Cutting Through the Noise in Document Review with SignatureSweep

The Challenge: Signature File Overload Slowing Review

A national litigation firm handling a large-scale email review project encountered an all-too-common issue: hundreds of thousands of digital signature images were being extracted as attachments during processing in Relativity. These repetitive, non-substantive files inflated document counts, cluttered workspaces, and distracted reviewers from focusing on meaningful content.

With more than a million emails in play, the volume of signature files posed a serious risk to both review speed and cost control.

The Solution: SignatureSweep

To streamline review and eliminate unnecessary noise, the firm implemented SignatureSweep, Page One’s purpose-built solution for managing signature clutter in Relativity environments.

SignatureSweep helped the team:

• Identify and flag common signature graphics across the dataset

• Detect near-duplicate signature files, not just exact matches

• Suppress non-substantive documents from active review queues

• Apply bulk suppression rules with minimal manual effort

• Customize thresholds to match case-specific sensitivity and needs

The process was seamless, efficient, and highly effective - allowing reviewers to concentrate on what truly mattered: the content of the communications.

The Outcome: Clarity, Speed & Cost Savings

The results spoke for themselves: SignatureSweep suppressed nearly 100,000 signature files from a single case, accelerating review metrics, reducing cost, and creating an improved focus on relevant, substantive content.

SignatureSweep turned digital clutter into competitive advantage—reducing document volume without sacrificing defensibility.
