Beta — modeling in active development

A structured, rules-based estimate of litigation exposure across 7 commercial real estate categories — probability range × damages range, never a single number, and every result traces to a specific rule or a real cited case below it. Describe your case in your own words and/or drop in your pleadings — AI identifies the type of dispute, extracts the facts, and writes up the reasoning for you.

How This Works

This tool is in beta. The underlying probability and damages modeling is still being actively developed and refined as more real case data — settlements, judgments, and consent decrees — is incorporated. Ranges shown today should be treated as an early, evolving estimate, not a finished or stable model.

This is a transparent, explainable framework calibrated against real, cited case outcomes and (where relevant) state law — not a black-box statistical prediction, and not a substitute for judicial or arbitral resolution of an actual dispute. Every probability and damages range shown is grounded in either a specific legal rule or a comparable case cited in the results.

This tool does not provide legal advice and does not predict the outcome of any specific matter. Litigation outcomes depend on facts, evidence, jurisdiction, and counsel that a short questionnaire cannot capture. Discuss an actual matter with counsel →

What a real result looks like

Sample output — fabricated facts, for illustration only

Illustrative scenario: a retail tenant on a 10-year lease with 3 years remaining stops paying rent and vacates; the landlord sues for the unpaid rent and the accelerated remaining-term rent. None of these facts are real — but the two citations below are: they're drawn from CREdocket's actual, independently-verified case-law database, the same one every real analysis is grounded in.

Unpaid Rent

90–97% likelihood
Damages range: $95,000 – $95,000
Expected value: $88,000 – $92,000

Undisputed accrued rent on a written lease is close to open-and-shut absent a real defense to the underlying debt.

Grounded in real cases:
SVAP III Poway Crossings, LLC v. Fitness International, LLC (2023) — $520,361 high confidence

Accelerated Rent

65–90% likelihood
Damages range: $540,000 – $702,000
Expected value: $470,000 – $610,000

Lease has an acceleration clause; damages reflect the remaining 3-year term rent, offset by the landlord's duty to mitigate through re-letting.

Grounded in real cases:
Cummings Properties, LLC v. Hines (2023) — $68,650 high confidence

Cost to Litigate & Settlement Comparison

These cost/timeline figures are general commercial-litigation industry norms, not individually cited to a specific real case the way the estimate above is — enter your own numbers below if you have them.

Enter this the same way as your own net position above: a positive number if this is money you'd receive (or a cost you'd avoid) by settling, negative if it's money you'd pay.

Lease Mitigation Reference (Landlord-Tenant Only)

If this is a landlord-tenant matter involving accelerated/future rent, a landlord generally has a duty to mitigate by re-leasing the space. Enter your own broker's re-lease estimate below if you have one — it replaces this tool's generic mitigation assumption with your actual number. Leave blank (and this section is ignored) for any other kind of matter.
