Compare · Predict vs Settlement evaluators

$1,500 a case, or $499 for the whole month.

Predict is a case-value model for plaintiff PI attorneys: enter the facts of a motor-vehicle or premises case and get a jurisdiction-tuned gross case value — before attorney fees, case costs, and liens — shown with its confidence band, in about 60 seconds. Third-party settlement-evaluation firms and boutique valuation shops produce a hand-written memo per case. The work is real. The economics only make sense on the rare case where the memo justifies its own price.

Time to a defensible number

The evaluator-firm workflow is slow because a human is doing the analysis — which is also why it costs $1,500.

Where the evaluator firm is still worth a call.

Predict is the valuation spine on every case — the high-value ones most of all, because that's where a defensible number matters most. An evaluator memo isn't the tier above Predict; it's an optional second read for the rare case that is genuinely novel: a fact pattern with almost no precedent, where judgment outside the data is the whole point. On those, Predict will tell you the comparable cohort is thin and the band is wide — and that's exactly the case where paying $1,500 for a senior analyst to stress-test the number is the right call.

For every other case — including the high-value ones with a real cohort behind them — paying $1,500 and waiting two weeks for a memo is friction that keeps the workflow stuck. Predict gives you a defensible, banded number on all of them, and frees the $1,500 for the rare outlier that actually needs a human read.

Across a held-out test set, Predict reaches 90–92% median accuracy (MdAPE) against the realized settlement on higher-value cases — 88–92% on MVA and 87–93% on premises liability. Every number is a gross case value, before attorney fees, case costs, and liens. The band is the methodology, not a disclaimer: it's built on comparable verdicts and settlements across the jurisdictions we cover, and it widens, on the page, wherever that cohort thins. The number is the headline; the band shows how sure the model is.
