Pace Process Intelligence

No single source of truth.
So we use five.

The board pack describes last month. The strategy deck describes five years out. Partners describe what they remember. Every source is partial, late, and contradicts the others. Pace Process Intelligence is the methodology we built to reconcile them: five independent lenses of the firm, each seeing what the others miss. It is the evidence base that powers Vantage.

The twin

Not a dashboard. An architecture.

Vantage is built like a system, not a piece of reporting. Four layers, each engineered for a single job, each resting on the one below it. Together they form the digital twin of your firm: one place where evidence, levers, consequence, and execution meet.

Data What feeds the twin

Process intelligence

Five-lens methodology output. Systems, tasks, interviews, workshops, artefacts reconciled.

Firm performance

Revenue, margin, cash, lock-up, utilisation. Live from your systems.

Industry benchmarks

Legal-sector financial and operational comparators. Refreshed quarterly.

Pace IP

Proprietary lever libraries, initiative templates, and transformation models.

Scenario Defines change

Blueprint

Redesign how matters flow through the firm. Process, people, technology, reconfigured.

Utilisation

Model real capacity against real demand. By practice, by grade, by individual.

Pricing

Test rate cards, AFAs, and client-level pricing against historical yield.

Analysis Measures consequence

Financial impact modelling

Forecast P&L, cash, and lock-up to 36 months. Every scenario rebuilds the curve.

Portfolio builder

Stack initiatives, hires, and investments. Cost-benefit quantified and business case ready to present.

Delivery Realises the business case

KPI progress monitoring

Track every target from the business case. From partnership commitment to in-flight outcome.

Real-time conformance

Alerts when execution drifts from the agreed blueprint. Catch it before the quarter does.

Vantage AI assistant

Your partners' ambient access to Pace knowledge. Ask the twin anything, in plain English.

Inside Vantage

A firm you can interrogate.

Every block is a lever. Every number is an output. Change anything, and the whole model reconciles in the time it takes to blink. Five lenses in, one coherent firm out.

Built with

Trained on two decades of Pace experience across the legal industry, synthesised with Gartner research and anonymised patterns from our partner firms.

The engagement

What an engagement looks like.

Twelve weeks, end to end. Three stages, four weeks each. Each builds on the one before. By the end, you have a live twin, a validated baseline, and an investment-ready business case.

01
4 weeks · Weeks 1-4

Data & process mining

Extract data from the firm's core systems, ingest it into the twin, and model out the process mining baseline. The technical stage: event logs engineered, timestamps reconciled, the as-is processes rendered.

02
4 weeks · Weeks 5-8

Baseline analysis

Process workshops to fill the gaps the systems miss. One-to-one conversations with individuals. A walk through existing documentation. The human stage: context, nuance, and validation layered onto the baseline.

03
4 weeks · Weeks 9-12

Scenarios & business case

Work with SMEs inside Vantage to build out scenarios, test transformation theses, and align on a prioritised portfolio. The strategic stage: ends with a quantified, investment-ready business case.

After the engagement, the twin stays live. Pace stays on hand. Scenarios keep running as the firm evolves.

Built for

The questions Vantage answers out loud.

Managing Partner
& COO

Show me a dashboard of my firm.

Give me a single trustworthy view of how my firm actually makes and wastes money.

CFO

How do we achieve better utilisation and realisation?

Help me see cause-and-effect between levers and outcomes so I can defend decisions to the partnership.

Head of Strategy
& Transformation

We need to model scenarios before we commit.

Give me a sandbox where I can test a transformation thesis and build a business case before putting it in front of the partnership.

Who builds it

Pace. The consultancy for legal and professional services data.

Vantage is built and operated by Pace, the data and AI consultancy for professional services. The process intelligence methodology at its core is Pace's IP, refined across engagements with the firms listed to the right. The consultants who run your discovery are the same people who built and maintain the twin, which means the platform evolves against real partner questions, not product team hypotheses.

Current engagements
Voices from the room

What partners say, once they've used it.

"By the fourth scenario we'd stopped arguing about numbers and started arguing about choices. That's the only argument worth having in a partnership."

Managing Partner UK top-50 law firm

"I used to spend three days building the board pack. Now I spend one day asking the twin better questions, and the pack writes itself."

CFO International law firm

"We tested four transformation theses in an afternoon. Only one survived contact with the model. That saved us a year of work and most of our political capital."

Head of Strategy Global law firm

Stop running the firm on instinct.

The data is already in your systems. Vantage turns it into decisions. Open the live Vantage demo, run a scenario against Meridian & Partners, our synthetic firm, then bring the one question the board pack never answers.
