Why Chronos

Why litigation teams choose Chronos

Medical records are where personal-injury, workers' comp, and mass-tort cases are won or lost — and reviewing them by hand is slow, expensive, and easy to get wrong. Chronos turns a stack of records into an attorney-ready timeline, with a citation on every line. Here's why firms and the paralegals who run them make the switch.

// The problem

Manual record review is the bottleneck.

Before a case can be worked up, someone has to read the medical file — and that one step quietly eats the most time and money.

It's slow

A single injury case can run thousands of pages of records. Reading them by hand, one page at a time, ties up your most capable people for days per case.

It's expensive

Every hour spent flipping through charts is an hour billed to review instead of strategy — or an outside vendor invoice that grows with the page count.

It's error-prone

Miss one visit, one imaging result, one gap in treatment, and the timeline you build a case around is wrong — and hard to defend when it's challenged.

// Why you need this

The plain answer, for anyone deciding.

Every case built on medical records needs an accurate timeline of what happened, when, and where it's documented. Building that by hand is the expensive, error-prone part. Chronos does the reading and writes the first draft — so your team starts from a cited, editable chronology instead of a blank page and a banker's box. You spend your time checking the work and building the case, not turning pages.

// Built for both sides of the firm

A win for the partner and the paralegal.

Chronos has to make sense to the person signing the invoice and the person doing the work. It's built to do both.

Return, cost control & defensibility

  • A predictable cost per case instead of open-ended review hours — easy to compare against the billable-hour cost of doing it by hand.
  • Free your team for the work that wins cases: strategy, negotiation, and argument — not page-by-page reading.
  • A defensible, court-ready chronology where every entry cites the exact source page, so your timeline holds up when it's challenged.
  • HIPAA-aligned with a signed BAA on every account, HIPAA-eligible infrastructure (Aptible), and AES-256 encryption in transit and at rest.
  • Turn cases around faster than firms still reviewing records manually — a real competitive edge on intake and demand timing.

Time back & less grunt work

  • Hours back on every case — upload the records and get a first-draft timeline instead of reading thousands of pages yourself.
  • No more page-by-page review: the AI reads the file, pulls out every clinical fact, and writes each one to the chronology.
  • A citation on every single line, so you can jump straight to the source page to verify instead of hunting for it.
  • A confidence score on each extracted fact, so you check the uncertain lines first rather than re-reading everything.
  • A clean, intuitive workflow — nothing to install, no steep learning curve, and the timeline stays fully editable.
// An illustrative example

Do the math for your own firm.

Suppose a chronology takes a paralegal a full day of review. At a loaded cost of, say, $60 an hour, that's roughly $480 of internal time on a single case — before any of it is billed to strategy. A per-case credit is a fixed, predictable number you can set against that. Plug in your own hourly figure and review time; the point isn't our numbers, it's that the comparison is easy to run and usually lands the same way.

Figures above are an illustrative example for you to adjust — not a quote or a guaranteed result. See the pricing page for current per-case credit pricing.

// What makes it different

How Chronos compares.

vs. reviewing records by hand

Manual review means a person reading every page, retyping dates into a document, and hoping nothing slipped through. Chronos does the reading and the first draft in a fraction of the time — and every line points back to the page it came from, so verifying is faster than building from scratch.

vs. large legacy platforms

Chronos is built specifically for the medical chronology and the review work around it — not bolted onto a sprawling suite. You get verification-first output (a confidence score on every fact), predictable per-case pricing, and a BAA on every account. For a grounded, source-by-source comparison, see the comparison page.

// Safe with PHI

Built to hold protected health information.

Medical records are the most sensitive data a firm handles. Chronos treats every page as PHI, and never uses your records to train outside AI models.

  • HIPAA-aligned handling of every record as PHI
  • Signed BAA included with every account
  • AES-256 at rest · TLS 1.3 in transit
  • Multi-factor authentication & role-based access
