The problem · The signal

Case-by-case PACER underwriting has no daily macro signal on counsel stability.

01 What's broken today

"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."

  • P/01

    No daily macro signal next to PACER

    Case-by-case docket review captures filings, not counsel stability. Funds underwriting against case quality lack a parallel feed for team risk.

  • P/02

    Counsel-quality diligence is months stale

    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.

  • P/03

    In-house diligence costs $1.2M+/year to staff

    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.

Every record is normalized into the same taxonomy. Cross-cut however your model needs.
USE CASE 01

Pre-funding counsel diligence

A new case lands. One call returns the firm of record's 12-month posting velocity, partner-class pipeline, and sub-practice depth — colored against your risk bands.

GET /v1/firms/{id}/risk-snapshot?case_type=securities
USE CASE 02

Portfolio team-stability monitoring

Subscribe to every firm in your active book. Webhook fires when posting velocity in a relevant sub-practice spikes or collapses — both are stress signals, scored differently.

POST /v1/webhooks {events:["firm.team_signal"]}
USE CASE 03

Macro stress index

Quarterly heatmap of net counsel-departure pressure by market and practice. Useful for portfolio rebalancing and adverse-selection diligence at the fund-strategy level.
