The product

What Scout does

You read the same news as every other firm. What counts is who calls the client first.

  1. Reads the news for youScout reads the regulatory sources, enforcement actions and market news you define for your practice areas.
  2. Turns news into opportunitiesEach item is scored for business development relevance, matched to the right partner and client, and arrives with a draft the partner can edit or discard.
  3. Briefs the firm every morningOpportunities land in a Teams channel as short briefings on what happened, why it matters to a client or target and the next step, with no dashboard and no new login.
  4. Sees when two practices should talkWhen one event touches several practice areas or clients, Scout flags the partners who should coordinate before anyone picks up the phone.
  5. Shows what was followed upOne tap logs an action, drafts the email or brings in a colleague, so the firm can see which opportunities were followed up.

Your data

It runs inside your own Microsoft 365

Scout is a managed Power Platform solution. It installs from AppSource into your firm's own Microsoft 365 tenant and runs on the licences you already pay for.

Your Microsoft 365

Data stays in your SharePoint

Every item Scout reads, every opportunity and every action taken is stored in your firm's SharePoint. They are your records, in your tenant, under your governance.

No ongoing access for 3DH

After setup, 3DH keeps no access to your environment. Your firm owns the connections.

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 only suggests. A partner reviews, edits or discards every draft, and nothing reaches a client unless a person sends it.

Pricing

Per partner, per month, price on AppSource

It runs on the firm's existing Microsoft 365 licences. There's no platform fee or implementation project, and no annual contract.

One additional mandate pays for the year.

FAQ

Questions law firms ask

Where does our data live?

In your firm's own Microsoft 365, in your SharePoint. Nothing is copied to 3DH or anywhere else.

Does Scout contact our clients?

No. A partner reviews every draft and sends it or discards it.

Does it replace Microsoft Copilot?

No. Copilot is a general assistant; Scout is built for business development in law firms. They work side by side in the same Microsoft 365.

How is it deployed?

From Microsoft AppSource, into your own Microsoft 365, with a 30-day free trial. Most firms install it themselves. If you'd rather I set it up with you, I will.

What does it cost?

Per partner, per month. The price for your market is on the AppSource listing, and there's a 30-day free trial. For larger firms, write to me and we'll agree on a price.

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.
