Settlement Range Model™ · UNIONE™

A settlement range is useful only when the assumptions behind it are visible.

Settlement Range Model™ organises claim, counterclaim, cost, time, recovery and commercial-value assumptions into a negotiation range without pretending to calculate the tribunal’s future award.

What matters in this decision

Use this page to decide whether, when and how the organisation should escalate a live dispute.

This layer turns the page into a working decision map. Read the substantive analysis below, use the lenses to frame the issue, move sideways into connected UNIONE™ services, or ask the page-aware assistant to suggest a route through the institution.

Evidence / processEvidence

What exists, what is missing and what may still be preserved.

Current status / urgencyCommercial choice

Settle, restructure, mediate, evaluate or proceed.

Connected route / recoveryProcess economics

Time, cost, funding, security and recoverability before filing.

01 · Inputs

Build the range from explicit assumptions.

The model is a negotiation and governance tool, not a prediction engine.

Claim

What is the asserted value?

Principal, damages, interest and recoverable costs assumptions.

Counterclaim

What downside sits on the other side?

Defence, set-off, counterclaim and security exposure.

Process

What will continuing consume?

Legal spend, expert cost, management time, delay and interim cash effects.

Recovery

What is the value of collectibility?

Timing, security, assets, insolvency and enforcement uncertainty.

02 · Range design

Use more than one number.

Negotiation authority can distinguish aspiration, realistic resolution and walk-away considerations.

Opening / aspiration

Negotiation position.

A position justified by the claim and negotiation strategy, not necessarily the expected resolution point.

Resolution zone

Commercially rational settlement.

A range informed by merits, downside, cost, time and recovery assumptions.

Authority boundary

Decision threshold.

The point requiring a different internal approval or a decision to continue proceedings.

03 · No false probability

Do not turn uncertain litigation judgment into a decorative percentage.

The useful part is the assumptions and sensitivity.

Model boundary

The Settlement Range Model™ does not predict a tribunal outcome. It should show how the negotiation range changes if important assumptions-merits, counterclaim, cost, duration or recovery-change.

Deeper intelligence

A fuller decision view.

This page connects institutional pathways with deeper commercial and dispute analysis relevant to the decision.

What can move the score or the decision.

The framework should be refreshed when a material assumption changes.

Net rather than gross value should drive range.

Past spend is sunk; future spend belongs in decision.

Liability probability - Probability is assumption-driven, not objective truth.

The Negotiation Range

Convert raw matter information into a structured business decision.

Below this, expected net arbitration value may dominate.

Outcomes that can be rational for both sides under different assumptions.

Above this, expected adjudicated downside may be preferable.
