Why law firms ask this
Missed deadlines start with a missed reminder. It usually surfaces the first time a real list goes out, when hearing reminders, document requests and appointment confirmations stop being a plan and become a send.
What it changes for you
Get this right and the outcome is clients who show up prepared. Get it wrong and the cost shows up quietly, in messages nobody read and money already spent.
Doing it in the platform
The compose screen shows the segment count, the cost and the sender name before anything leaves, so the decision is made before the money moves.
