The rules these are built to

Four rules, published so a tool that breaks one is reportable.
RuleWhat it means in practice
Defensible arithmetic, visible assumptionsEvery tool has a "show the arithmetic" panel with the actual equations. You can reproduce any result on paper.
Your inputs, my modelI supply structure. Every number that drives a result comes from you, or from a cited federal dataset, never from an invented industry average.
No wall in front of the valueThe complete result appears on screen before anything is asked for. There is no email wall, no partial result, and no "unlock the full report".
Every result is a permalinkInputs are encoded in the URL. Forward it and a colleague sees the same numbers, which is how these get in front of the actual decision-maker.
How the seven tools connect. Market sizing feeds channel pricing; channel pricing and screening capacity feed cost per signed case; disposition modelling sits alongside. Market opportunityis there volume here? Keyword cost realitywhat does it cost to buy? Referral economicsretain, co-counsel, or refer? Screening capacitywhat is the ceiling? Intake scorecardis the conversion any good? Firm site auditis the landing pages and forms sound? Cost per signed casewhere all of it lands
Figure 1: six inputs, one answer. Every other tool here feeds the cost per signed case model. Run that one first if you only run one.
Which tool answers which question.
If you are asking…Run thisIt needs from you
Are I actually paying too much per case?Cost per signed caseSpend, inquiries, signed cases, screening cost
Why does more spend not produce more cases?Screening capacity plannerReviewer hours and hours per review
Is a $300 click ever rational?Keyword cost realityExpected fee, conversion rates
Is there enough volume in my market?Market opportunityA state; the rest is federal data
Should I take this matter or refer it?Referral economicsFee expectation, referral share, cost to litigate
Is my intake losing cases?Intake scorecardOne real recorded call and ten minutes
Is my website the problem?Firm site auditTwenty yes/no answers about your own site
The order to run them in. Five steps from market sizing to a decision, each mapped to one tool. 1 · Is there volume here at all?births, delivery capacity, legal capacity for your geographymarket opportunity 2 · What is my real ceiling?reviews per week, before anything upstream is sizedscreening capacity 3 · What are I actually paying per case?including the screening cost most reporting omitscost per signed case 4 · Where is it leaking?site, intake call, or bid pricesite audit · intake scorecard · keyword cost 5 · Retain, co-counsel, or refer?per matter and across the portfolioreferral economics Running step 3 before step 2 is the most common sequencing error, and it hides the real constraint.
Figure 2: run them in this order. Firms almost always start at step 3, get an uncomfortable number, and buy more demand. Step 2 usually explains the number, and it is free to run.
