 8 seconds. Built for GDPR consultancies with 10-80 staff who are tired of paying senior people to do ctrl+F.
10-minute walkthrough. The math, the proof, and exactly what gets built.
Research time reduced from 20-40 minutes per query to 8 seconds. Same team, higher caseload, zero new hires.
FastAPI + Supabase pgvector + OpenAI embeddings. Production stack, not a prototype.
Your senior consultant is doing ctrl+F right now.
It's 2 PM on a Tuesday. One of your senior consultants, billing at €180/hour, is sitting in front of a 600-page PDF of EDPB guidance. They're scrolling. Looking for one paragraph about legitimate interest assessments for B2B data processing.
They'll find it in 14 minutes. They'll do that six more times today.
Meanwhile, your associate is stuck on a client DPA review because they can't remember which internal template handles joint controllership. They send a Slack message: "Does anyone remember which article covers this?" Nobody replies for two hours. They start from scratch.
The math your firm doesn't want to look at.
Four consultants. Two hours a day each spent searching documents. That's conservative.
8 hours/day across the team. 40 hours/week. 2,000 hours/year.
At your blended billable rate, that's €40,000 to €100,000 per year of capacity that generates zero client revenue.
And here's the part that hurts more: half of those searches are for questions your firm has already answered. Last year. Last month. Last Tuesday. The answer exists in your own files. Your team just can't find it fast enough, so they redo the work.
You've tried the alternatives. They don't work:
8-second cited answers from your actual documents.
What if your team could ask a question, in plain English, the way they'd ask the senior partner, and get an answer in 8 seconds?
Not a summary. Not a chatbot guess. The actual paragraph. From the actual EDPB opinion. From your actual internal template. Every time. With a one-click link to the source.
That 14-minute search becomes a 30-second confirmation. The senior consultant stops being your team's search engine. The associate stops being afraid to ask.
The work doesn't get faster. The work that doesn't need to happen disappears.
Proof, Not Promises
HeyData
German GDPR compliance-as-a-service firm. Hundreds of client accounts across the EU.
Before
- A single client query ('Does this processing activity require a DPIA under Article 35?') took a senior consultant 20-40 minutes to research with proper citations
- Consultants searched across GDPR text, EDPB guidance, national DPA rulings, and internal templates manually
- Repeat questions consumed hours every week because answers weren't findable in the firm's own files
After
- Same question, same precision, 8 seconds
- Consultant validates the citation in one click, sends the client answer
- Team handles a higher caseload with the same headcount
- System runs on their infrastructure. They own it. We maintain it.
What was built
RAG-powered research system over the full GDPR regulatory corpus, EDPB guidance documents, national DPA rulings, and internal compliance templates. FastAPI backend, Supabase/pgvector, OpenAI embeddings, citation-linked retrieval.
What Gets Built in 30 Days
Six components. One sprint. Your firm owns the result.
Proof Before You Pay
I take 50-100 of your actual documents and run the pipeline on them. 48 hours later, you get a recorded video showing real questions answered with real citations from your real documents. If retrieval quality isn't there, we don't move forward. Zero dollars spent.
You'll know exactly what you're buying before you write the check.
Hand Over a Folder, Get Back a System
PDFs, Word docs, scanned files, email exports. Whatever shape your knowledge is in. I OCR, chunk semantically, validate retrieval, and load into your vector database. Five document types in the base build. Your team doesn't lift a finger.
Your messy document library becomes a searchable knowledge system without anyone on your team doing anything.
Answers That Can't Hallucinate
Custom RAG pipeline tuned to your corpus. Semantic chunking, hybrid retrieval, reranking, citation extraction. Every answer comes with a source paragraph and a one-click link. The system cannot return an answer without a source.
Your partners can trust it because every answer is verifiable in one click. No fabricated article numbers, ever.
Looks Like Your Firm Built It
Clean, branded chat interface. Search bar, conversation history, citation panel, source preview. Hosted at research.yourfirm.com or embedded in your existing tools.
When partners see the interface, it looks like a proprietary tool your firm invested in, not a generic AI chatbot.
Your Team Actually Uses It
90-minute live session. How to phrase queries, validate citations, spot edge cases. Recorded for new hires. Plus a Slack channel with direct access to me for the first 60 days.
No adoption risk. Your team isn't left with a tool and a PDF manual. They're trained, supported, and have a direct line to the builder.
Stays Accurate Without You Thinking About It
New EDPB opinions. New national DPA guidance. New internal templates. Monthly corpus refresh, retrieval retuning, quality drift patching. Plus uptime monitoring and four hours of system tuning.
You don't manage it. You don't assign someone to keep the AI updated. It just works, month after month.
No Vendor Lock-In. Ever.
Full source code. Deployment documentation. Runs on your infrastructure or mine. If you ever want to take it in-house, the handover is designed into the engagement from day one.
The decision to stay is always a choice, never a constraint. The code is yours. The data is yours.
The Working Build Guarantee
If by day 28 you don't have a working research system answering questions on your documents with cited sources, I refund every dollar. You keep the source code delivered up to that point.
The worst case scenario is you get your money back and keep the code. There is no scenario where you're empty-handed.
Why It Can't Hallucinate
This isn't a chatbot with a regulatory prompt bolted on. The architecture is fundamentally different.
Your question gets converted into a semantic search query
The system searches your indexed document corpus (not the internet, not a general model)
A reranker scores the top results for relevance
The citation builder extracts the exact paragraph and document reference
The answer is assembled only from retrieved text, never from the model's training data
If the system can't find a relevant source, it says so. It doesn't guess. It doesn't fill in. This is retrieval, not generation.

The Cost of Not Fixing This
Option A
Hire a Paralegal
$65K - $90K/year
- Searches at human speed
- 40 hours/week cap + vacation
- 6 months to learn your templates
- Doesn't fix the problem, adds another searcher
Option B
Enterprise Legal AI
$80K - $200K/year
- Generic across all law
- Doesn't know your templates
- Doesn't know your case history
- Locks your data in their system
- 6-month enterprise sales cycle
Option C
Research Ops
$5,000 + $800/mo
- 8-second cited answers from YOUR docs
- Knows your templates from day 1
- You own the source code
- Deployed in 30 days
- Zero hallucination risk
Your team is currently burning €40,000-€100,000/year on manual document search. The system pays for itself in the first month. Every month after is pure recovered capacity.
Questions You Should Be Asking
The Working Build Guarantee
If by day 28 you don't have a working research system answering questions on your own documents with cited sources, I refund every dollar of the build fee. And you keep the source code I've delivered up to that point. I take the risk. You don't.
You'd be client #2. Here's why that's an advantage.
Founding pricing. $5,000 build + $800/month. After 5 clients, it's $10,000 + $1,500. You're getting the system at half rate because you're taking a chance on a vendor with one reference instead of five.
Full attention. I take 2 clients per month. You're not #47 in a queue. Every question gets answered the same day.
Aligned incentives. Your success becomes my second case study. The Working Build Guarantee exists because I need you to succeed as much as you do.
Every week without this system, your team spends another 40 hours scrolling through documents. 40 hours that don't bill. 40 hours your competitors who deployed this are spending on actual client work.
Book Your 15-Minute Strategy Call2 build slots per month. Founding pricing ($5,000 build + $800/month) for the first 5 clients only.
