How preparation becomes capacity
Give the preparation a team.
Keep the judgment yours.
One illustration: before-signing contract preparation. A configured workflow could bring the materials, your standards and the questions that need a lawyer into one preparation packet. Explore the fictional contract and dispute examples below.
- You provide
The materials & standards
The supplied agreement, your checklist and the client’s instructions.
- Supanova prepares
A packet for review
Clause comparisons, missing information and draft questions, with references to the supplied sources.
- You decide
The advice & next steps
Check the preparation. Decide what matters, what to ask and what can go to the client.
The aim is less preparation for you to do from scratch. Test the complete effort—including briefing, checking and corrections—to see whether it creates useful capacity for your firm.

Your preparation cost. Your client's fee.
Two different decisions.
Supanova usage is an input to your delivery cost. You decide the legal service, the client fee and whether the arrangement fits the matter and the rules that apply.

Collection, expenses and timing
Reference illustration
The reference has no Supanova usage and $20 other direct cost. Its lawyer-hour value and payment-processing rate follow your selected illustration.
Compare the average
The $2,400 reference leaves $2,191.60 cash per matter and $273.95 per lawyer hour. This illustration leaves no more cash per matter and more cash per lawyer hour ($298.45). Neither establishes additional paying demand.
In the complex branch, contribution after valuing lawyer time is -$1,237.75. If checking and corrections take longer, change the hours before drawing a conclusion.
Contribution after valuing lawyer time subtracts the hourly value you entered. It is not take-home pay or profit. Fixed overhead, tax, insurance and client acquisition are outside this illustration.
Nonpayment, delay and complexity may occur together. This illustration does not bound future liability or every possible cost.
See every assumption and calculation
Complexity and success are independent hypothetical inputs. The model enumerates their branches. It applies the cap inside each branch before calculating an average. Collection rates represent assumed receipts inside each branch; they do not turn success into collection. The No collection control sets both collection rates to zero and assumes a complex matter.
Branch fee = min(legal-fee cap, base + agreed complex phase + success payment)
Cash remaining = collected legal fees + expense reimbursement − usage − other direct costs − expenses advanced − payment processing
Contribution after valuing lawyer time = cash remaining − all lawyer hours × hourly value
Expenses are outside the legal-fee cap here; reimbursement is capped by expenses advanced and occurs only on modeled success, subject to successful-fee collection. The processing percentage applies to legal-fee receipts and expense reimbursement. All modeled costs are assumed paid before collection. Already available base receipts reduce cash exposure only if earned, collected, available and not reserved for refunds; client advances and trust balances are excluded. Present value discounts base/phase and outcome receipts on their separate collection dates while keeping costs and processing at their nominal modeled amounts.
| Branch | Share | Billed fee | Cash remaining | After lawyer time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Routine | 85% | $1,500 | $1,322.25 | $722.25 |
| Complex | 15% | $1,500 | $1,162.25 | -$1,237.75 |

| Overall legal-fee maximum | 1,500 |
| Share of matters becoming complex | 15% |

Actual selected reference assumptions. $2,400 legal fee; 8 lawyer hours; 95% fee collection. No Supanova usage; $20 other direct costs. The reference uses the displayed lawyer-hour value and processing rate. It leaves $2,191.60 cash and $591.60 after valuing lawyer time.
The average across the original selected assumptions remains $1,298.25 cash and $428.25 after valuing lawyer time. Difficult, loss and no-collection views are separate scenarios. Nonpayment, delay and complexity can coincide. This model does not estimate malpractice, sanctions, future liability, owner living costs or fixed overhead.
Time made available can support another matter, more attention to an existing client or a shorter day. It becomes additional revenue only if suitable work is available and collected.
What you would pay Supanova
Price the work.
Keep the two bills clear.
Pay As You Use has no required monthly platform subscription. Review the current retail usage rates, funding requirements and any separate charges before authorizing paid work.
You pay Supanova for its usage. Your client pays your firm for legal services under your agreement. An outcome-based client fee does not make Supanova's charge a share of your recovery.
Funding and spending controls
Adding money to a wallet and consuming it are different events. The amount a matter uses depends on the work, sources, attempts and revisions.
See the applicable rates, your balance and the scope of spending controls before work starts. A workspace spending limit covers the workspace; it is not a guaranteed price for one matter.
Supanova on Supanova
We're building Supanova
with Supanova.
Our own workforce contributes across strategy, product planning, brand, research, content, marketing and sales. We're also quantifying what that capacity costs: for the workload we've modeled, about $2,627 in wallet spend corresponds to $100,000 in estimated labor value.
Our broader company-building record includes Six's direction, Supanova, personas and other AI assistance. Each output and cost needs its own attribution.
Your practice deserves its own evidence.
Start with one familiar service. Measure the accepted result, your involvement and the actual paid usage before deciding what to repeat.
This is a projection from a defined historical workload, not observed $100,000 savings or a legal-work price. It assumes the same work mix, human involvement and billing conditions, including costs we absorbed. Other delivery costs remain unreconciled. Calculation dated October 14, 2026.
Open the calculation
The company-building story is broader than this calculation. The calculation values a defined research-and-draft workload; it does not value everything we've built.
- $3.79 recorded wallet debit
- Historical attributable usage debits for the modeled workload. Not total delivery cost.
- 220 estimated manual minutes
- Analyst estimate for comparable research, source capture, contact discovery, drafts and workbook preparation. Not a stopwatch measurement.
- 60 assumed human minutes
- Briefing, review, corrections and intervention. Historical involvement was not measured.
- 160 modeled minutes returned
- The difference between the two time assumptions.
- $54.10 illustrative hourly labor value
- Market-research wage adjusted by a broad compensation-to-wage ratio. This is a modeling choice, not a lawyer rate or measured Supanova labor cost.
- Historical costs absorbed
- The projection retains those billing conditions. A future run may cost differently.
- Other costs unreconciled
- External-tool and remaining delivery costs are not included in the wallet comparison.
The underlying historical workload produced ten company records and ten outreach drafts, with eight addresses found and two missing. It did not include independently verified addresses or outreach sending. Operator recovery was part of the run.
160 ÷ 60 × $54.10494515539305 ≈ $144.28 modeled labor value
$100,000 ÷ $144.27985374771478 × $3.79 ≈ $2,627 projected wallet spend
Rate basis: $37.87 × ($46.89 ÷ $32.82). Saved calculation accessed the BLS market-research wage and BLS compensation inputs on October 14, 2026.

Questions a lawyer should ask
A few things to keep clear.
Can this help us offer outcome-based fees?
It could help reduce or organize preparation within a suitable matter. Whether an outcome fee is permitted, reasonable and commercially sensible depends on the work and the governing rules. The firm still carries losses, expenses, collection risk and the wait for payment. The worksheet keeps that branch visible. ABA fee principles ↗
What happens when a matter becomes more complex?
Define the ordinary service and the change process before beginning. A more complex phase may need a separate agreed fee and a higher overall maximum. Show what that maximum covers. A larger usage bill never changes the client's agreement by itself.
Would we have to lower our fees?
You choose the fee, subject to applicable duties. The point is to understand what the reviewed service costs and what it lets you offer: a clearer price, another suitable matter or more attention within the same fee. Hourly charges must reflect the work actually performed; efficiency is not a license to bill time you did not spend. ABA AI and fee guidance ↗
Who checks the work?
Your lawyer reviews the preparation and decides its legal meaning, advice and use. The example makes sources, missing information and open questions easier to inspect. Any workflow still needs to be configured, demonstrated and measured; source links do not promise that every result is accurate. ABA supervision and competence guidance ↗
Can we upload a real matter here?
This public page uses fictional materials and has no upload. Before live client information enters a workspace, your firm needs to assess actual data handling, provider terms, access, retention and the permissions the matter requires. Removing a name alone does not resolve confidentiality. ABA confidentiality guidance ↗
Does this replace our practice-management system?
The starting point is preparation alongside the way your firm already works. No connection to your existing systems is assumed. Any integration should be confirmed for the specific work before it is included in your plan.
Is the usage illustration our price?
No. Worksheet inputs are hypothetical. The founder calculation covers a different workload and historical billing conditions. Your price follows your current Supanova terms and the actual work you authorize.
What do we get without creating an account?
The complete fictional example, an editable economics comparison, a blank fee-and-scope worksheet and your starting brief. You can use the brief even if you decide not to use Supanova.
