Problem
Law firms often discover mass‑tort or class‑action opportunities only after the underlying harm has been widely reported, making it difficult to secure plaintiffs early and to build a strong case before competitors intervene.
Solution
WhyHow offers an AI‑driven platform that continuously scans public data sources—such as scientific research, regulatory notices, user complaints, and social media—to flag emerging legal risks months before lawsuits are filed. The system applies codified practice‑area logic to validate the relevance of each signal and generates detailed opportunity reports for attorneys. Once a case is qualified, WhyHow’s plaintiff‑acquisition module identifies, qualifies, and onboards real plaintiffs at scale. The platform also provides AI‑native e‑discovery, document review, and other litigation support tools, enabling firms to move from early detection to signed retainers more efficiently.
