Accelerator Recipe Cards define how different accelerators and sample configuration can be combined to support specific areas of legal work.

While individual accelerators provide distinct solutions for particular processes or operational capabilities, most legal practice areas require multiple processes working together. Recipe Cards bring these components together to form a collection of accelerators and sample configuration that can form the foundation for implementing a practice area solution.

You can think of Accelerators as the ingredients, and Recipe Cards as the recipe that combines those ingredients into a practical solution.

Example: Personal Injury Recipe Card

A Personal Injury practice area implementation may require a combination of common accelerators, practice-specific accelerators and sample ‘starter’ work types for things like instructions and matters, this is to provide the ability to visualise and demo what an implemented solution could look like.

A Personal Injury Recipe Card might include:

Common accelerators:

• Proceedings
• Offers
• Forms of Authority (FOA) & Record Requests
• Managing Witnesses

Personal Injury specific accelerators:

• Managing CRU
• Personal Injury limitation date calculator

Sample Configuration:

• A sample personal injury instruction work type, including sample participant roles, key dates, portal, etc.
• A sample personal injury matter work type, including sample participant roles, key dates, portal, etc.
• Sample data capture such as injury details
• Sample budgets for capturing claimed amounts/reserves

Together, these components form a foundation for designing and implementing a Personal Injury practice area, which can then be tailored to reflect the firm’s specific processes, policies, and regulatory requirements.

Guidance, Not Prescriptive Solutions

Recipe Cards are intended to provide guidance and inspiration, rather than prescriptive implementation designs.

Different firms structure their processes in different ways, and organisations should review the accelerators listed within a Recipe Card to determine:

• Which accelerators are relevant to their needs
• How those accelerators should be adapted
• What additional configuration may be required

Recipe Cards should therefore be viewed as illustrative combinations of accelerators that help guide implementation planning.

By showing how accelerators can be combined into practical solutions, Recipe Cards help firms:

• Visualise how practice area solutions can be assembled
• Identify relevant accelerators more quickly
• Design practice-specific solutions more efficiently
• Accelerate overall implementation planning

Together with Accelerators, Recipe Cards form part of the Implementation Acceleration approach, helping organisations implement Clio Operate with greater speed, structure, and confidence.
