Toolkits / Settlements
II · Settlement Toolkit
Find out early whether a case can settle.
Most civil cases settle eventually, usually after both sides have spent heavily on discovery and motions. Wireroom gives each side a private place to put its position and its number on the table early, and uses AI to help work out whether a deal is within reach. Counsel stay in charge throughout, and nothing is binding until they sign.
Step by step
How it works
- 01
Screening Free
Tell us about the dispute in confidence. If it needs a ruling, an injunction or a public verdict, we’ll say so and it costs you nothing.
- 02
Your own private workspace
Counsel for each side gets a separate, signed-in portal. You enter the case details, your client’s allegations or defenses, and the figure your client would accept. The other side never sees anything you enter.
- 03
We match the two sides
Once both sides have entered the same case, we pair them up. Each side’s number stays confidential.
- 04
AI-assisted review
An AI model reads both sides’ stated positions and numbers and prepares a confidential analysis for Wireroom: a suggested figure, a reasonable range, and the reasoning behind them. The analysis is based only on what the parties submitted. Neither side sees the analysis unless both have agreed to share it (see step 5), and neither side ever sees the other’s number.
- 05
Both sides decide what gets shared
Before anything is shared, both sides agree in writing whether they’ll see Wireroom’s recommendation, and how much of it. That could be nothing at all, just whether a deal looks possible, or the suggested figure and range. We share only what both sides have agreed to, and each side’s own number is never shown to the other. Nothing is binding until counsel sign a settlement agreement.

What it costs
One flat fee per side, set when the case comes in. There’s no hourly billing, no retainer, and no percentage of any settlement.
| Amount in dispute | Each side pays |
|---|---|
| Up to $100,000 | $1,000 |
| $100,000 to $500,000 | $2,000 |
| $500,000 to $1 million | $3,000 |
| Over $1 million | $4,000 |
Less than a half day of mediation for most cases
A half-day private mediation in California often runs about $5,000, split between the sides. Here, a case up to $500,000 costs $4,000 in total, and a smaller case costs half that.
Never more than a full day
Even the largest cases come to $8,000 in total, below the roughly $10,000 a full mediation day can run.
No day to schedule
Each side works in its own portal, on its own time. Nobody has to find a date that suits two lawyers, a client, an adjuster and a mediator.
A number you can budget
The fee is set from the amount demanded at intake, so you know the cost before you start, and it doesn’t grow with hours.
We gain nothing from how it ends
The fee is the same whether or not the case settles, and it’s never a share of the settlement, so we have no reason to push either side toward a deal.
You pay only your share
Each side is billed for its own half and nothing more.
Screening is free. The fee is invoiced once both sides have opted into the AI-assisted review, and if either side withdraws before then, nobody pays. Terms are net 30 with no retainer. Invoices can carry your claim or matter number, and a W-9 is available on request.
Confidentiality
Everything you submit is treated as a confidential settlement communication. Submissions are reviewed by Wireroom staff and analyzed by an AI model provided by Anthropic. Neither side’s number is shown to the other, and the recommendation is shared only to the extent both sides have agreed in writing.
