For a Project Validation using Elusion Only, a fixed sample of documents is created from which set of documents?

In a Project Validation using Elusion Only, the process focuses on assessing a specific subset of documents based on the target objective of the validation. The correct approach is to create a fixed sample from the Discard Pile. The Discard Pile consists of documents that have been deemed irrelevant or non-responsive, and evaluating this set allows for an efficiency check on the actual filtering processes conducted previously.

When validating projects, especially in the context of e-discovery or document review, it is crucial to know how effectively documents have been sorted. This is done by taking a sample from the set of documents that were discarded, as these documents can highlight whether important material may have potentially been overlooked or misclassified during the review process. The focus on the Discard Pile ensures that validation efforts are directed at assessing decision-making efficiencies regarding documents that were set aside rather than those that were reviewed affirmatively.

Using a different set, such as all documents in the workspace or a statistical sample, would not effectively isolate the issues or faults in the filtering process that the validation aims to measure. Thus, drawing from the Discard Pile is integral to honing in on the accuracy of the review methodology employed during the project.
