Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue Recognition Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to over the term
of the agreement, when control of the Company’s solutions are transferred to customers.
The Company recognizes revenue through the following five-step framework in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers:
(1)    Identification of the contract, or contracts with the customer;
(2)    Identification of performance obligations in the contract;
(3)    Determination of the transaction price;
(4)    Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract;
(5)    Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct solution to the customer. The Company identifies performance obligations in its contracts with customers, which primarily include usage-based and subscription solutions. Usage-based solutions include fees based on usage of the Company’s platform or professional services, incurred on a time and materials basis, while subscription solutions represent the purchase of a committed data volume on the Company’s platform over a period of time. The transaction price is determined based on the amount which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for providing the promised services to the customer. For contracts that include multiple performance obligations, the transaction price in the contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. Revenue is recognized over time as performance obligations are satisfied. Variable consideration is evaluated on a contract-by-contract basis, and a constraint is applied using the facts and circumstances of the contract when applicable. On a limited basis, the Company enters into contracts whereby the consideration payable is contingent upon the conclusion of the legal matter. The Company does not recognize the revenue related to these contracts until the legal matter is resolved. Such amounts recognized have been immaterial to date.
The Company’s software contracts do not allow the customer to take possession of the software supporting the cloud-based solution. Customers are not entitled to any refunds. The Company generally invoices its customers monthly, quarterly, or annually in advance and recognizes revenue ratably over the life of the contract.
The Company’s arrangements do not contain general rights of return. However, credits may be issued on a case-by-case basis. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in revenue or deferred revenue depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met.
Nature of Solutions
The Company’s revenue-generating activities directly relate to the sale and support of its legal solution within a single operating segment. The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers based on how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The Company has two primary types of contractual arrangements: usage-based and subscription solutions. Usage-based revenue is generated from solutions that are billed on a monthly basis and can be canceled with one month’s notice or are incurred on a time and materials basis. Subscription revenue is derived from contracts where customers are contractually committed to a fixed data volume over a period of time. Usage amounts above the fixed data volume are considered usage-based revenue. Subscription arrangements are billed in advance, typically on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis.
In the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, usage-based revenue represented 89% and 86% of total revenue, respectively. In the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, usage-based revenue represented 88% and 87% of our total revenue, respectively. In the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, subscription revenue fees represented 11% and 14% of the total revenue, respectively. In the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, subscription revenue fees represented 12% and 13% of total revenue, respectively.
No significant judgments are required in determining whether services are considered distinct performance obligations and should be accounted for separately versus together, or to determine the stand-alone selling price (“SSP”).
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue is recorded when a non-cancellable contractual right to bill exists or when cash payments are received in advance of future usage on non-cancelable contracts. Of the $1.6 million and $1.4 million of deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 respectively, the Company recognized $1.4 million and $1.1 million as revenue during the six
months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Company recorded $1.5 million and $1.6 million of current deferred revenue. The Company has no non-current deferred revenue as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Contract Assets
Contract assets represent revenue recognized for contracts that have not yet been invoiced to customers, but are billed in arrears and for which the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Total contract assets were $5.1 million and $1.5 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and were included within accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheets.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations (“RPO”) represent the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been recognized, including both deferred revenue and non-cancelable contracted amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. RPO exclude performance obligations from certain time and materials contracts that are billed in arrears. RPO are not necessarily indicative of future product revenue growth because they do not account for consumption in excess of contracted capacity.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company expects to recognize approximately $15.9 million of revenue from remaining performance obligations. The Company expects to recognize revenue of approximately $8.6 million as of June 30, 2021 from remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the remaining balance recognized thereafter.
Incremental Contract Costs
Incremental costs to obtain or fulfill a contract are recognized as an asset if the expected benefit is expected to be longer than one year. These assets are amortized over the expected period of benefit. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company identified no material incremental costs to obtain or fulfill a contract, primarily based on the nature and terms of the Company’s contracts, as well as the expected period of benefit.
