Relationship Intelligence & Calendar

These two features help you stay on top of the people and schedule around a matter: Relationship Intelligence monitors the contacts that matter and surfaces relevant news, and the Calendar keeps your events together with a briefing on who you're meeting.

Relationship Intelligence

Relationship Intelligence tracks the contacts connected to your work — opposing counsel, executives, counterparties, advisors — and aggregates relevant alerts (such as news) about them. It works across matters.

Alerts are grouped by how much attention they need (for example: needs attention, opportunities, market intel, and caught up), each showing its source, headline, sentiment, category, and a relevance signal. You can mark alerts as read, acted‑on, or dismissed, and filter what you see.

A Contacts view holds the underlying relationship database you can browse and maintain.

Communication analytics

Related to relationships, communication analytics analyze the communications within a matter — who talked to whom, email threads and patterns, and anomalies. These help you understand the human network in the evidence and spot unusual activity. Emma can answer the same questions conversationally (see Emma).

Calendar

The Calendar brings your matter‑related events into one place — interviews, sessions, depositions, and manual events — and can sync with an external calendar provider (such as Google Calendar or Microsoft 365) when enabled.

A distinctive touch is the relationship briefing: when you look at an event's attendees, Sentinel enriches each attendee with what it knows from Relationship Intelligence — their company, title, recent news, and last outreach — so you walk into a meeting prepared.

You can create events scoped to a matter and add attendees. Calendar sync settings control which provider (if any) to connect.

Tips

• Use Relationship Intelligence to keep tabs on opposing counsel and key players without manually trawling the news.
• Connect your calendar so the attendee briefing can do its job before each meeting.
• Ask Emma about communication patterns ("who did the CFO email most around the closing?") rather than building the analysis by hand.
