Scout, BD Intelligence for Law Firms

Your next mandate is already in the news. Scout finds it before your competitors do.

Law firms lose business development to timing. A regulatory change, an enforcement action, a market move creates a need at a client or a target, and by the time a partner reads about it, someone else has made the call. Scout closes that gap: every morning it reviews your configured regulatory and market sources, matches what changed to your practice areas and people, and posts each opportunity into Teams with the rationale, a suggested first move, and a draft the partner controls. Nothing is ever sent on a partner's behalf.

In action

The morning briefing, as your partners get it

Illustrative cards, real shape: this is exactly how Scout arrives in Microsoft Teams. Opportunities scored and matched to practice areas, the reasoning in plain language, a first move already drafted, and a record of what the firm acted on.

What Scout does

From the day's news to a partner's next move

Monitors continuously

Scout ingests the regulatory sources, enforcement actions, and market news relevant to your practice areas. You define the sources; Scout does the reading.

Turns news into opportunities

Each item is scored for business development relevance, mapped to the right partner and client, and arrives with a drafted outreach the partner can edit or discard.

Briefs the firm every morning

Opportunities land in a Teams channel as short briefings: what happened, why it matters to a specific client or target, and the next step to take. No dashboard to check, no new login.

Spots cross-sell

When one event touches several practice areas or clients, Scout flags the partners who should coordinate before anyone picks up the phone.

Tracks what gets acted on

One tap logs an action, drafts the email, or loops in a colleague, so business development becomes something the firm can see and measure.

Where it runs

Your tenant. Your data. Your record.

Scout is a managed Power Platform solution that deploys from AppSource into your firm's own Microsoft 365 tenant and runs on the licenses you already pay for. It is built for firms whose confidentiality obligations are not negotiable.

Data stays in your SharePoint

Ingested items, opportunities, and the action log live in your firm's SharePoint. They are your records, in your tenant, under your governance.

No standing access for 3DH

After deployment, 3DH holds no standing access to your environment. Connections are owned by your firm.

Processing inside your Microsoft boundary

Scout processes within your Microsoft 365 tenant, subject to Microsoft's EU Data Boundary commitments where applicable.

The partner stays in control

Scout proposes; people decide. Every draft is reviewed, edited, or discarded by the partner. Nothing reaches a client without a human sending it.

Scout is not a replacement for Microsoft Copilot. It adds the vertical layer Copilot does not ship: defined legal and regulatory sources, firm-specific matching, delivery into Teams, and a record of what was acted on.

Pricing

Priced against your Microsoft bill, not against enterprise BD platforms

Scout is priced per partner, per month, with pricing set for each market and shown live on the AppSource listing. No platform fee, no implementation project, no annual lock-in: it runs on the Microsoft 365 licenses your firm already pays for.

The arithmetic a managing partner cares about: one additional mandate pays for the year. A 30-day free trial is available on the listing, so the first briefings cost nothing.

Questions law firms actually ask

Where does our data live?

In your firm's own Microsoft 365 tenant. Ingested items, opportunities, and the action log are stored in your SharePoint. Scout is a managed Power Platform solution; it does not copy your data to 3DH or to any third-party platform.

Does Scout contact our clients?

No. Scout drafts and proposes; a partner reviews, edits, and sends, or discards. Nothing is ever sent on a partner's behalf.

Does it replace Microsoft Copilot?

No. Copilot is a general assistant. Scout is a vertical business development layer: defined regulatory and market sources, matching against your practice areas and people, morning delivery into Teams, and an action log. The two coexist in the same tenant.

How is it deployed?

From Microsoft AppSource, as a managed Power Platform solution, into your own tenant. A 30-day free trial is available. Guided onboarding from 3DH is available if your firm prefers it, but self-serve installation is the standard path.

What does it cost?

Scout is priced per partner, per month, with the exact price for your market shown on the AppSource listing. A 30-day free trial is included, and for larger firms and founding-reference arrangements, talk to 3DH directly.

Who is behind Scout?

3DH Consulting, a Microsoft partner working with European SMBs and professional-services firms on Microsoft 365, AI adoption, and EU compliance. Scout passed Microsoft's AppSource certification for Power Platform applications.
