Evidentiary.ai wasn't designed in a lab. It was forged in the trenches of the largest civil litigation program in the United States.
Joshua Wood spent over two decades at the Department of Justice and over a decade as the Director of the Office of Litigation Support for the Civil Division — building and managing the most advanced litigation support environment in the federal government.
At DOJ, Josh oversaw a $90–$120 million annual operation spanning 500+ staff, a petabyte-scale data infrastructure, and twelve FISMA-authorized systems. He served as a Department recognized subject matter expert on AI in litigation, delivering training programs on text analytics and predictive coding across DOJ's litigating divisions.
He conceived and built the Advanced Data Analytics and Data Mining (ADAM) Lab, a resource leveraging open-source and COTS tools to address litigation needs across every DOJ litigating division. In its eighth year, ADAM saved the Department an estimated $11M+ annually and was recognized by the Department CIO as its most successful technology initiative.
He served as the “Tier 3” E-discovery technical lead, advising attorneys and agencies. He was the technical member of DOJ's eLitigation Steering Committee, and held several technical roles across working groups and committees that dealt with E-discovery and AI.
Evidentiary.ai is the product of everything Josh learned building litigation technology at the highest level of government — now made available to every litigation team that demands defensible, auditable AI.
The ADAM Lab, conceived and built by Josh, delivered over $11M in annual cost savings for DOJ and $9M for the Civil Division alone — recognized as the Department's most successful technology project.
Designed and deployed five ALS Labs handling eDiscovery processing, FOIA, and forensic analysis for the Civil Division — delivering $8M+ in annual savings.
Led the expedited launch of Relativity across DOJ's Civil Division, compressing a projected 2-month rollout into 3 weeks while maintaining full security compliance.
Served as Information System Security Owner for twelve FISMA Authority to Operate environments, including the Department's first high-side (S/TS) litigation deployment.
Technical Lead for the MEGA5 contract, the Department's $1.5 billion litigation support procurement vehicle, advising the Contracting Officer on programmatic requirements.
Recognized as DOJ's subject matter expert on AI in litigation. Piloted predictive coding with 98% accuracy, and trained litigators across the Department on text analytics and advanced search methodology.
Not a technologist guessing at legal needs. A litigation technology leader who managed over a petabyte of case data across the largest civil litigation operation in the U.S. government.
A track record of building technology that saves tens of millions annually. The ADAM Lab alone delivered $11M+ in recurring annual savings — not projected, measured.
Decades of relationships with federal agencies, Am Law 200 firms, and the DOJ litigation community. Evidentiary.ai's founder speaks the buyer's language because he was the buyer.
Whether you're an investor, a potential hire, or a litigation team ready for better tools — we'd love to connect.
