The System

You underwrote the case.

Other people will decide how it ends.

Counsel gave you the merits opinion, the experts built the damages model, you ran duration, budget and collectability. It all penciled. But you make one decision today — and for the next four years the decisions get made by somebody else.

Is the guy across the table overselling his case — or does he know something about it he didn't tell you?

Standard underwriting can't tell those two apart. We can. Either one can cost you the tranche, and the right move is different for each.

What We Forecast

We don't forecast people.
We forecast where the case goes.

You make one decision today — fund it. Over the next four years, dozens of decisions get made by other people: the claimant, the key witness, lead counsel, the co-plaintiffs, the defendant. Every one of them can move the value of your position. We price those decisions before they get made.

Not character. Not personality. Not a diagnosis.
The probability of specific events:

i.
the claimant takes a settlement well below your model
ii.
lead counsel changes strategy midstream
iii.
the firm's economics stop lining up with yours
iv.
the key witness doesn't hold up on cross
v.
they keep running a theory that stopped working two years ago
vi.
the fight stops being economic and turns personal
vii.
the outcome stops turning on the law and starts turning on behavior
We don't know the future.

We price which decisions become most likely if the system of people, incentives and pressure holds the way it is today. That's not a promise of precision. It's a tool for managing uncertainty.

Where The Money Is Actually Decided

Cases don't turn on hearing dates.
They turn at the points that never make the docket.

Today
the funding decision
First tranche
the capital goes out non-recourse
Month 12
the first gap between the model and the case
First real pressure
you find out who holds and who doesn't
The settlement offer
the sharpest point in the case: it isn't your call
Cross-examination
the record gets tested through a person, not a document
Costs run over
the firm's economics start pulling away from yours
Interests split
the people who were aligned stop being aligned
Final resolution
an outcome that was set long before it landed

ID SYSTEM™ prices the odds at each of these turns long before you get to them.

What Everyone Else Reads Apart
Your lawyers read the documents. Your experts read the numbers.
Your investigators read the facts.
Each looks at one part.
We read how all of it interacts — because that's where the decision actually gets made.
Why Underwriting Misses It

The picture of the case is almost always built
out of material prepared by the side that wants the money.

You run your own diligence, you hire independent experts, you pull public filings, you get discovery. And the source material still comes from the same place the funding request did — the theory, the chronology, the damages assumptions, the witness list.

i.
The merits opinion is built on a file the claimant and his counsel assembled, curated and handed over.
ii.
The damages model runs on assumptions that came from the same side of the table.
iii.
The budget and the timeline come from a firm with every incentive to see the case get funded.
iv.
Collectability analysis looks hard at the defendant. Nobody is looking at your side of the case.
v.
KYC and background tell you who the claimant has been. Not what he does in year four, when money's tight at home and the defendant puts a number on the table.
Every check looks where he's willing to let you in. We also look where his permission isn't required.

You can't prep for it and you can't rewrite it after the fact. That's where the answer is.

Our model comes at it from 14 independent directions. What he built for one check doesn't survive the other thirteen. Each showpiece can be explained on its own. All of them at once — cannot. It's a mechanism.

The core question
Do you have an independent path to reality — or did everything you know about this case come from the side that needs your money? A merits opinion confirms the theory is internally consistent. But if one man built the picture, the opinion confirms his version is consistent with itself.
The model can say "no risk here"
A firm hired to find problems finds problems — that's the incentive. We routinely issue GO where the risk isn't. The system discriminates; it doesn't paint everything red. That's why its NO-GO carries weight: it's issued by an instrument that also knows how to say GO.
The Independent Layer

Your IC decides on the file.
We add the layer that isn't in the file.

Nobody is pricing how the people in this case behave — none of the standard checks are built for it. And there's one more person nobody is looking at.

The one inside your shop who already decided on this case.

He's six months in, he's walked it past the partners, his name is on it. By the time it goes to committee he isn't analyzing anymore — he's defending. That isn't a character flaw. It's how anyone behaves under that kind of pressure, and it exists in every shop.

An independent layer means the committee gets a read that doesn't depend on the applicant — or on whoever inside the fund owns this deal.

What You Get

A verdict — and the report that backs it.

Three Possible Verdicts
GO
The trajectory holds.
These people go the distance.
Fund it.
HOLD
There are points where the trajectory breaks. Paper them in the funding agreement — before the first tranche.
NO-GO
This case doesn't fall apart on the law.
Pass.
Before the first tranche. Not after.
What the assessment gives you
a full written report · every claim sourced
01
The verdict. GO, HOLD, or NO-GO — with an evidence base you can defend in front of your IC.
02
The trajectory map. Where this case is most likely to turn against you — and what each scenario does to your return.
03
Decision Navigation™. The terms that need to be in the funding agreement for the human risk to be manageable.
04
Early-warning markers. The specific events that tell you the trajectory is shifting — before counsel's status report does.
05
The dollar range every scenario puts at risk. What triggers it, and what it does to your position.
Decision Navigation™

Most reports end with a verdict.
Ours starts with one.

The terms that need to be in the funding agreement for the human risk to be manageable: settlement consent rights, approval thresholds, exit triggers. What to require before the first tranche, in what order to move, and the point where you stop.

Not a verdict. A map for the decision.

Standard underwriting prices the case at entry.

ID SYSTEM™ prices the decisions that haven't been made yet —
but are already taking shape.

The future is rarely a surprise. It starts long before it becomes a fact. That's the moment we're looking for. And for a while, it can still be changed — we show you the point where that stops being true.

Why It's Worth It

One bad call costs more than
an independent read on the entire portfolio.

Your capital goes out non-recourse — you know that better than I do. The question is what it's worth to find out in two weeks what otherwise shows up in year four.

What Happens Next
01
Initial review of your request
You lay out the situation: what case, who the people are, what decision is on the table.
02
We decide whether to take it
We assess whether ID SYSTEM™ can actually change the quality of your decision. We only work where the cost of getting it wrong justifies how deep we go.
03
The proposal
If we take it on, you get a tailored proposal: scope, timeline, and fee.

If the tranche goes out in the next few weeks —

this conversation can't wait.

Before the first tranche you have a choice. After, you only have consequences.
