# eDiscovery Decoder

> Agent-ranked eDiscovery AI news, technology-assisted review (TAR) calculators, a TAR glossary, and a curated reference library. Educational material, not legal advice.

TAR calculations and news are available to agents through a free, read-only MCP server at https://mcp.ediscoverydecoder.com/mcp (no login). See the MCP server setup page for supported tools.

## Calculators
- [eDiscovery prevalence and sample results calculator](https://ediscoverydecoder.com/calculators/prevalence-results/): Estimate prevalence, confidence bounds, responsive volume, and review burden from an eDiscovery random sample.
- [Elusion and recall calculator](https://ediscoverydecoder.com/calculators/elusion-recall/): Estimate elusion, remaining responsive material, and recall from validation sample results.
- [Richness and yield calculator](https://ediscoverydecoder.com/calculators/richness-yield/): Estimate collection richness, projected responsive volume, and review yield from reviewed results.
- [Precision, recall, and F1 calculator](https://ediscoverydecoder.com/calculators/precision-recall-f1/): Calculate precision, recall, and F1 from true-positive, false-positive, and false-negative counts.
- [Control-set recall calculator](https://ediscoverydecoder.com/calculators/control-recall/): Validate recall against the responsive portion of a control set and communicate the result clearly.
- [Culling impact calculator](https://ediscoverydecoder.com/calculators/culling-impact/): Compare non-responsive removal with responsive loss to evaluate the selectivity of a culling decision.
