The problem

Cost drafting is a document problem dressed as a maths problem. A time ledger comes out of a case management system, gets re-keyed, gets reconciled against file notes, and gets formatted to a standard that varies by case type.

It is slow, it is expensive, and the errors are found late.

What we did

Jurana reads the ledger deterministically wherever the format is known, with automatic format detection so nobody maps columns by hand.

AI is used where it earns its place: as a fallback when no parser exists, and to enrich thin time entries from the underlying file notes. Every case type, Legal Aid, Court of Protection and Inter Partes, is handled on the same rails.

Where it landed

Firms get a draft bill from a raw ledger without the re-keying step, and the accuracy conversation moves from transcription to judgement.

Jurana runs as a product, with paying firms on it, rather than as a consultancy engagement that ends.
