The challenge
Preparing a case begins before a form is completed. First comes the information that gives the document its content. That information then supports the preparation work. These are connected tasks, each with its own place in the process.
The software challenge is to organize that relationship. Intake and form preparation need a shared context centered on the work being done. For Canto Legal, that context is the EB-2 NIW case.
This project takes a specialized need and gives it a custom tool: a workspace where initial information and forms belong to the same preparation process. The starting point is the work itself and the connection between its two parts.
