Acquit gets smarter over time: when many users map the same abbreviation to the same thing, or mark the same word as not court-related, that mapping graduates into the system defaults. New users, and existing users who never set the mapping themselves, then get it for free.
Promotion thresholds
- Court location and appearance type abbreviations: promoted once at least ten different users have mapped them to the same meaning, with no disagreement or correction history.
- Exclusion keywords: words five or more users have marked as not court-related (think holiday, gym, haircut) start being filtered automatically.
- Venue qualifiers: words like DPP, registry, chambers or Legal Aid that mean an event happens near a court without being an appearance. Once enough users agree, events mentioning them are treated that way automatically.
What changes for you
- An abbreviation you never mapped may start resolving to the correct court.
- An event that used to be flagged as a court date may now be filtered out automatically.
- Your own manual mappings always win: if you’ve mapped SP to something specific for your firm, community defaults don’t override it.
New promotions roll out weekly. If a promoted abbreviation resolves incorrectly for your firm, use Report Wrong Match on the affected court date; the correction is logged and the default can be rolled back or adjusted.
