Deposition Scheduling Voice Coordinator | TivAI

If an entrepreneur "adopted" this product today, here's the realistic math.

Fermi summary

If you close 35 litigation firms at $400/mo by month 12, that's $168k ARR - but after $38k investment and a 12% shot at getting there, your expected year-1 take-home is negative $24k; this is a year-2+ play if the compliance wall doesn't kill it first.

Go-to-market motion

Direct outbound email to litigation partners at 50-200 attorney firms → demo showing live deposition scheduling call → $350/mo per firm, targeting firms averaging 10+ depositions/month as the pain threshold.

Key risks

Two-party recording consent varies by state - a voice agent that records scheduling calls without proper disclosure triggers wiretapping liability, and attorneys won't touch a tool that creates malpractice exposure
Deposition coordination requires aligning opposing counsel, court reporters, deponents, and videographers - getting all parties to interact with an AI voice system they didn't consent to is a social and legal friction wall
Court reporting agencies already own the scheduling relationship and have incumbent booking portals (e.g. Planet Depos, Veritext) - they may block or disintermediate an AI layer that cuts their coordination fees
Legal industry sales cycles average 6-9 months at small firms; year-1 ARR is severely pipeline-constrained regardless of product quality
