You're already doing this work. By hand.

Every firm tracks engagement completeness — spreadsheets, checklists, quality teams manually reviewing files. The rules are already defined. The problem is the manual effort to enforce them.

Hours of manual checking

Staff spend hours each week cross-referencing checklists and tracking who needs to sign what.

Endless reminders

Reminder after reminder. Emails get buried. The same people fall behind every cycle.

Last-minute scrambles

Issues surface at partner review. Deadlines slip while teams scramble to complete sign-offs.

Same rules. Zero manual effort.

Tellen codifies your existing completion requirements and enforces them automatically — directly in your . No new software for your team to learn.

1

Codify your existing rules

You already know what's required — partner sign-offs, specific documents, review sequences. We translate those into automated rules by engagement type.

2

Continuous monitoring

Tellen continuously scans engagements against your rules and surfaces issues the moment they appear — not weeks later at partner review.

3

Automated follow-up

Staff get actionable alerts directly in their engagement platform with links to resolve issues. Partners see firm-wide status at a glance.
