Read it like defense counsel

A litigation file is a deposition, an MOL, a demand letter, a settlement brochure and eight hundred pages of medical. The exposure question is in there: under what jurisdiction, against what jury history. Owl reads it all, walks the case-law, and writes the exposure and reserve memo.

What it answered
Examiner asked
What’s the realistic exposure and the settlement authority?
Owl answered in 1.0s

Realistic exposure is $185K (P50) to $310K (P75); demand at $750K is high relative to venue norms but plaintiff counsel’s history shows willingness to settle at P50. Recommended pre-suit authority: $220K, with $310K trial-readiness reserve. Respond in writing within the 30-day window with a counter at $145K, citing venue verdicts and the soft-tissue presentation. Cohort outcome on this profile settles at $192K mean. Response letter and exposure memo attached.
