"By the time the counsel-of-record changes hit our model, the partner had already left two months earlier. We were scoring against a bench that didn't exist."
Case-by-case docket review captures filings, not counsel stability. Funds underwriting against case quality lack a parallel feed for team risk.
Partner departures take 60–90 days to surface in published rosters. Posting patterns reveal the gap weeks earlier — three sudden senior associate openings in a sub-practice is the partner exit, two months ahead.
The largest funds built this in-house. Smaller funds either fund the build or fly blind on team-stability risk. The Index closes the gap at a fraction of internal cost.
