Time tracking sucks and I applaud efforts to free people from having to do it manually, so best wishes.

I'm also concerned that automated time tracking is extremely close to automated surveillance and not only "productivity monitoring", but also "productivity judging". What do you think about this?

For users who are already mandated to track what they are working on in 6-minute intervals, "productivity monitoring and "productivity judging" are not NEW issues that a tool like this would introduce. That is actually one of the advantages of targeting the population of lawyers, rather than a more general population.

I think privacy for the end user is really important here, which means letting the user review and edit the time entries generated before they submit to the billing system. Ultimately we view this is a tool to help the end-user

Yeah, this is a big concern for us as well. We avoid any sort of "big brother" use of the application. The user controls what is released and available to both the firm and clients.
