Case Valuation & Portfolio Risk

Underwrite cases with
conviction, not guesswork

Litigation funders face asymmetric information: outcomes depend on jury behavior, judicial tendencies, appellate risk, and settlement dynamics. SimOracle models the causal drivers that move verdicts and settlement ranges—before you commit capital.

FAQ

How does SimOracle model jury behavior?

We analyze historical verdicts with similar demographics, case types, and judges. We model how jury composition (age, income, education, prior trial experience) interacts with case facts to predict verdict probability and damage ranges. This is causal modeling, not statistical correlation—we understand the mechanisms driving jury decisions.

Can SimOracle predict reversals on appeal?

Yes. We map appellate panels, their reversal rates by issue type, and harmless error doctrine application. We model which elements of your trial are vulnerable to appeal reversal, and simulate appellate panel composition to quantify reversal risk.

What about settlement modeling?

We model settlement dynamics through case lifecycle: pre-discovery, mid-discovery, pre-trial, and post-trial phases. We simulate how trial risk, discovery burden, and cost escalation drive settlement offers—and predict when defendants will be forced to settle to avoid trial risk.

How do you handle different case types?

We have specialized models for personal injury, commercial litigation, IP/patent, employment, antitrust, and securities cases. Each has distinct jury behavior patterns, judge tendencies, and appellate dynamics. We can model your specific case type.

Can SimOracle help with portfolio rebalancing?

Yes. We identify correlation risk across your portfolio: shared judges, defendants, appeal jurisdictions, and case types. We highlight concentration risk and suggest case selection to improve diversification and portfolio return.

Is this different from traditional case valuation?

Traditional valuation relies on counsel estimates (often inflated for funding purposes). SimOracle is ground-truth calibration: we use historical verdicts, judge rulings, and appellate outcomes to build causal models of what actually drives case outcomes—independent of counsel bias.
