Source-linked decisions Context-sensitive comparisons Transparent methodologyHow the model was built

Bring more context to the negotiating table.

Explore case-based support estimates alongside statutory calculations. Review comparable decisions, the assumptions behind the results, and the strength of the available evidence as you evaluate a settlement position.

  • Assess a proposed position. See where an offer sits relative to the statutory figure and to awards in comparable decisions.
  • Prepare for mediation. Arrive with the range, the assumptions, and the cases behind them already reviewed.
  • Explain the basis. Show a client or counterpart the decisions and inputs that drive an estimate, including where evidence is thin.

When comparable evidence is sparse, the model says so, and an estimate may be withheld rather than forced.

Sample figures only; not a live result or a personalized prediction. Ranges are empirical scenarios from coded comparable awards, not confidence intervals or guaranteed outcomes. In a live run, the comparable decisions are listed with their sources.

Research you can inspect. Analysis you can use.

The model’s reference corpus was assembled through systematic review of published New York support decisions within the study period. The search sought every decision disclosing sufficient financial inputs and calculation detail to reconstruct the relevant award, including income findings, caps applied, and support amounts.

Numerical comparability depends on data sufficiency. An opinion that reports an award without its underlying inputs or calculation, including some appellate opinions, cannot support reconstruction of that result. Decisions are coded with supporting source references, and only eligible records with sufficient information for the particular estimate contribute to it.

  1. 1

    Research the decisions

    Read the opinions and preserve the relevant findings, quotations and citations.

  2. 2

    Build structured comparisons

    Organize facts and outcomes, identify missing information, and distinguish usable evidence.

  3. 3

    Test against known outcomes

    Evaluate estimates while withholding the tested action and its related decisions.

  4. 4

    Show the basis for the result

    Present comparable cases, assumptions and the strength of the available evidence.

What is compared

Income relative to the relevant caps, number of children, procedural posture, geography, and the assigned judge's decisions where available. Child-support comparisons also consider the payor's income share. Multiple decisions from the same action are adjusted so they do not inflate its influence. Missing findings remain missing; unsuitable or unresolved outcomes are withheld.

Documented build, September 27, 2026

  • 232 decisions from 226 actions in the prediction pool.
  • 248 coded decisions in the engine, with 16 held out of prediction.
  • Newest batch: full-opinion review and independent second readings of 69 decisions, with 1,644 checks of quotations and page references in that batch.

Dated build facts, not live counters. Second readings are research review, not external validation of forecasting.
