GREENSBORO, N.C., November 12, 2026 – TCDI, a leading provider of legal services and technology solutions, today announced that it has received the “Best Use of AI for eDiscovery” award for the third consecutive year in the 7th Annual LegalTech Breakthrough Awards. This year’s recognition honors TCDI’s AI-enabled medical record review workflow, which helps legal teams turn large, unstructured collections of medical records into searchable evidence with validated clinical information and dynamic chronologies.

TCDI reports that the workflow delivers approximately 50–60% reductions in project cost and turnaround time. By pairing AI with specialized human review, the company helps attorneys understand a plaintiff’s medical history sooner and spend less time working through lengthy record collections.

“Winning this award three years in a row reflects the care our team puts into solving the problems clients bring us,” said Bill Johnson, Founder and CEO of TCDI. “A medical chronology is only useful if attorneys can work with the information and check it against the records. Our team built this workflow around that need, giving faster access to critical medical information and a more flexible way to analyze it.”

AI helps separate large PDFs into discrete, individual medical documents and extracts relevant information, while enhanced OCR makes the records more searchable. TCDI’s Military Spouse Managed Review (MSMR) team provides the solution’s human-validation layer. Quality engineers check document unitization and Bates ranges, while MSMR nurse analysts validate clinical classifications and extracted medical information.

The validated information and individual source records come together in CVLynx, TCDI’s proprietary platform. Counsel can search and filter the repository and build chronologies around a plaintiff’s medical history or a particular deposition topic. When an extracted fact raises a question, attorneys can open the specific medical document supporting it instead of searching through a larger PDF.

Because the underlying records remain available alongside the extracted information, counsel can revisit the evidence and adjust chronologies as the matter develops. The workflow turns large, unstructured medical record collections into searchable evidence for targeted analysis.

Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of LegalTech Breakthrough, said, “By making AI the foundation of a human-validated workflow, TCDI gives legal teams earlier access to critical medical information and a more flexible way to analyze it. The result is a new model for medical evidence review that supports case strategy from initial assessment through deposition preparation and trial. That makes it an easy choice to award TCDI with ‘Best use of AI for eDiscovery.’”

The LegalTech Breakthrough Awards program, conducted by independent market intelligence organization LegalTech Breakthrough, recognizes innovation across the global legal technology industry. The annual program evaluates companies and solutions that help improve how legal work is performed.
