Editable planning model

Use the firm's realized intake economics when available. Leads and signed matters are always rounded down to whole outcomes; zero whole leads produce zero downstream value.

searches × click share = visits; floor(visits × lead rate) = whole leads; floor(whole leads × close rate) = whole signed matters; whole signed matters × disclosed service economic input

Service economic inputs, sources, ranges, and formulas

These are two different economic measures and are not added into one firm-revenue total. Personal Injury inputs are editable gross case-recovery assumptions before attorney fees, costs, liens, taxes, or client net proceeds. Criminal Defense and Family Law inputs are editable collected-legal-fee assumptions excluding pass-through costs. Every value is a planning scenario—not an observed market average, forecast, quote, or guarantee—and should be replaced with mature firm cohort data.
