Capacity and Workload
See how work is distributed across your people, where pressure is building and where capacity can be released. Plan fairly, transparently and at scale.
Simitive helps law firms see their business clearly and plan it with confidence. A forward-looking model of your firm's work, so leaders can see where capacity exists, understand what work costs to deliver, and plan the people, investment and change the firm's strategy will need.
Simitive does not replace leadership judgement. It strengthens it.
What Simitive lets you do
A single team, a department, a sector or the whole firm - all in the same model.
where capacity exists and where teams are under real pressure.
what work costs to deliver, and what drives those costs.
productivity across comparable teams, departments and practices.
growth, restructuring and new ways of working before you commit.
how AI may reshape workload, roles, cost and the workforce.
recruitment, investment and change ahead of need.
How it works
Simitive starts with the work your firm does. We model your activities, work out the resource each one requires, and build the total capacity needed to deliver. We then set that against the people and resource you have, now and across the planning horizon ahead.
The result is a forward view of capacity, cost, leverage and workforce requirement - grounded in how your firm actually works and ready for the decisions leadership already needs to make.
The decisions it supports
Whether a team, department or sector needs additional legal resource over the next planning period.
How leverage is working across teams, and what a shift toward whole-team objectives would take.
What the firm will need, in people and resource, to deliver its strategy.
Whether an investment, a new service or a restructuring will release capacity or add cost - before you commit.
The true contribution of business services, so their value can be planned for and not only their cost.
The platform
Four products, configured for legal, that work on their own and even better together.
See how work is distributed across your people, where pressure is building and where capacity can be released. Plan fairly, transparently and at scale.
Understand what work costs to deliver, how that changes with AI and structural shifts, and what it means for your margins, pricing and financial planning.
Support better conversations about contribution, development and the workforce you will need. Streamline appraisals and lift engagement across the firm.
Bring time, people and resource commitments into one plan. See who is delivering what, when and where, balanced against the capacity you actually have.
AI is changing how legal work gets done, and with it the size, shape and cost of the workforce firms will need. Simitive shows where AI could release capacity, where it may create new demands, and how it may change leverage, pricing and service delivery - so AI investment can be judged on evidence.
Because Simitive models your work rather than your case files, it has limited to no dependency on client or matter data. It uses the firm's own operational and financial information, sits alongside your existing systems, respects your IT security and carries a minimal IT footprint. That keeps regulatory risk and disruption low.
For some firms AI is the immediate driver. For others it is capacity, cost or growth. Either way, Simitive becomes a capability your firm keeps.
Real partnership
Proven at scale across higher education and in use within the NHS - now brought to legal.
Every firm is different. We take the time to understand how yours works, so we never treat any two clients the same.
We stay with you beyond implementation - from modelling and analysis through to engagement and the conversations that follow.
The goal is not more information. It is better decisions, made with greater clarity, consistency and confidence.
Getting started
There is no need to start everywhere at once. Begin where the question is sharpest - a single department, sector or team. Prove the value there, then extend the same forward-looking view across the firm.
