Systems, methods, and devices of the present disclosure generate adaptive templates for different case types and leverage those templates to ascertain whether case files are sufficiently complete to support desired outcomes. The systems described herein can detect patterns in cases that have been marked as complete, add indicia of those patterns to the adaptive templates, and compare as-yet incomplete case files to the templates to identify and suggest specific types of data that can be added to the incomplete case files to increase the likelihood that those incomplete case files will contain sufficient data to support a desired outcome. Furthermore, the systems described herein are able to adapt the templates and the parameters used therein over time as laws and legal precedents evolve without being reprogrammed.
