  > “you need to be able to trace all of your trajectories that are happening in production.” — Ronak Malde · [10:49](https://realalpha.app/v/32vxW6GMeLY/?t=649)
- [Harvey raised its legal benchmark score from 4% to 18%](https://realalpha.app/s/harvey-raised-its-legal-benchmark-score-from-4-to-18/)
  Training Data · Nov 5, 2026 · 4 min
  Harvey used Trajectory to train an open-source model that moved from 4% to 18% on its legal benchmark, at six times lower cost than frontier models. Its domain data lets it improve beyond general-purpose systems.
- [Malde sees specialization lifting AI adoption from 1% to 99%](https://realalpha.app/s/malde-sees-specialization-lifting-ai-adoption-from-1-to-99/)

  > “we get to a world of specialization where everyone can basically customize every single part of the harness, the model, and that's where we get to a world of abundance.” — Ronak Malde · [30:46](https://realalpha.app/v/32vxW6GMeLY/?t=1846)
