AI-empowered forensic triage is being hailed as a breakthrough for legal teams drowning in raw data—and it just earned Complete Discovery Source top honors for the second year in a row.
Complete Discovery Source (CDS), a global provider of full-service eDiscovery and legal data solutions, has been named a winner in the Best Innovation: Beyond category at the 2026 Relativity Innovation Awards. The awards are presented each year at Relativity Fest Chicago and celebrate the individuals, teams, and technologies that are shaping the future of the legal intelligence industry. This latest honor marks CDS’s second consecutive victory in the same category, following the company’s 2025 win for its Vision Financial Analysis offering.
The Beyond: AI-Empowered Forensic Triage solution showcases how CDS pushes the boundaries of Relativity aiR into the earliest phases of investigations. The workflow starts by normalizing mobile and computer data through CDS Convert, then applies natural-language analysis via Relativity aiR, and extends investigative reach to visual content using CDS Vision AI. The result is a system that helps legal and investigative teams prioritize key information and transition from raw forensic material to actionable conclusions in minutes or hours—rather than the days or weeks traditionally required—all while preserving defensibility and rigorous standards.
