2 min. readlast update: 02.12.2026

Accurate Case Summaries in Law Practice AI start with well-organized files. Proper organization saves time, improves AI outputs, and reduces verification errors. Follow these best practices to get the most reliable results.

Do’s and Don’ts of File Organization

1. Split by Provider

Do:

  • Upload documents grouped by provider (e.g., Dr. Smith, Hospital A)

  • Helps AI identify sources and avoid confusion

Don’t:

  • Mix multiple providers in a single file batch

2. Separate Bills vs Records

Do:

  • Keep bills and medical records in separate folders

  • Label clearly for easy identification

Don’t:

  • Combine bills and records in one file—AI may misclassify events

3. Label Files Clearly

Do:

  • Use descriptive filenames (e.g., “Smith_HospitalA_Bill_2026.pdf”)

  • Include date, provider, and type of document

Don’t:

  • Use generic names like “doc1.pdf” or “scan.pdf”

4. Avoid Sideways or Poor Scans

Do:

  • Ensure all scanned pages are upright and readable

  • Clear text improves AI extraction accuracy

Don’t:

  • Upload rotated, blurry, or partial scans

5. Ensure Completeness

Do:

  • Include all relevant records for a case

  • Check for missing bills, treatment notes, or provider summaries

Don’t:

  • Assume AI can fill in gaps automatically

File Upload Tips

  • Preview files before uploading

  • Organize in folders matching case summary categories

  • Remove duplicates and irrelevant documents

  • Check file format compatibility: PDF, DOCX, TXT, image scans

Final Tip

Well-organized files = better AI accuracy.
Following these best practices reduces errors, saves time, and produces clean, structured case summaries.
Always review outputs after upload to confirm chronology and completeness.
