Electronic data discovery is expensive. But e-discovery's costs are often hidden in lengthy, contingent price schedules: $400/hour for forensic collection, $50/GB for data extraction, $350/GB for migration to the review platform, $0.06/doc for technology assisted review, $.03/page for .tiff conversion, so forth and so on. The last schedule I reviewed had 54 separately-priced categories.
Though I am familiar with the lexicon — e.g., de-nist, near-line storage , logical unitization — I only have a vague sense of how these categories aggregate into a projected bottom line.
