First CLEAN
Hercules first ensures your data is usable and well-structured.
Common data cleaning includes:
- Ensure format consistency
- Identify & resolve duplicates
- Reconcile & standardize names (e.g. James McGill, Jim McGill, J McGill)
- Standardize practice areas, UTBMS, and matter tagging
Then ENHANCE
Once clean, Hercules enhances your data, improving the quality and accuracy of the analytics.
Common enhancements include:
- Translate open text into standard organizational tags (e.g. UTBMS, matter types or practice areas)
- Identify AFAs
- Distinguish Write Offs vs Discounts/IFs
- Standardize practice areas, UTBMS, and matter tagging
- Improve Practice Area Taxonomy (e.g. adding and allocating sub-areas for more granular analysis)
- Augment Data Records (e.g. add timekeeper details, benchmark rates, etc.)
