Negotiation intelligence, built from your firm's own data

Be the most prepared side of the table.

Research your mediator and opposing counsel, value the case cold, and prepare for the room — so whatever number lands, you already know your move.

Every mediation your firm runs is hard-won experience — and today it walks out the door the moment the room clears. DétenteIQ captures it as data, so it compounds instead of evaporating: every case sharpens the valuation, the read on opposing counsel, and the game plan for the next one. The advantage is built from your firm's own results — and it belongs to your firm alone.

The problem

The most expensive negotiation your firm runs — on instinct, and it can cost your client their best possible settlement.

The compounding advantage

Every mediation you run makes the next one sharper.

Most firms start each mediation from scratch. Here, every case you close feeds the next — your valuations, your read on each opponent and neutral, your settlement history. It isn't a feature you switch on; it's an asset your firm builds, and it grows every time you use it.

Case 1

Ahead of instinct on day one

From your very first matter you negotiate with evidence, not memory — a defensible range and a plan in place of a legal pad.

Case 50

Your patterns emerge

Which neutrals actually settle your cases, how each adjuster really moves, what your matters truly settle for — drawn from your own results, not a generic database.

Case 200+

An edge no one can buy

Your firm negotiates from its own accumulated history — deeper every quarter, impossible for a competitor to replicate, and yours to keep.

One product · the whole process

From picking the neutral to naming the last number.

DétenteIQ isn't a point tool bolted onto your practice — it runs the entire mediation, in order. Choose the right neutral, learn who's across the table, ground your own numbers, then get coached through the room live. Every step feeds the next.

Step 1 of 4 · Mediator selection

The right neutral for this case — chosen by evidence.

Your whole roster of mediators, ranked for the case in front of you. Pick PI-Auto, med-mal, construction defect — any case type — and the shortlist re-sorts by who actually settles that kind of case, at your venue, with your firm's own reviews attached.

  • Recommendations by case type and venue — not reputation
  • Settlement rate, rounds-to-deal, and evaluative vs. facilitative style
  • Your firm's star ratings and private notes on every neutral
  • A living roster that sharpens each time a session is logged

Step 2 of 4 · Opponent research

Know your opponent before you reach the table.

How opposing counsel, the adjuster, and the carrier actually negotiate — built from your firm's own history against them, not a generic database. Walk in knowing their opening play and how far they'll move.

  • Aggressiveness, settlement rate, and how far off opening they land
  • Whether they open at policy limits — and their concession timing
  • A matchup forecast scaled to this case's damages
  • Every prior encounter, so no associate starts from zero

4 of 5 settled, all at rounds 4–6 — he does not move early. Anchor low, keep increments small, and expect the real concession late.
Step 3 of 4 · Valuation

Value the case before you value the offer.

A rational settlement range built from your damages, the fault split, and your firm's own comparable outcomes — so you set your floor and ceiling from evidence, and every number you name is one you can defend to the adjuster.

  • Rational range: floor, probable value, and ceiling — capped at limits
  • Per-plaintiff valuation with win %, comparative fault, and net-to-client
  • Firm-benchmark comps: what matters like this actually settled for
  • Split limits, indemnity, and multi-party exposure handled

Step 3 of 4 · Game plan

Walk in with a game plan, not guesswork.

An opening, a target, and a walk-away you can justify line by line — plus a round-by-round concession plan tuned to this opponent. The assistant drafts it from your matter's own data and flags any figure it can't support.

  • The Number: opening, target, and walk-away, each with its rationale
  • A diminishing-increment concession sequence for the room
  • Opponent-specific tactics drawn from your history against them
  • A grounded assistant that never invents a settlement figure

The Number

Walk-away$1,150,000

The mediator's leverage
Hon. Alvarez is evaluative — he'll pressure both carriers. Bring documented specials; he moves on evidence, not posturing.
Concession sequence · 6 rounds
$312k $520k $700k $850k $960k $1.05M
Diminishing steps toward target — hold the ceiling for the close.
Against Wright & Cole
He holds and breaks late — don't chase early rounds. Anchor low, keep increments small, and expect real movement at rounds 5–6. Bracket once the gap is under 2×.
Assistant · grounded in this matter
"What's my opening, and why?"
Open at $312k — 8% of your $1.05M target. It anchors low without insulting the room, and leaves six credible steps to your walk-away. Wright opens high and holds, so a low, well-explained anchor resets his reference point.
⚠ Verify: "$6.2M exposure" does not appear in this matter's data — confirm before relying on it. The assistant will not use an unsupported figure.
Step 4 of 4 · Live tracker & coach

Adapt to every number, in real time.

Log each offer, demand, and bracket as it lands, and the coach reads the room back to you — where the deal sits against the rational band, whose move it is, and the exact counter to make next, with reasoning you can say out loud to the adjuster.

  • A live rational band with every side's position plotted on it
  • The recommended next move — sized, defensible, and ceiling-aware
  • Multi-party and per-claim tracking, brackets, and joint offers
  • A full, timestamped record of the whole negotiation
