See where your team can recover capacity.Then size the pilot.

Start with your own matter volume, staff minutes, attorney time, throughput, turnaround, and price-per-matter baseline. Quick Mode gives you a one-minute directional read; the full worksheet helps frame the outcomes to validate in a bounded pilot.

Evidence basis: buyer-owned baseline observations and clearly labeled inputs—not a public benchmark or an invented promise.

Bounded scope: this is a directional review aid for pilot economics, not a forecast, legal opinion, compliance determination, or guaranteed return.

Validate against internal records; qualified counsel review before real legal or compliance reliance.

QUICK MODE · UNDER ONE MINUTE

Input-anchored · anonymous · no gate

Get a defensible labor-value proxy first.

Four visible inputs. One directional labor-value signal. Use buyer-owned records where available and treat the result as a bounded pilot review aid.

Your current monthly matter volume.

A buyer-owned or review-stage estimate of loaded labor cost — not a billing rate.

Hours currently spent on compliance work per matter.

Scenario share of compliance time to examine. Use an observed or pilot-reviewed rate where available.

Use buyer-owned labor records where available. Any remaining estimates are placeholders for review, not market benchmarks or production commitments.

Role-mix inputs are a review aid. Replace them with buyer-owned baseline evidence before using the output in a pilot conversation.

DIRECTIONAL OUTPUT

Your directional labor-value signal will land here.

Run the four visible inputs to review directional time and value signals, plus any verified plan-spend multiple, without creating an account.

No outcome is promised. Start with the visible baseline, then choose only the bounded scenarios you want to review.

No email or account gate

Evidence-led economics

Monthly view

Review the economic signal — not a promise.

This is a directional review aid built from your buyer-owned labor baseline, a current public service price, and an optional value for each additional matter. It is not a savings guarantee or forecast.

Add capacity value

Optional buyer-owned scenario — keep revenue and profit separate.

Defaults to an industry-standard $250/matter; replace with your buyer-owned figure. This value does not change the labor or capacity outputs above.

Assumptions disclosure

Buyer-owned baseline: monthly volume, labor cost, scenario dials, and the optional revenue or profit per additional matter.

Observed outcomes to validate: time returned, available capacity, and expense signals. These are directional and not guaranteed cash savings.

Pilot boundary: one monthly review period, capacity valued only with your entered per-matter amount, and the matched tier’s current service price. The catalog verification date appears beside the service cost.

No public benchmark is being presented as your result. The existing FDCPA and TCPA citations remain legal context only.

Next step

Pressure-test the assumptions with a supervised review.

Bring the worksheet to a supervised pilot conversation. It is a review path, not a promise that these directional estimates will occur.
