 You can’t measure this with [[metric]]s of [[key performance indicators]]. Unavoidable legal process — things like customer [[contract negotiation]] — can certainly be streamlined, widgetised, productionised, but once that is done, it becomes an operational function, not a legal one, and [[legal]]’s contribution to its ongoing success, again can only be measured in ''silhouette'': how ''infrequently'' legal is obliged thereafter to get involved.
-Hence, the best way of measuring inhouse legal value is also by its silhouette: just as a business cannot count the ways that its [[inhouse lawyer]]s sprinkle their ineffable magic on its risk management, it certainly ''can'' count the ways it is prevented from doing so by quotidian distractions: the time spent box-ticking, form-filling, meeting-attending and re-advising the business on things it is, fundamentally, the business’s job already to know. These [[key non-performance indicator|key ''non''-performance indicators]] could easily be counted and presented to the [[Opco]] on an attractive [[slide]], replete with [[RAG status]]es, graphs and pie charts.

 But ''are'' they, in any organisation on the planet?
