Executive Summary

Divorce attorneys and forensic accountants currently waste large amounts of time (often hundreds of hours per complex case) manually transcribing bank PDFs, scanned statements and payment records to trace hidden income and assets; this leads to high client bills, inconsistent findings, and delays for roughly 30,000 family law and forensic accounting practices. The problem is compounded by variable document quality and the need for defensible, audited evidence that will hold up in court. You could build an automated pipeline that ingests messy PDFs and scans with state-of-the-art OCR, links transactions using LIBR-style explainable models and graph analysis to reconstruct cashflows, and outputs source-linked, court-ready exhibits plus a reviewer UI and audited chain-of-custody. The product would be sold as a subscription or per-firm usage (targeting a $25K ACV) and include integrations and redaction tools so reviewers retain final control. The market looks attractive now: total addressable market ~ $750M (30,000 firms × $25K ACV), courts and litigators are increasingly accepting reproducible digital evidence, OCR/document-understanding models have improved, and firms are shifting from variable billable hours to predictable tooling. Competition is medium, but the real challenge is operational—validating admissibility, proving accuracy on low-quality statements, and achieving enterprise-grade security and integrations. You can differentiate by combining high-accuracy OCR on poor scans, explainable anomaly detection (so expert reviewers and judges can understand why items were flagged), and preformatted, defensible exhibits that demonstrably cut per-case hours by a measurable percentage—but expect to invest in pilot studies, legal validation, and tight data governance to win trust.

Market Opportunity

Automate forensic accounting for divorces using OCR, LIBR & graph analysis targets a $750.0M = 30,000 family law & forensic accounting firms × $25K ACV (annual subscription or per-firm usage over a year) total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 6% YoY (document/forensics software and legal tech adoption trend; industry sources such as IBISWorld and legal-tech market reports, 2023–2024 estimates).

Key trends driving demand: Trend — Courts and litigators increasingly accept digitally-signed and reproducible evidence, lowering barriers for algorithmic forensic outputs to be admitted and trusted.; Trend — Document understanding and OCR models have improved dramatically, enabling reliable ingestion of low-quality bank PDFs and scanned statements which previously required manual transcription.; Trend — Legal practices are trading high per-case billable hours for predictable, subscription-grade tooling to control costs as clients push back on large hourly bills.; Trend — Demand for auditability and reproducibility in forensic analysis is growing, driving interest in cryptographic sealing and verifiable provenance for expert reports..
