A note on why we built Cruma
Use case · law practices

The filing went in. The client heard about it.

Intake that waits two days, an engagement letter stuck in drafts, six unbilled hours nobody logged, and a client refreshing their inbox since the hearing. Cruma runs the practice's follow-through, under your sign-off, on the record.

It notices what the timesheet missed.

How insights arrive

Cruma reads the calendar, the sent mail, and the ledger side by side. When they disagree, you hear about it, with citations.

Insight brief · unasked Thursday, 6:40pm
Finding
Six hours of client work this month never reached an invoice: three calls, two letters, a filing run.
What it means
Revenue is leaking at the edge of memory, not in your rates.
What I would do
Reconcile calendar and sent mail against billing weekly. I will stage the write-up for your review each Friday.
Sourced from your calendar, sent mail, and the billing ledger. Every hour cited.
Waiting on your read. The ledger stays untouched until you agree.
The unbilled-hours brief Found, itemized, and parked until you say so.

A room per function. A project per matter.

Why this shape works

Intake, matters, billing, office: durable functions become rooms. Each matter is a project with its own documents, milestones, and an informed client.

Letters, filings, and anything carrying the firm's name wait for a lawyer to say send. Drafts move fast. Sign-off does not move at all.

Practice law.
Not office management.

The billable work is yours. The chase, the assembly, and the status keeping belong to the crew now.
