5 in 5 Episodes 7–9: How EMEA Teams, Global Review Workflows & AI Defensibility Are Evolving with aiR

Nov 24, 2025

As 5 in 5 continues, our mission hasn’t changed: give legal professionals real answers to real AI questions in five minutes or less. With CDS’s two decades of hands-on discovery experience and Relativity’s industry-leading aiR suite, this series delivers practical, no-fluff insights on how AI is reshaping investigations, review, case strategy, and security across the legal ecosystem. 

Episodes 7–9 spotlight how international teams accelerate investigations, how CDS unlocks the full power of RelativityOne, and how Relativity ensures aiR for Review is defensible, transparent, and repeatable. Each episode pairs a CDS expert with a Relativity leader to break down one big question fast — no hype, no jargon, just the facts that matter. 

Let’s explore the next set of episodes. 

Episode 7: Accelerating Investigations in EMEA with aiR for Case Strategy

Featuring: Kevin Chacon (CDS) + Davide Rocco (Relativity Germany) 

Why You’ll Want to Watch 

Investigations across EMEA are complex — cross-border data, multiple actors, and time pressure from regulators. In this episode, Kevin and Davide unpack how aiR for Case Strategy helps teams cut through evidence faster, build defensible narratives, and uncover the truth earlier. It’s a crash course in how to move from manual timelines to intelligent, AI-driven strategy. 

This Episode Delivers: 

  • A clear explanation of how aiR automatically builds fact chronologies and evidence-linked timelines 
  • Real-world insights from Davide’s project management experience (and why lawyers begged for this tool years ago) 
  • Practical examples of how aiR transforms custodian interviews, witness summaries, and deposition prep 
  • How early insight reduces risk, cost, and pressure—especially when regulators are watching 
  • A candid look at what actually stops teams from adopting GenAI, and how to overcome it 

Perfect For Anyone Who Wants To: 

  • Accelerate internal or regulatory investigations 
  • Replace manual spreadsheets and sticky-note timelines with dynamic, AI-built chronologies 
  • Get ahead of evidence bottlenecks 
  • Demonstrate transparency and cooperation to oversight bodies 
  • Understand practical GenAI adoption across EMEA legal teams 

TL;DR 

If you investigate, interview, or build timelines, this episode shows how aiR gives teams clarity fast — and why early adopters are gaining a decisive edge. 

Episode 8: How CDS Unlocks RelativityOne’s Full Potential

Featuring: Mike Milicevic (CDS) + Maks Babuder [Relativity]

This episode flips the script — Mike steps into the hot seat to answer the questions instead of asking them. He walks through how CDS builds AI-powered tools that supercharge RelativityOne: faster review, smarter search, seamless migrations, and effortless handling of modern communication data. If you’ve ever wondered what makes CDS a standout partner in the Relativity ecosystem, this is the one to watch.

  • A breakdown of RAPID aiR for Review and how it delivers 50–75% cost savings 
  • How Migration Accelerator (powered by AutoArchive) eliminates migration headaches 
  • How CDS Vision surfaces evidence other tools miss — images, media files, handwriting, low-quality scans 
  • A look at CDS Convert and why it’s essential for Teams, Slack, SMS, and modern chat data

Why You’ll Want to Watch 

AI accuracy matters — especially in legal review. In this episode, Mike and Nathan unpack how aiR for Review produces defensible, consistent, repeatable results. They break down verification steps, performance metrics, and how human experts shape the model’s logic. If you’ve ever been asked “Can we trust AI in review?” — this is the definitive five-minute answer. 

This Episode Delivers: 

  • How aiR verifies every citation against the underlying document 
  • Why Relativity built an independent algorithm to cross-check the model’s reasoning 
  • The recall and precision standards Relativity validated across matters and customers 
  • How grounding, instructions, and context make results more deterministic 
  • Why rich sample sets and simple instructions dramatically improve consistency 

Perfect For Anyone Who Wants To: 

  • Understand how aiR ensures defensibility and transparency 
  • Explain performance metrics to clients, leaders, or judges 
  • Reduce variability in review outcomes 
  • Build protocols that keep human judgment at the center
