Claim Forecast Analysis
Solomonic’s Claim Forecasting Analysis is designed to provide users with a data-driven assessment of the likely progression and outcome of a claim, helping you assess risk, challenge assumptions and make more informed decisions. This is intended to complement professional judgment, not replace it.
The forecasts are generated using historical litigation data and statistical analysis of acknowledged claims within the Solomonic dataset. The model identifies patterns and outcomes from similar disputes but does not analyse pleadings, evidence, claim documents, legal arguments or the underlying merits of a case. Forecasts should be considered alongside your own expertise and case-specific knowledge.
This page provides an quick overview of what claim forecasting is, where to find it within the platform, how to access it and they key caveats you should be aware of when using it. Consider this your quick-start guide to claim Forecasting, covering the essentials in just a few minutes.
For a deeper understanding of the forecasting model, including the methodology behind the predictions and the best practice guidance on incorporating forecasts into your decision making, please refer to our full “Forecasting Litigation: Understanding, interpreting and applying Solomonic’s claim forecasts” explainer and technical paper - we strongly recommend reviewing this document.

What does claim forecasting show?
For eligible claims, claim forecasting provides estimates for:
The likelihood of settlement at different stages of proceedings
The likelihood that a claim will proceed to trial
The likelihood of success if the claim reaches trial
The forecasts are intended the provide an objective baseline that can be used alongside your own expertise and knowledge of a matter.
A forecast is first generated once a claim has been acknowledged by the defendant(s). These forecasts are updated throughout the life of a claim as additional information becomes available and the claim stage progresses through the litigation process.
Eligible claims are those that have been acknowledged or are still ongoing claims - within supported courts. The initial release primarily covers commercial matters in the Business & Property Division and King's Bench Division.
How should it be used?
Start with the forecast as an objective baseline
Consider information known to you but unavailable to the model
Adjust only where there is evidence that the claim differs from comparable historical matters
Focus on probability rather than certainty, and reassess as the dispute evolves
