OpticonIQ — research synthesis
Real-time case research at the speed of intake decisions.
Enter your case facts; receive a panel-derived research card with damages range, defendant identity comparison, venue context, and methodology citations. You decide whether to take the case.
A research-synthesis tool that combines a stratified Charleston juror panel with verified South Carolina verdict data to inform case valuation.
What's covered today
Surveyed fact patterns: clear-liability rear-end MVA (soft-tissue), the defendant-identity effect (individual vs. commercial), contested left-turn MVA, premises slip-and-fall — plus real-verdict comparables across MVA, premises, med-mal, and dram-shop where a close match exists.
What's coming
More fact patterns are being surveyed. Fatal-MVA, negligent-security, and med-mal scenarios are next. When the tool says “no fact-pattern survey covers this yet,” that's an honest gap, not a guess being withheld.
How to read it
Panel numbers and verdict comparables are shown side by side, never blended. A verdict comparable is one real case, not a prediction. The panel is what a representative juror group estimated, not a guarantee.
How this works
Every number you see — panel award medians, fault percentages, verdict amounts — is drawn directly from data: a stratified survey of Charleston-area jurors and a tracker of verified South Carolina verdicts and settlements. The matching that decides which data applies to your case is deterministic rule-based logic, not an AI judgment call. AI (Claude) does only two things here: it reads your free-text case description and organizes it into structured fields, and it composes the written explanation around the data-derived numbers. It does not calculate, estimate, adjust, or invent any figure. If no study or verdict matches your case, the tool says so rather than guessing.
