How Claw Detects a New Court Filing, and How Fast (2026)
Monitoring is only useful if you can say how fast it works and how often it is wrong, so this page states both for Claw, as measured figures rather than adjectives. It explains the mechanism that finds a newly filed case against a company or person you are watching, how often Claw scans the forums, the average and worst-case delay before a new matter reaches you, and how accurately a name is matched. None of these numbers is flattering by accident. The scan cadence, the detection lag and the match accuracy are stated so you can judge the monitoring against your own risk tolerance, and the limits are stated alongside them. Last verified October 2026.

01What detection actually means
A litigation check at one moment tells you what exists today. Monitoring is the harder job: learning that a new case has been filed against a party you already screened, after you have made the decision to lend, invest or onboard.
Detection is the gap between a case appearing on a court or tribunal portal and that matter surfacing against the name you are watching. Two numbers describe how good detection is: how often the forums are re-checked, and how long after a filing appears it reaches you. Both are below.
02How often Claw scans
Claw re-checks the forums for watched parties twice a day, five days a week. A new matter that appears on a source portal is picked up on the next scan, not at some unspecified "real time" that cannot be verified.
Stating the cadence plainly matters because it sets honest expectations. A filing that lands late on a Friday is picked up when scanning resumes, which is why the worst-case latency below is measured in days, not hours.
03How fast a new matter surfaces
Measured from a filing appearing on the source portal to Claw surfacing it against a watched name:
| Measure | Latency |
|---|---|
| Typical (average) | About 2 hours |
| Worst case | Up to 2 days |
The average of about 2 hours reflects the twice-daily scan catching most filings on the same working day. The worst case of up to 2 days reflects a filing that lands just after a scan, or over a non-scanning day, and waits for the next pass. Both figures are as of 17 October 2026.
Why the worst case is published too
An average on its own flatters any monitoring system. The number that protects a credit or investment decision is the worst case, because that is the window in which a newly filed recovery suit or insolvency petition could exist against a borrower before you see it. Published honestly, 2 days is the figure to plan around.
04How accurately a name is matched
The second number that decides whether monitoring is useful is match accuracy: when Claw ties a case to the party you are watching, how often is it the right party. Claw's measured name and entity match accuracy is 94 percent, as of 17 October 2026.
Ninety-four percent is stated rather than rounded up to "highly accurate" because the remaining share is the part you must handle in your process. Common names, shared directors and similar entity names are where a match needs a human to confirm the identifier (a company number, a parentage, an address) before the result is treated as real exposure.
05Why a match is never certainty
The figures above describe speed and accuracy, not a guarantee. The honest limits travel with them:
- A result that returns nothing means nothing was found on the forums and date scanned. It is not a certificate that no case exists.
- A 94 percent match rate means a minority of matches need identity confirmation before you act, especially for common names.
- A litigation signal is a risk input, not a credit score and not legal advice. It tells you where to look, not what to decide.
- Depth varies by forum and source portal, so a quiet forum is not the same as a clean party.
06Monitoring a portfolio with Claw
Claw is an all-in-one legaltech platform for Indian advocates, law firms, and corporate legal teams, combining AI-based case search, an AI legal assistant (Legal GPT), case management, and compliance automation across all Indian courts and tribunals.
For a single party, monitoring runs quietly in the background and alerts you when a new matter is detected. For a book of borrowers, vendors or portfolio companies, the same twice-daily scan runs across every watched name, so a new filing against any of them reaches you within the latency stated above rather than at the next manual review. The scored risk search, ClawScore, starts at Rs 500 per search plus monitoring, and results return in under 5 seconds.

08Frequently asked questions
How quickly does Claw detect a newly filed case?
On average about 2 hours from the filing appearing on the source portal to Claw surfacing it against a watched party, with a worst case of up to 2 days, as of 17 October 2026. Claw scans the forums twice a day, five days a week, so a filing that lands just after a scan waits for the next pass.
How often does Claw scan the courts?
Twice a day, five days a week, for every party under monitoring.
How accurate is the name matching?
Measured name and entity match accuracy is 94 percent as of 17 October 2026. The remaining share is where a match needs a human to confirm the identity, which is most common with shared or common names.
Does monitoring guarantee I will never miss a case?
No. It finds what is on the covered forums and reports it within the latency above. A nil result means nothing was found on the forums and date scanned, not that no case exists, and a litigation signal is a risk input, not legal advice or a credit score.
Can Claw monitor a whole portfolio at once?
Yes. The twice-daily scan runs across every watched name, so a new filing against any borrower, vendor or portfolio company surfaces within the stated latency rather than at the next manual review.
