What does the elusion rate estimate?

The elusion rate is a metric used in document review processes, particularly in the context of e-discovery and analytics. It estimates the number of uncoded documents that are actually relevant to a particular case or issue.

This is important for understanding the effectiveness of the review process and identifying how many potentially relevant documents are being missed (or eluded) by the reviewing team. By assessing the elusion rate, legal teams can better gauge their review thoroughness and make strategic decisions about how to improve their document analysis practices.

Other options focus on different aspects such as speed, pile size, or overall relevance rates, which do not specifically address the core concept of the elusion rate as it directly relates to identifying uncoded but relevant documents.
