In a field driven by tight deadlines and complex data trails, the impulse is often to move fast. Isolate the facts. Deliver answers. But as Hunter McMahon and Bobbby Williams explore in The Value Of Experience Gained Through Curiosity and Pausing For Inclusion, there’s power in slowing down. In deliberately creating space—not just for analysis, but for conversation. For multiple voices. For true collaboration. That pause, applied with intention, becomes more than a moment—it becomes a strategy.

Every second, the world generates 3,800 terabytes of data. By 2025, we’ll cross 180 zettabytes annually—numbers so large, they can lose meaning. The result? Some of us are drowning in data. It’s not just information anymore; it’s noise, distracting us from what really matters. But inside that noise, there are stories—the ones that drive decisions, actions, and outcomes. Stories that need to be found. To find them, we need to cut through the noise.

At iDS, we understand that curiosity isn’t just a habit—it’s a strategy. Hunter McMahon, iDS’ COO, brought this mindset to his contribution in Forbes, where 20 top tech executives shared their thoughts on the real-time benefits of AI. Hunter’s message is simple: AI isn’t merely about finding answers—it’s about asking the right questions. In a world drowning in data, the real advantage lies not in accumulating more information, but in using AI to ask better questions.

The impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) permeates every aspect of our daily lives, leaving an indelible mark on everything from autonomous driving to personalized consumer experiences. Given its pervasive influence, it’s evident that the legal industry stands at the forefront of AI integration, recognizing its pivotal role in maintaining a competitive edge. In fact, data is not just growing, but growing fast. The sheer volume of data is, in short, overwhelming.

Embracing pro bono work holds an unequivocal significance for myriad reasons. Within iDS, our commitment to pro bono endeavors stems from a profound belief: the preservation of justice demands nothing less. We ardently advocate for the inclusion of data analytics in legal proceedings, recognizing its pivotal role in uncovering truths that might otherwise remain obscured. Central to our ethos is the conviction that justice should be accessible to all.

In order to meet the needs of our clients for a rapid response to critical incidents characterized by legal risk, iDS developed the Special Investigations Unit (SIU). With speed, efficiency, and expertise, our SIU can assist you with criminal acts, government investigations, employee misconduct, or a pressing need for critical information. Our SIU is a specialized team dedicated to providing rapid response and expert investigative services in critical incidents.

Our client was the defendant in a putative class action in which plaintiffs sought to be paid overtime for alleged delays in entering the facility through security checkpoints. Our client needed a way to collect and review years of video footage to look at security entrances and measure exactly how long it took employees to get through security checkpoints. Specifically, the client had several questions that needed to be answered: What (if any) delays were there during busy periods?

An established path for optimal outcomes. Who we are. What we do. How we do it. Experts at becoming experts. The purpose behind the process. A unified path that defines who we are. CONSULTATIVE EXPERTS At iDS, our team of subject matter experts and data strategists serve as guides to corporations and law firms around the world – helping to provide solutions to data problems and provide testimony to support our recommendations and findings when needed.

From the beginning of an engagement, iDS is prepared to testify by building security walls between its experts. The testifying expert team is not privy to information. Clients can be assured that the team is always on standby if their expert testimony is required. There is no confusion of privileged information. This is a benefit of the STEPS process and is a provided service, ensuring that iDS always has a reserve team at the ready.
