Long-form writing on billable hours, privilege, and the solo lawyer economy
This is where we write at length. Short, opinionated takes live on the launch essay and in the compare pages; the blog is for the pieces that need room to do their math.

Why US solo lawyers leak $30,000 a year in unbilled hours
Under-recording 5–10 billable hours a week is the single most common revenue problem in hourly-fee solo practice. We map the five patterns the leak hides in, walk the realization-rate math, and show why every existing industry fix costs another $1,000+ a year on top.
What's next on the publishing calendar
We are writing one long-form piece a week, prioritizing the questions our ICP actually searches for. The next two drafts on deck:
- "Privilege-preserving time tracking: a metadata-only architecture, explained." The technical deep-dive paired with the launch essay — what we capture, what we refuse to, and why ABA Formal Opinion 512 (2024) changed the math for AI-read-your-email tools.
- "The $1,250/week math: 5 hours × $250/hr × 50 weeks = your second associate." A founder-narrative companion to this post, written for LinkedIn and r/smalllaw cross-posting.

Adjacent writing on the site
Before the blog existed, we wrote the dense buyer's-guide stuff at /seo/ and the head-to-head PMS comparisons at /compare/. Useful jumping-off points:
- The launch essay — the 1,600-word opening argument for why this product exists at all.
- Solo lawyer time tracking software — five tools US solos actually use, ranked honestly.
- Time tracking without a practice management system — the no-PMS category, defined.
- Clio vs ClaimHour — PMS-level head-to-head with three-year cost math.
