# Deposition summarization

> Transcripts + AI summaries + searchable databases of deposition testimony.

**Sector**: [Legal Tech](https://signals.gitdealflow.com/niche-down/legal-tech)  
**Build cost**: One-quarter build  
**Deal velocity**: Trickle — one deal per quarter

## Why now

Depositions are core litigation work. AI summarization + search is high-value.

## What the signal looks like

Repos with transcript-ingest libraries, summarization models, and case-management integrations.

## Public examples

*Public projects + categories only — we never name founders tracked inside the paid product.*

- Veritext / Steno adjacency
- Lit Software shape
- Open-source deposition libraries

## What this displaces

A junior associate + 100 pages of transcript per night.

## Our build-vs-invest call

Niche. Fund only with prior legal-tech background. The moat is the integration with deposition vendors + the case-management workflow.

## Frequently asked
