This page lists three turns, the messages you send to the AI one after another in the same chat, and then a check of the answer. Keep it open next to your chat. Each turn shows the next thing to paste, with the values you entered already filled in. Nothing is sent from this page, and your conversation stays in the AI tool you are using.
Claims, posture, the two or three facts that drive value, and where discovery stands.
The number on the table now and the method behind it: verdict model, multiple of specials, fee calculation, or the client's stated floor.
The court, and any fee-shifting, offer-of-judgment, or interest rule that changes the arithmetic.
Insurer and limits, balance sheet, defense arrangement, who signs, whether they are a repeat player.
Mediation date, client's stated floor, funding, and anything that limits your moves.
Watch for these throughout
The model does not know verdict values in your venue and will produce confident ranges anyway. Treat every number in the analysis as a placeholder until you check comparable verdicts and settlements yourself.
Fee-shifting, offer-of-judgment consequences, prejudgment interest, and taxable costs change the arithmetic completely and vary by jurisdiction and by contract. Confirm which apply before relying on any net figure.
Settlement analysis is work product and settlement numbers are the most sensitive material in the file. Keep this out of anything shared with the client's business team or with systems that are discoverable.
The model treats the other side as a rational economic actor. Many are not: an angry principal, an insurer in a coverage fight, or a defendant who cannot afford the precedent will pay well above or well below the model.
Client authority is not something the model can infer. Confirm your actual authority in writing before mediation; a number this analysis calls rational may be one your client will not fund.
