If Thomson Reuters is smart, they should try to acquihire the 3 founders so they can at least return their investors’ capital and make a bit of money themselves. Then they should turn the tech into a feature of their legal research service. There is obviously a lot of promise in using ML techniques to assist lawyers in finding relevant cases, and it would probably be hard for them to recruit good entrepreneurial people in a stuffy old company like that. And as part of the company they could have unfettered access to all the Westlaw content they could want to train their system better.
