Inputs you provide
- How many serious new-client inquiries reach the firm in a typical month?
Count planning, probate, elder-law, and related matters the firm would realistically assess.
- What share wait, go quiet, or never reach the right first conversation?
Use recent experience across calls, referrals, forms, email, screening, scheduling, and follow-up.
- When a good-fit prospect reaches a prepared consultation, what share normally retain the firm?
Use the firm’s recent performance for comparable, good-fit opportunities rather than an industry average.
- What is a typical first-engagement value for the work the firm wants to win?
Use the first agreed plan or matter only. Exclude later administration, referrals, and future family work.
- How many attorney, partner, or senior coordinator hours go into screening and intake each month?
Include screening, scheduling, reminders, repeated explanations, missing context, and routine follow-up.
- Can a family identify the right first conversation without administrative back-and-forth?

Method
- The firm supplies every operating rate and value used in the calculation. The model supplies the visible range treatment and intake interpretation.
- The calculation uses the user's recent operating inputs, keeps the modeled exposed cohort disjoint, and keeps senior time separate from the opportunity range.
Assumptions
- Your recent operating performance: The model does not substitute a universal industry benchmark for the business's own recent experience.
- One exposed customer cohort: The same prospective customer is not counted again in another stage of the model.
- first-engagement value: Lifetime value, referrals, expansion, and future transactions remain outside the calculation unless they are already inside the explicitly chosen bounded value.
- Senior attention stays separate: Time is not converted into revenue, which avoids counting the same operating friction twice.
How to interpret the result
- The result is a directional planning estimate, not verified lost revenue, causal attribution, or guaranteed recovery.
- No. It models administrative intake using the firm’s own operating numbers. Eligibility, advice, conflicts, underwriting, pursuit, and engagement decisions remain with qualified people at the firm.
- Compare the result with recent call, form, booking, proposal, and CRM records before making an operating decision.
