10 Questions Helping Legal & Compliance Teams Get From AI Spend to AI Impact

These are the questions every in-house legal and compliance team should be asking to make sure they get the most from their AI investments.

Surface the gaps between AI investment and AI results.

Most corporate legal and compliance teams are already using AI tools. The harder question is whether those tools are set up to deliver real impact – or quietly creating risks no one has addressed yet.

This 10-question checklist surfaces the gap between what your organization is spending on AI and what it’s actually getting back.

What’s Inside:

  • Cost & ROI: Where AI spend is quietly duplicating itself, and how to tell the difference between a real capability gap and a context gap.
  • Accuracy & Trust: Whether your team can verify an AI answer, or is just trusting it.
  • Efficiency & Usability: Whether AI is actually shortening the ramp-up time on complex matters, or just making search feel faster.
  • Governance & Risk: Whether your ethical walls and permissions travel automatically into your AI environment, or depend on someone remembering.
  • Institutional Knowledge & Scale: What happens to a matter’s history and strategy when the lawyer or compliance professional who built it leaves the organization.

Built for general counsel, compliance officers, legal operations leaders, and IT/knowledge management teams who are being asked to justify AI spend, plan the next phase of AI adoption, or simply get an honest read on whether current tools are earning their keep.
