Evaluation rubric
What should decide the shortlist

Letters and agreements
Matter can convert your existing branded letters and agreements into reusable templates and send service agreements for electronic signature.
Automation with a clear outcome
Check whether reminders reduce chasing and whether clients understand the requested changes. A feature label does not prove the workflow is finished.
The whole engagement
Document work should connect to CRM, notes, team tasks, calendars, communication, and billing. Matter covers these together.
Security and backup
Matter has CASA Tier 3 certification and backup to customer-owned Google Drive or OneDrive. Review the evidence and control each product offers.
