Signal over noise.
Droplets is a daily distillation of what AmLaw 100 law firms published today, graded and summarized for the in-house reader who has to act on it.
What it is
Every morning our pipeline polls the public RSS feeds of the largest US law firms, reads each client alert, and keeps only the handful that genuinely matter to in-house counsel. The rest is marketing, routine updates, or noise, and it gets dropped.
How it works
Poll
Public RSS feeds from AmLaw 100 firms are ingested once a day. To grade an item, the page it links to is fetched once; nothing behind a login or a paywall is read, and a publisher that refuses the request is not retried. JD Supra pages are never fetched: those items are graded on the text of the JD Supra feed. Headlines and summaries are written by language models and may contain errors.
Grade
Each candidate is graded 1 to 5 for importance to in-house counsel. Grade 4 and 5 dispatches are written up in full; grade 3 items are kept as shorter also-noted entries. Grades 1 and 2 are dropped.
Summarize
The kept dispatches are condensed into a headline, a one-line hook (who must act and why), and a short neutral analysis.
File
Each dispatch lands under a single practice-area category and links straight back to the original firm publication.
Cadence
The pipeline runs once a day at 10:00 New York time. The site is live SSR, so a new day's digest appears the moment the run finishes, with no rebuild or redeploy. Yesterday's edition stays available in the archive at /browse.
What it isn't
Droplets aggregates publicly available RSS feeds and links back to the original publications. Nothing here is legal advice, and nothing here is a substitute for reading the source.
