Decision aid
Is the claim worth pursuing?
Not every claim is worth the fight. This weighs the expected value of pursuing — your realistic recovery, the likelihood of getting it, and what it costs to pursue — against any offer on the table. It is a structured way to think, not a prediction; the likelihood is your judgement.
Your honest assessment of the merits, the records and the forum.
Expected recovery
Less cost to pursue
Net expected value
Enter a recovery figure and the cost to pursue to see the expected value.
A decision aid, not a prediction or advice. “Expected value” is recovery × likelihood minus the cost to pursue — it spreads one uncertain outcome into an average, so a positive number is not a promise of recovery. It does not capture adverse-cost risk if you lose, the time value of money (money now versus money in two years), management distraction, or the commercial-relationship cost of a fight. Weigh those alongside the number. The likelihood input is your own judgement.
Want a senior read on the merits before you decide?
The honest input here is the likelihood, and that comes from a clear-eyed view of the contract, the records and the forum. That is exactly the view a confidential call gives you. No obligation.
