LEGAL DECISION ANALYSIS SOFTWARE
Turn Your Case Expertise into Structured Analysis
TreeAge Pro provides a visual, quantitative framework for applying your expertise and judgment to a complex legal case — helping you assess potential outcomes, determine case value, understand litigation risk, and support more informed decisions.
Bring Structure to Complex Case Decisions
A legal case can involve numerous issues, uncertain events, and potential financial outcomes. Legal professionals must consider not only what could happen, but how likely each outcome is and what its financial consequences could be.
TreeAge Pro brings these assessments together in a structured, visual model, providing a framework for applying professional judgment systematically across the case.
Analyze the Case from Structure to Decision
TreeAge Pro provides a structured process for turning your understanding of a case into a quantitative analysis of its value and risk.
- Map the Case
Structure the legal issues, decisions, uncertainties, and possible outcomes. - Quantify the Case
Estimate the likelihoods and financial consequences of potential outcomes. - Value the Case
Determine the probability-weighted value of the case. - Understand the Risk
Assess the range and likelihood of potential financial outcomes. - Communicate the Analysis
Clearly present the assumptions, reasoning, and results.

Build a Quantitative Model of the Case
Map the Case
Turn the structure of a legal case into a visual decision model.
Represent the key issues, decisions, uncertainties, and potential outcomes as they unfold through the case. TreeAge Pro provides a visual framework for organizing these elements and showing how different decisions and events lead to different case scenarios.
The Legal Model Wizard can guide you through this process and automatically generate the initial model structure.
Quantify the Case
Apply your professional judgment to the likelihood and financial consequences of potential outcomes.
Assign probabilities to uncertain events and estimate the financial consequences associated with different case scenarios, including awards, damages, legal costs, and other relevant amounts.
Together, these inputs create a quantitative model that reflects your assessment of how the case could unfold.
Value the Case
Combine the likelihood and financial value of all possible outcomes to determine the probability-weighted value of the case.
A legal case can have many possible outcomes, each with its own financial consequence and likelihood of occurring. TreeAge Pro calculates the probability of each case scenario and combines these probabilities with the corresponding financial outcomes to calculate the probability-weighted case value.
Importantly, case value is not a prediction of what the litigation will ultimately produce. It represents the probability-weighted average across the range of possible outcomes, providing a quantitative basis for evaluating litigation and settlement alternatives.
Understand the Risk
Look beyond case value to understand the full range and likelihood of potential financial outcomes.
Case value summarizes multiple possible outcomes in a single probability-weighted amount, but it does not show how those outcomes are distributed. Cases with similar case values can have very different levels of financial risk.
TreeAge Pro shows the probability distribution of potential outcomes, helping you assess both the likelihood and magnitude of unfavorable results—including low-probability outcomes with potentially severe financial consequences.
Communicate the Analysis
Turn your case analysis into a clear, shareable report.
TreeAge Pro’s visual models and analysis results make it easier to explain how legal issues, probabilities, and financial consequences combine to produce case value and risk.
Export the model, results, and graphs to a PDF that brings your case analysis together in a single document for distribution to clients, colleagues, management, and other stakeholders.
Legal Decision Analysis for Different Roles
TreeAge Pro provides the same structured framework for case analysis across different legal and risk-management roles, while supporting different decisions and objectives.
Litigation Attorneys
Evaluate case value and risk to support litigation and settlement decisions.
Structure your assessment of a case, evaluate litigation and settlement alternatives, and communicate the reasoning behind your analysis to clients and colleagues.
Mediators
Bring structured analysis to settlement discussions.
Model the uncertainties and potential financial outcomes of a dispute to help parties evaluate case value, risk, and settlement alternatives.
Risk & Claims Professionals
Assess potential liability and financial exposure.
Evaluate the likelihood and magnitude of potential losses to support claims, settlement, and risk-management decisions.
