Modeling the global settlement matrix.
A global settlement is a grid, not a number: injury tiers, qualifying criteria, point schedules, enhancements, offsets, and holdbacks that together decide who recovers what from a common fund. When the Mass Tort edition opens, the settlement-matrix sub-agent will model that grid end to end against the inventory it must pay. It is designed to project per-tier recovery, the share of the fund the most severe cohort consumes, and the blended fee after common-benefit holdback — so the negotiating committee sees the consequence of each definition before signing.
What MT is designed to do.
- 01
The sub-agent will model the full grid — tier definitions, qualifying medical criteria, base points by injury severity, enhancements for complications, offsets for pre-existing conditions — as adjustable inputs the committee can stress-test.
- 02
On a hypothetical hernia-mesh fund, it is designed to project per-tier average recovery, the proportion absorbed by the top cohort, and the blended attorney fee net of holdback, recomputing live as a tier line moves.
- 03
Each tier value will be anchored to public bellwether verdicts and comparable resolutions grounded against CourtListener — never to invented benchmarks or unsourced figures.
- 04
When the deal is reached, the supervisor is designed to score every plaintiff against the agreed matrix — tier placement, enhancements, offsets, each with provenance — producing an allocation a special master can audit.
- 05
The matrix will export as a procurement-ready spreadsheet the negotiating committee attests before presenting it to the court; Justine models the grid, the attorneys agree the number.
The AI reasons; the attorney decides.
JustineAI™ MT is coming next. This describes the workload it is built to carry. When it opens, founding-firm slots go to the mass tort attorneys who told us about their practice early.
