Calmly Resolve Get the benchmark
The method

One published standard. Both parties read the same report.

Every claim Calmly values is valued under the Calmly Resolve Assessment Methodology Standard. It is published, versioned and changed only under change control. Anyone can read it.

What the standard is
Published

The full text is public. There is no private version and no method a claim can be valued under that is not in it.

Versioned

Every report states the version it was produced under. The current version is 1.1, dated 2 September 2026. No unversioned method values a claim.

Under change control

Changes go through Calmly's own method board. A change is dated, numbered and published before it applies to any claim.

The same report to both parties

Both parties to a dispute receive the full valuation report at the same time. Nothing is shown to one side and withheld from the other.

Checked

Outcome data from every resolved case accumulates into a published record of what the method predicted against what happened. That record is checked periodically by an independent accountant under agreed-upon procedures.

A line from the product's help pages: the method is a public, versioned standard, at version 1.1, and every valuation states the version it was produced under.
The version line, as the product states it. Every valuation carries the version it was produced under.

How a claim is valued

In outline. The standard has the detail.

The method prices each admitted claim from a researched tree of the paths a claim of its kind can take: settlement before issue, settlement after, judgment, and collection. Three claim-level factors adjust the result. Solvency: the expected share of any agreed or ordered sum that can actually be collected. Evidence: how much the site's records shift the claim towards early settlement or towards litigation. Claim class: the fee schedule that applies, and whether the class is in the launch book at all.

At launch the factor values are set by judgement, within bands stated in advance. As cases resolve, predicted and realised recovery are published by tier, and the bands are revised under change control.

The first two sections of the valuation report. Section 1, the dispute: a table of claimant, other party, site, transaction, amount, outcome sought, claim class and the route to the report. Section 2, evidence considered: a numbered manifest of nine documents with their source and date, and a note of what was not available.
The first two of the report's eight sections: the dispute, and the evidence considered as a numbered manifest. Every later finding cites these numbers.

What it does not do
  • It does not promise an outcome. A valuation is an expected value under a stated method, not a prediction of what any one claim will recover.
  • It does not decide the dispute. Calmly is not a judge or an arbitrator, and does not deal with the other party on the participant's behalf.
  • It is not countersigned. No institution countersigns an individual report. The standard itself is the only independence statement, and it is public.
  • It is not a forecast for any site. The method values claims. It says nothing about how many disputes a site will have, or what cover will do to its volume. The measured trial exists to find that out.
  • Its accuracy record begins with the first trial, at the founding-site stage we are at now, and is published in full from it.

The standard is the only independence statement we make.

We would rather you read the method than take our word for it. The full text, its version history and the change-control rule are public.
