Fermi summary

50 law firms at $300/mo is $180K ARR and the pain is real - but you're selling compliance-paranoid solo lawyers on an AI product that touches their clients and their conflict database, so budget $38K and 12 months before this turns a dollar of profit.

Key risks

Unauthorized Practice of Law (UPL) exposure: running conflict checks and drafting retainers via AI is legally murky in 15+ states - one bar complaint or cease-and-desist forces a mid-growth product redesign
Voice AI abandonment by distressed callers: people calling lawyers after hours (just arrested, just in an accident) hang up on robotic flows fast - actual lead capture rate may be 40-50% below what demo conditions suggest
Integration dependency kills retention: solo firms expect data to land in Clio or MyCase automatically - without native integrations built pre-launch, manual re-entry produces churn by day 45
