Founding Reviewers Canadian AI Operations Toolkit
Founding Reviewer listing — $97 CAD (5 seats)
Adopt artificial intelligence in your legal practice with a clear operating system—not a collection of disconnected tools and informal rules.
This is the founding reviewer edition. Five seats are available at $97 CAD.
In exchange for the reduced price, reviewers agree to work through the kit in their own practice and share what they find: a 30-minute feedback call, structured practice notes, and permission to be credited. Reviewers are named in Version 3 and receive it free.
When the five seats are claimed, the toolkit opens at $497 for the first 50 copies, then $737 list.
The Canadian Solo Lawyer & Small Firm AI Operations Toolkit is an eight-document resource package designed to help Canadian lawyers evaluate, introduce, supervise, and document the use of generative AI in their firms. It translates AI-related risks and professional obligations into usable policies, workflows, decision frameworks, implementation plans, checklists, and prompts.
At the centre of the kit is The Canadian AI Operations Playbook, Version 2, a comprehensive guide to building a deliberate and defensible AI operating system. It covers AI risk classification, approved-use frameworks, professional responsibility, confidentiality and privilege, privacy, legal research verification, court and tribunal filings, billing, implementation, measurement, and ongoing governance. The playbook also includes jurisdiction-focused directories and operational forms intended to help firms maintain an audit trail and keep their practices current as regulatory guidance changes.
The companion 30-Day AI Rollout Plan turns those principles into a staged implementation program. Firms begin by identifying current AI use, selecting approved tools, creating prohibited-information rules, adopting an AI use policy, testing low-risk workflows, and establishing review and logging procedures. The objective is controlled adoption—not firm-wide automation in a month.
The AI Readiness Checklist helps firms assess whether their data privacy controls, tool settings, staff training, workflow selection, review procedures, client communication practices, and task-level risk controls are ready for AI adoption.
The customizable AI Use Policy Template provides a foundation for governing AI use by lawyers, employees, contractors, assistants, and other service providers. It defines approved and unapproved tools, establishes review responsibilities, and reinforces the rule that AI output remains a draft until it has been reviewed, verified, and approved by the responsible lawyer.
The Do Not Use AI for This Checklist helps practitioners recognize situations in which AI should not be used casually, including final legal advice, unverified court documents, confidential information entered into unapproved tools, unchecked legal citations, and work requiring jurisdiction-specific legal judgment.
The AI Vendor Due Diligence Questionnaire provides an audit-ready framework for evaluating AI vendors before procurement. It addresses data residency, sub-processors, model providers, secondary data use, retention, security assurance, tenant isolation, accuracy, source traceability, intellectual property, contractual change controls, business continuity, and exit procedures.
The Prompt Library for Solo Lawyers includes practical, Canadian-focused prompts for intake summaries, client email rewrites, meeting preparation, chronologies, document checklists, billing narratives, marketing content, clause comparisons, negotiation preparation, and other legal operations tasks. Each workflow is designed around de-identification, lawyer review, and responsible use.
The AI Strategy Consultant Interview Scorecard provides a structured framework for assessing any consultant, vendor, or advisor a firm engages to assist with AI adoption. It sets out the questions to ask, the answers that should raise concern, and a comparable scoring method, so procurement decisions rest on documented criteria rather than a sales conversation.
