Outside counsel guidelines
Review time entries, staffing, rates, narratives, expenses, and matter rules against client-specific OCGs.
Named after a mythical guardian Komoku-ten, 広目天(こうもくてん), with a discerning third eye that sees what others miss. Komoku symbolizes heightened awareness and relentless precision, capable of uncovering hidden patterns, inconsistencies, and violations within complex billing data. Just as the legend watches over order and truth, Komoku-ten continuously scans, interprets, and enforces your OCG rules with clarity, insight, and unwavering vigilance.
Komoku does more than search outside counsel guidelines. It automatically converts your OCG materials into a bespoke tailor-made AI Agent that understands billing rules, exceptions, approvals, and matter instructions, then applies that knowledge to invoice and time-entry review.
Review time entries, staffing, rates, narratives, expenses, and matter rules against client-specific OCGs.
Extract billing rules, thresholds, exceptions, required approvals, rate limits, and prohibited charges.
Match OCG rules to time entries, invoice lines, narratives, staffing patterns, expenses, and matter context.
Validate billing activity with cited evidence, exception handling, and reviewer-ready summaries.
Outside counsel guidelines are full of thresholds, carve-outs, defined terms, staffing limits, expense rules, approval paths, and judgment calls. Komoku preserves that nuance, then turns it into an AI Agent that applies the rules consistently to billing review.
OCG rules are parsed into controls that preserve definitions, conditions, exceptions, and matter-specific context.
Your OCG becomes a tailored billing reviewer instead of being forced into a generic checklist.
Findings explain the billing issue, why it matters, where the OCG rule came from, and what to do next.
Komoku creates a living reviewer for your outside counsel guidelines, then uses that AI Agent to validate invoices, narratives, rates, expenses, staffing, approvals, and matter-specific billing rules.
Upload OCGs, billing guides, matter instructions, rate rules, and client billing standards.
Identify billing prohibitions, approvals, exceptions, thresholds, staffing limits, and expense rules.
Auto-create a dedicated tailor-made OCG AI Agent with rule-specific logic and validation checks.
Review invoice submissions, explain billing risk, cite OCG language, and route exceptions for judgment.
Komoku focuses on the details that make OCG review hard: every client has its own billing standards, exceptions, approvals, staffing expectations, and narrative requirements.
Evaluate descriptions, block billing, administrative work, travel time, research, and task-code alignment.
Check approved rates, staffing mix, seniority limits, duplicate attendance, and unauthorized timekeepers.
Validate meals, travel, copying, filing, research tools, local counsel, and other expense categories.
Detect when an item needs prior approval, matter-specific treatment, or human reviewer judgment.
Komoku is priced by the tokens your OCG AI Agent consumes, not by a fixed subscription seat. You pay for the work the agent performs: extracting rules, matching them to billing activity, generating review logic, and validating invoices.
Costs follow actual AI activity, so light review periods stay lean and heavier validation periods scale naturally.
Teams are not forced into fixed monthly seats just to access OCG review automation.
Token usage can be tied back to agent work such as extraction, matching, generation, and validation.
Pricing adapts as invoice volume, OCG complexity, and review depth change over time.
Komoku helps legal operations teams extract rules, validate billing, and explain OCG decisions clearly.
