PI Intake Exposure Calculator

Enter a few rough estimates to see a directional range of intake loss exposure from delayed or missed first contact. This is not legal advice and does not evaluate case quality.

This estimate is intentionally conservative and directional. It does not evaluate staff effort or firm competence, and does not imply any obligation to act.

Rough estimates are fine — most firms don’t track these precisely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this legal advice or a case evaluation?

No. This is a directional intake reliability estimate only. It does not evaluate case merit, liability, damages, or your legal performance.

Are these numbers “lost cases”?

Not necessarily. This shows a directional range of signed case value exposure associated with first-contact gaps. It’s meant to clarify where reliability tends to break under pressure — not to claim every missed contact becomes a lost case.

 Why does the number feel larger than I expected?

Because intake loss is structurally invisible. It usually doesn’t show up in reports, voicemail logs, or CRM dashboards in a way that clearly connects first-contact timing to who retained counsel.

What if we don’t know our after-hours share or peak-load frequency?

That’s normal. The calculator includes conservative “not sure” options so you can still get a usable directional range without perfect tracking.

What does this calculator include and exclude?

Included: directional modeling of common pressure windows (after-hours gaps, peak-load overflow, callback delay).
Excluded: case quality/screening, downstream settlement performance, referral intake, web forms/chat, ad strategy/lead quality, and closing performance once consult occurs.

Does seeing this mean we need to change something immediately?

No. Recognition does not require immediate action. Many firms review analyses like this and make no changes for extended periods. The point is visibility — decisions can come later, if and when you want them.

What’s a reasonable “first” improvement target?

A common approach is to reduce exposure at one pressure window first (e.g., after-hours or peak-load). Partial containment is often enough to materially improve reliability — without trying to “solve everything.”
