How we know the number holds

On a held-out test set of cases the model never trained on, Predict's valuations come within 90 to 92% of the realized settlement (median absolute percentage error), each shown with a 90% confidence band. The number is the headline; the band is the methodology. See the full validation and per-state calibration →

What the free prediction includes, and what the trial adds

The number above is a real prediction from the Predict model, jurisdiction-tuned to Illinois and shown with its 90% confidence band. The free version uses the primary signals: case type, jurisdiction, injury severity, and liability. The 14-day trial loads your actual intake case and adds the comparable-verdict cohort behind the number, firm-level counsel history, and judge-composition signals, then exports a demand-ready summary. Same model. More of your case in it. Start the trial to load a real case from your intake pipeline.
