Managing active learning projects in Relativity involves frequent reference to the active learning Document Rank Distribution histogram view to understand project status and projected documents remaining for review. Alston & Bird’s Alston Analytics team developed the MetaHistogram custom tab in Relativity to visualize and investigate the evolution of these Rank Distribution Histograms throughout the document review lifecycle. Users can view an animated history of the whole project, filter to particular subsets or dates, compare how changes to the rank cutoff could affect remaining review time and production volume, and understand when documents were added to the project and how that impacted the rank distribution. This provides both a valuable reference tool on existing projects and a visually compelling story to demonstrate the effectiveness of active learning in presentations to prospective future teams.
