## What happens after the intake form is submitted

Pipeline CRM is useful. The hidden burden starts after submission: missing documents, client chase work, urgency, and whether the matter is actually ready for legal work.

### 1. Submitted intake becomes a prepared matter path

Intakit turns intake into a workflow with missing information, follow-through, and readiness context instead of a status column.

### 2. The client does not disappear into manual chasing

Documents, forms, and unfinished steps stay visible while the system keeps momentum alive.

### 3. Clio can stay the record system

Intakit handles readiness around intake and syncs into Clio so firms do not have to choose between order and momentum.

## Why Firms Choose Intakit

- Turns submitted intake into a prepared matter instead of a pipeline card
