Why it matters

The other side already knows these numbers

Plaintiff firms learn from every case they settle. Defense counsel usually starts each matter from zero. The terms are public, but they are scattered across thousands of court filings and LWDA submissions. The Vector Index™ puts them side by side.

Without settlement data

  • Authority set from a rule of thumb or the statutory maximum
  • Mediators chosen on reputation and word of mouth
  • Reserves estimated without the firm's track record
  • Opposing counsel knows its history. You don't.

Benchmarks, not rules of thumb

"About $30 to $45 a workweek" is not a comparable

Settlement authority is often set on a rule of thumb with no source. The Vector Index™ shows what comparable California matters actually settled for, by plaintiff firm, mediator, case type, and workforce size.
