California settlement data, structured for negotiation.
PAGA Intelligence Reports on plaintiff firms and mediators, built from thousands of PAGA and class action settlements and updated every month.
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.
With the Vector Index™
- Authority anchored to what comparable cases actually settled for
- Mediators compared on documented outcomes, including against this firm
- Reserves sized per pay period and per workweek, scaled to your workforce
- You walk in knowing the firm's typical number

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.
