Employment Damages Platform

You're negotiating on a number
you're not sure of.

Manual spreadsheets. Hours of back-and-forth with clients. Rates you looked up six months ago. Every recalculation is a project. That's not how you want to walk into mediation.

⏱ 4+ hours to build a damages calc from scratch
📊 Manual interest-rate lookups every quarter
🔄 Recalculate every time the facts change
The Current Process

Four spreadsheets.
Two versions.
One guess.

By the time you've manually calculated back pay, looked up the BLS benefits rate, found the federal prejudgment interest rate for each quarter, and estimated front pay — you've spent half a day and introduced five chances for error.
