Settlement is a range created by risk—not a discount pulled from the headline claim.
The model separates gross claim, liability probability, evidence discount, quantum sensitivity, counterclaim exposure, future cost, time discount and recovery probability so negotiation can be anchored to expected business outcomes.
The Negotiation Range
Convert raw matter information into a structured business decision.
The Negotiation Range
Dispute decision pathwayBelow 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.
Supply, releases, IP, confidentiality or future conduct can shift value.
What can move the score or the decision.
The framework should be refreshed when a material assumption changes.
Liability probability
Probability is assumption-driven, not objective truth.
Quantum uncertainty
Experts can move the value dramatically.
Counterclaim
Net rather than gross value should drive range.
Cost-to-go
Past spend is sunk; future spend belongs in decision.
Time
Delayed recovery has lower enterprise value.
Enforceability
Collection risk discounts award value.
Intelligence should end with an owner and a next action.
The output is useful only if it changes the management of the matter.
Contract, pleadings, evidence, financial and asset data.
Map issues into a repeatable decision framework.
Apply legal / financial / executive human judgment.
Record recommendation, assumptions and owner.
Update when material evidence, procedure or recovery facts move.
One institution can connect risk, documents, hearings and enforcement.
UNIONE™ Stage 02 supplies the structured-resolution route; Risk Analyser and Enforceability Predictor can provide disciplined inputs for the negotiation range.
Reports accumulate around the case.
Each issue is analysed in isolation and the business has to assemble the decision itself.
The matter develops one intelligence history.
Inputs are converted into a repeatable decision framework and linked to the institutional lifecycle.
