Every case evaluated in the Valryn platform is scored against comparable verdicts from the same case type, state, and county. Scoring is powered by OpenAI embeddings indexed in PostgreSQL (pgvector + HNSW) and augmented with real-time CourtListener search.
Verdicts referenced on these pages are illustrative benchmarks based on public-record personal injury outcomes. They are not legal advice and past verdicts do not guarantee future results.
