A Case Strength grade and a Funding Readiness score, drawn from eight published, evidence-linked factors. Every score reviewable. Every factor explained.
Case Strength measures whether the matter is good on its merits. Funding Readiness measures whether it is ready to be presented to capital. A single blended number conceals which problem you have to solve. Keeping the two separate is the point.
A rating is a letter-and-number coordinate. A B2 has strong fundamentals and is near-ready for outreach. A C4 has solid fundamentals but material gaps to close before it goes to a funder. An A1 is the ceiling: top-tier merits, fully funding-ready.

Four factors weight to the letter grade. Together they capture the matter’s standalone merits independent of how ready it is to be funded.
Whether the legal theory holds up. Established precedent, statutory basis, coherence of the claim, and survival of early challenges.
Whether recovery is realistic. Defendant solvency, entity type, and the jurisdictional path to enforce a judgment.
Whether the claimed range is credible. Proportionality to the defendant profile, supported by standard valuation methodologies.
Where the case stands and what that means in this venue. Stage advantage, forum context, procedural leverage.
Four factors weight to the readiness score (1 best, 5 worst). Readiness is independent of strength — a top-tier matter with a thin evidence package or an aggressive funding ask is not yet a 1.
Whether the firm can execute. Relevant experience, practice-area fit, and the professionalism of the submission itself.
Whether the document package supports the allegations. Relevance, completeness, and corroboration of the core claims.
Reasonableness of the funding ask vs. claim value, defendant capacity, and duration — the calibration between what’s being requested and what the matter can support.
How long the case will take and what it will cost. Timeline, capital lockup, appeal exposure. Higher score here means lower risk.
Every weight is published. Every score links to the evidence that drove it. Every factor explains what it’s measuring. Counsel cannot edit the Rating — it re-derives from the case whenever the inputs change, which is precisely what makes it credible to a funder. The CaseFin Rating is AI-assisted, not black-box. Funders shouldn’t have to trust the number; they should be able to trace it.
Every matter earns its place on the matrix through published weights, evidence-linked analysis, and reviewable factor explanations.
