Turn non-compliant time entries into a directly billable invoice.
A multi-agent workflow that codes, splits, checks and rewrites a law firm's time-entry narratives against client billing guidelines — live in production. Below is one real run on a monthly invoice batch.
The write-downs hide in the next invoice.
Vague narratives, block billing and missing task codes trigger client audit write-downs. Reviewing every line by hand is slow, so the gap always sits in the invoice nobody has checked yet.
Block billing
Multiple activities merged into one entry — written down in full on audit.
Missing task codes
Entries lacking a valid UTBMS code, or using a non-specified one.
Five sub-agents review the batch in parallel.
Every rewrite links back to a clause.
A system that judges, falls back and retries.
Recovery makes the cost near-negligible.
Recovery (avoided write-down) and specialist labor are kept as separate measures, not multiplied. Send-back probability 38% → 6%, turnaround ≈ 8 minutes per invoice.
One workflow, many billing tasks.
Time-entry compliance review
Coding + block-billing split + guideline comparison + compliant rewrite into a billable invoice.
Invoice pre-review
Pre-review the whole batch before billing, adapting to each client's guidelines and flagging red-line hits.
Cross-client calibration
The same orchestration runs with zero confusion across guideline versions of Clients A–N.
