How plaintiff attorneys and claims professionals put market intelligence to work — and the data infrastructure behind it. Practical playbooks alongside the research on how public records, regulatory filings, and machine learning combine into a decision tool.
Concrete walkthroughs of how plaintiff attorneys, litigation consultants, expert witnesses, and funders use Carrier and Builder Intelligence at each stage of a matter.
How construction expert witnesses use Builder Intelligence
A PE or building consultant moves from site-level defect findings to market-level pattern evidence. What Builder Intelligence provides and how it shapes an expert report.
ReadUsing carrier intelligence before the pre-suit demand goes out
The intelligence window between signing the retainer and filing the CRN. How aggregate carrier conduct signals calibrate the demand strategy before the cure clock starts.
ReadQualifying a bad-faith matter at intake
Intake is a portfolio decision. What carrier-level variables -- propensity, financial health, multi-state pattern -- belong in the intake call alongside the facts of the claim.
ReadWhen you keep seeing the same defendant
A running intelligence picture turns case-file experience into institutional knowledge. How the subscription cadence builds a documented counterparty view that compounds over time.
ReadPortfolio intelligence for the plaintiff firm
A high-volume plaintiff firm has a book of carrier and builder counterparties. How a quarterly intelligence review surfaces shifts before they appear as surprises at mediation.
ReadRole-anchored playbooks: where Carrier and Builder Intelligence fit a real plaintiff-side workflow — and the Founding Member capabilities each one draws on.
Case selection: deciding which bad-faith matters to take
Intake is a portfolio decision. How aggregate carrier propensity, financial-health, and settlement-benchmark signals help triage which claims are worth the firm's capital.
ReadTracking a Builder Across Its Shell Entities
The defendant on the permit is rarely the whole story. How an entity graph reconnects a builder's subsidiaries into one portfolio view of defect and litigation history.
ReadReading a national docket: multi-state carrier intelligence
A carrier behaves differently in Florida than in New York. For firms with matters across jurisdictions, cross-state comparison is where the pattern actually lives.
ReadDue diligence for litigation funders
Before writing the check, a funder is underwriting a defendant. How aggregate carrier and builder exposure data sharpens portfolio-level diligence on the other side of the case.
ReadSnapshot vs. signal: why carrier intelligence is a subscription
Carrier conduct moves. A one-time pull ages the day it lands. Why the value is in the trend — the movers and alerts between quarters — not the static lookup.
ReadThe infrastructure behind the intelligence: the public records, the regulatory frameworks, and the machine learning that turn them into market-level signal.
Reading carrier behavior from pre-suit notice data
Before a bad-faith suit, policyholders must put carriers on notice. Read in aggregate, those notice filings surface carrier behavior patterns that are otherwise invisible.
Read Bad FaithPre-suit bad-faith notices as a market signal
Several states require a pre-suit notice to the insurance regulator before a bad-faith claim. In aggregate, those filings are a real-time market signal on carrier conduct.
Read EditorialThe asymmetry problem in construction-defect litigation
The defense side has priced exposure from data for decades. The plaintiff bar has worked from instinct. Why that gap is structural, and what closing it looks like in practice.
Read Construction DefectHow pre-suit rules create a construction-defect data trail
Construction-defect claims run through a mandatory pre-suit process. That process, and the public records around it, leave a long data trail on builder conduct.
Read Technology · DataEntity resolution in legal data: why builder-portfolio tracking needs machine learning
Large homebuilders operate under dozens of subsidiary entities. Manual matching misses connections that matter. How ML entity resolution closes the gap.
Read Intelligence Stack · Construction DefectHow machine learning tracks the same builder across dozens of legal entities
A major builder rarely goes to court under one name. How probabilistic entity resolution links thousands of subsidiary records into a single enterprise profile — and why it changes what due diligence on the defendant means.
Read Bad Faith · StrategyHow carrier-level data changes pre-suit strategy in bad faith cases
Pre-suit bad faith strategy has historically been limited to the four corners of the claim file. Market-level carrier data adds a second dimension — not prediction, but context that changes the frame.
Read Editorial · StrategyThe information asymmetry in plaintiff-side insurance litigation
For decades, carriers and their counsel have had portfolio-level claims data. Plaintiff attorneys have had the claim file. The gap is structural — and closing it requires purpose-built infrastructure.
Read Construction Defect · DataReading construction defect risk: what permit records and builder portfolios show
A builder's defect exposure does not live in one project. Permit history and litigation records across a builder's full portfolio surface patterns that a single file lookup cannot.
Read Bad Faith · DataWhat aggregate claims data reveals about carrier settlement patterns
Carrier settlement outcomes are not random. Aggregate data across thousands of claims surfaces the patterns in how carriers handle first-party claims — not a prediction, but a read on where your case sits.
Read Construction DefectThe 45-day clock: Florida's new prompt-payment rule for private construction
Florida Statutes 489.1295 takes effect July 1, 2026. What the new subcontractor-payment law requires, its undefined dispute exception, and why enforcement through contractor licensing discipline matters to plaintiff-side attorneys.
Read Construction Defect · Public RecordsBefore you sue: what a contractor's licensing record already tells you
Who was behind the work, whether they were licensed to do it, and what the state has already found — before a single expert walks the property. What the public licensing record shows, and its limits.
Read Construction Defect · Public RecordsWhen repairs stop leaving a paper trail: Florida's new $7,500 permit exemption
Florida's $7,500 permit exemption for single-family repair work took effect July 1, 2026. What the exemption covers, what still requires a permit, and which part of the public record thins out.
