FOIA requests are traditionally paper intensive processes requiring a comprehensive search of electronic and paper documents originating from many different classes of requestor. The inefficiencies, errors, need for review and redaction, and lack of reliable statuses make the process of FOIA fulfillment expensive and steeped in risk. Yearly reporting requirements add to the detail needing to be maintained, further increasing organizational overhead.
