Fair Value Metrics is expert at preparing your legal team for mediation, trial, or settlement. We transform complex case records into easy to navigate, defensible damages models so your team can evaluate liability, test assumptions, and adjust as the case evolves.
We collaborate with your team to shape models that reflect your case theory, use familiar language, and stay intuitive and flexible for confident use in negotiation.
Stay a Step Ahead with Interactive Damage Models
The ability to update damages in real time during negotiation or trial can make a big difference in the success of a case. Beyond grand totals, our models show each class member’s calculations by week, by day, or by hour in real time. Casewide statistics update alongside the model so every variable change is in context, helping you see what to let go and where to stand firm.
Below is a simple live demo model. Change any green cell and results update instantly. Explore how variables and risk discounts move totals and outcomes, and spot patterns you might not expect.

Extrapolate For Missing Data With Confidence
Incorporating robust extrapolation in your damage models helps credibly identify damages missing from the data. For example, many matters require identifying and valuing workweeks for current employees or class members who are missing from the production. Our models update in real time, risk discounts fold directly into the extrapolated figures, and new information can be incorporated instantly.
In the simplified extrapolation model below, edit the green cells to enter damage results, add missing people or weeks, and apply a chance of success discount to the final damages.
