Is Boromlia an eDiscovery tool?

No. It does no document review, processing or production, and no AI extraction. It is a chronology: dated, sourced facts you can filter, map, print and share.

Can I record a Bates number against each fact?

Yes, as text in the event’s source field, alongside anything else that locates the document. Boromlia does not number documents itself.

Can I sort the chronology like a spreadsheet?

Yes, on Advanced. The Log style shows one row per event with the columns you choose, sortable by any of them, and it follows the same filters as every other style.

DISCO Timelines alternative: Boromlia vs DISCO

Choose Boromlia if

The matter has no eDiscovery database: a few hundred documents, an employment dispute, an insurance claim.
You want a price you can read before you start, not a quote based on data processed.
You want a map of where events happened, and photos attached to the events they show.
Clients, experts or co-counsel should add facts with a free account through the share link (Advanced).

Stay with DISCO Timelines if

Your documents are already in DISCO and you want facts linked to the review database and deposition transcripts.
You want an AI first draft of the chronology from the complaint.

The main difference: a platform module versus a standalone chronology

DISCO Timelines earns its keep when the evidence is already loaded, processed and coded in DISCO. Many matters never get that far: a wrongful dismissal, a construction defect, a disputed insurance claim. For those, Boromlia is the whole tool. A Bates range or exhibit number goes in each entry’s source field, the custodian or witness goes under people, and the issue goes in a tag. On Advanced, the Log style turns the chronology into a sortable grid, beside the Ribbon and the printable Doc.
