### Case Study ### 89x ROI return on investment in recovered billable time - Firm Name Cohen & Buckmann, P.C. - Location New York, NY - Practice Area ERISA / Executive Compensation vs PointOne ERISA / Executive Compensation 89x Return on Investment $74K Monthly Revenue Recovered +0.7 Extra Billable Hours / Day ## The Practice ## Where Every Missed 0.1 Costs $55 to $110 Cohen & Buckmann, P.C. is a Chambers USA-ranked boutique in New York City specializing exclusively in executive compensation and ERISA. Founded in 2016 by Sandra Cohen, formerly of Sullivan & Cromwell, the firm serves corporate boards, C-suite executives, investment advisers, and other law firms that hire them as specialists. With hourly rates reaching over $1,000, every missed billing increment carries outsized cost. The nature of the work - complex, multi-party, document-heavy - generates dozens of micro-interactions per day. A five-minute email review at partner rates costs the firm over $100 when it goes unbilled. Multiply that across a team and a week, and the lost revenue is substantial. ## The Evaluation ## She Demo'd PointOne First. Chose Ajax in 2 Days. Sandra Cohen is thorough about vetting technology. She evaluated multiple AI timekeeping solutions, starting with a demo of PointOne. The difference came down to content visibility: PointOne relies on API integrations and sees metadata (that you sent an email, opened a document), but not the actual content. For a practice where the difference between "reviewed document" and "analyzed amendments to Executive Deferred Compensation Plan regarding IRC §409A safe harbor requirements" matters enormously, that level of detail is essential. Ajax captures what's actually on the screen and turns it into entries that match each attorney's writing style. Sandra was sold within two days. ## The Results ## $74,403 per Month in Recovered Revenue “I had previously demo'd PointOne and did not buy it. But I was sold on Ajax within 2 days of my demo based on how easy it is to use.” Sandra Cohen Founder & Managing Partner ## The Rate Math ## At These Rates, Ajax Pays for Itself in Days | Position | Recovered / Month | |------------|-------------------| | Associate | $8,470 | | Senior | $13,090 | | Partner | $16,940 | Gretchen Harders Partner +1.8 extra hrs/day captured Gretchen Harders Partner +$1,558 additional/day recovered ## What The Team Says ## From Associates to New Hires > The descriptions are great. That's been the easiest sell in getting me using this thing. Whereas I would typically write 'revising employment agreement,' now it's 'revising employment agreement for this person and focusing on X, Y, Z' - which I think our clients would appreciate.” > **Sherrone Torres**\- Senior Associate ## Unsolicited Endorsement ## What Sandra Told Her Attorney Forum “We have been very happy using Ajax for automatic time tracking; it has easy integration with Clio, and it does a good job using AI to adapt to your drafting style for time entries. Now I do less work than ever releasing my time entries, and I know it has already 'found' $$$ in lost time. Obviously, I'm a fan and this is an unpaid promotional endorsement.” Sandra Cohen - Founder & Managing Partner, unsolicited post to her attorney forum ### Why Ajax Over PointOne | **Capability** | **Ajax** | **PointOne** | |----------------|----------|---------------| | Data source | Screen capture (sees actual content) | API integrations (metadata only)| | Entry detail | “Analyzed amendments to Executive Deferred Compensation Plan re: IRC §409A” | “Reviewed document”| | Style learning | Adapts to each attorney's writing style | Generic templates | ## About Customer ## About Cohen & Buckmann, P.C.
