Claude for Legal tech: cost + audit guide

Document review + drafting generates massive Claude bills on token-heavy workflows.

Common pain: Document review + drafting generates massive Claude bills on token-heavy workflows.

What's going on

Legal-tech on Claude: long documents, multi-step analysis, iterative refinement. Every loop re-reads the brief. The cost pattern is clear but never addressed.

What to do about it

Three patterns dominate the waste on most Claude workloads: (1) context re-sending; (2) retry loops on validation failures; (3) agent-chain re-reads. AIUsage's audit identifies which is eating your bill and projects what you'd save — no signup required for the number.

The fastest path to your real number: paste your last 30 days of Anthropic usage at aiusage.ai. Under two minutes. If your expected delta is under 40%, the audit says so and you walk.

Verified case reference

Across six audited workloads, Claude API costs dropped 76-84% on the same prompts with blind-tested output quality. See the case-004 research loop case studies.
