Claim Valuation Engine™ · UNIONE™

A claim number is not a decision value.

Claim Valuation Engine™ decomposes a dispute into claimed amounts, counterclaims, evidence dependencies, procedural cost, timing, settlement scenarios, security and recoverability so management can see what drives the economics before filing.

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.

Issue / purposeMerits architecture

What legal and contractual propositions actually need to be proved.

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 · Decision architecture

Separate headline claim value from the economics that management should actually decide on.

The model should expose the components and assumptions rather than create a false single-number certainty.

Claim components

What amounts are actually asserted?

Principal, damages, interest, contractual adjustments and other legally supportable components.

Counter-position

What can reduce the claim?

Defences, counterclaims, set-off, mitigation, causation and disputed valuation.

Process cost

What will the route consume?

Legal, tribunal, expert, internal-management and evidence cost plus timing and disruption.

Recovery

What value is realistically reachable?

Security, counterparty condition, settlement capacity, assets and enforcement jurisdictions.

02 · Evidence & assumptions

Make every valuation component traceable to evidence or an explicit assumption.

The model should allow a decision-maker to change one assumption and understand what moves - without pretending the model predicts adjudication.

01

Claim schedule

Each component, legal basis, evidence source and calculation.

02

Counterclaim / defence

Competing amount, basis, evidence and dependency.

03

Scenario assumptions

Management / counsel assumptions stated visibly rather than hidden in a score.

04

Cost / time

Estimated procedural stages, professional cost and business-resource demand.

05

Recovery inputs

Security, counterparty, asset and jurisdiction assumptions relevant to cash realisation.

Value ≠ face amount

A USD 10 million claim and a USD 10 million decision are not the same thing.

The business should see what is claimed, what is disputed, what it will cost to pursue, how long value may remain locked up and what recovery depends upon.

03 · Decision routes

Use scenario comparison, not invented win probabilities.

The engine supports explicit choices without claiming to know how a tribunal will decide.

Claim scenario

Test the asserted economics.

Show what the claim is worth if the asserted components are accepted.

Downside scenario

Test the principal vulnerabilities.

Change disputed evidence, quantum, counterclaim, timing or recovery assumptions transparently.

Decision scenario

Compare proceed / settle / narrow / enforce.

Use management-selected scenarios as decision support, not predictive adjudication.

04 · Decision-support boundary

It is a structured decision model built around stated evidence and assumptions.

Professional boundary

Legal merits, damages methodology, expert valuation, tax, accounting, discount rates, funding, solvency and enforcement advice require appropriately qualified counsel and specialists where applicable.

No predictive adjudication

UNIONE™ decision intelligence does not predict a tribunal’s decision, generate a guaranteed probability of success, replace legal advice, or convert scenario assumptions into facts. Any model output is only as reliable as the evidence, assumptions and professional inputs used.

05 · Before You Arbitrate™

The purpose is not to make the dispute look more certain. It is to make the decision more explicit.

Claim value, reserve, escalation and settlement should be assessed through transparent assumptions that management, counsel and finance teams can challenge.

Assess

Separate claim components.

Entitlement, quantum, counterclaim, costs, timing, security and recoverability should remain visible rather than being compressed into one score.

Challenge

Expose the assumption.

Every material scenario should state what evidence or professional judgment it depends upon.

Decide

Choose what happens next.

Proceed, narrow, settle, preserve, fund, restructure or enforce according to the actual commercial objective.

Rules status

The current published UNIONE™ Rules & Procedures v4.0 remain Institutional Draft - Adoption Review - Not Yet Effective. Decision intelligence can operate independently of a filed UNIONE™ arbitration; any later proceeding is governed by the applicable agreement and rules in force.

Deeper intelligence

A fuller decision view.

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

The Value Waterfall

Convert raw matter information into a structured business decision.

Apply contractual and legally supportable additions / deductions.

Contract / damages base - Define what is actually recoverable in law.

Interest / escalation / credits - Apply contractual and legally supportable additions / deductions.

One institution can connect risk, documents, hearings and enforcement.

The Funding Marketplace, fee schedule and enforcement tools provide real institutional inputs to move from legal quantum toward expected economic value.

Each issue is analysed in isolation and the business has to assemble the decision itself.

Inputs are converted into a repeatable decision framework and linked to the institutional lifecycle.

What can move the score or the decision.

The framework should be refreshed when a material assumption changes.

Pre- / post-award basis can materially affect value.

Declaratory / specific relief may create value not captured in cash claim.

Causation - Not every breach creates every claimed loss.

Move sideways into the relevant intelligence, upstream into contract and prevention, or downstream into assessment, arbitration and enforcement. This is how the wider UNIONE™ system connects around the decision.

Claim Valuation Engine™ · UNIONE™

Do not ask only “What is the claim worth?” Ask what has to be true for that value to become real.
