What purpose does "batch review" serve in Relativity?

The purpose of "batch review" in Relativity is to enhance efficiency by grouping documents for a single reviewer. When documents are batched together, the reviewer can work through a set of documents that are often related or share similar characteristics, allowing for a more streamlined and focused review process. This approach can significantly improve productivity because it reduces the time spent switching between different documents or contexts, enabling the reviewer to apply consistent reasoning and judgment to similar materials.

Additionally, batching can help manage the workload more effectively, making it easier to track progress and ensure that all documents are reviewed thoroughly and in a timely manner. This is particularly important in large-scale e-discovery projects where the volume of documents can be overwhelming. Groups that are assigned to individual reviewers can also help in maintaining consistency in decision-making.
