The Sedona Principles — Best Practices for Electronic Document Production

The Sedona Principles — Best Practices for Electronic Document Production — 100% of in-scope requirements covered.

3 requirements · 2 in scope (2 enforced) · 1 out-of-scope (outside KYE™’s authority layer). The 100% is weighted over the in-scope base.

The Sedona Principles: requirement → the KYE™ artefact that enforces it

Source: The Sedona Principles, Third Edition (The Sedona Conference, 2018) are the leading consensus best-practice commentary on the production of electronically stored information in US litigation. Principle 6 holds that responding parties are best situated to evaluate and select the procedures, methodologies, and technologies for preserving and producing their own ESI — placing the burden of a defensible, documented process on the producing party. KYE Protocol™ governs whether an AI-assisted production / review process may PROCEED to a consequential litigation action with a recorded, reconstructable, replay-provable process record — so the producing party can demonstrate a defensible process when challenged. KYE™ does not select the review methodology or judge whether the production is substantively complete. · License: The Sedona Principles are published commentary of The Sedona Conference; KYE™ registry paraphrases the relevant principle's intent and cites it for mapping purposes only — no text is reproduced.
