Solution Overview

From intuition-based pricing to data-driven matter economics

Matter Economics & Profitability Intelligence, powered by Infocepts and built on Strategy’s Mosaic Model, enables law firms to move from intuition-based pricing and reactive financial management to data-driven matter economics. The platform provides real-time visibility into profitability, realization, write-offs, staffing efficiency, and budget performance across matters, clients, practices, and partners.

 

Problems It Solves

By the time the write-off hits the books, the margin is already gone.

No Real-Time Profitability Visibility

No matter-level profitability visibility exists until billing is complete — long after decisions that shaped the outcome were made.

Pricing Without a Feedback Loop

Historical matter performance is not effectively leveraged for future pricing decisions.

Budget Overruns Caught Too Late

Budget overruns are identified too late in the matter lifecycle to correct course.

Revenue Leakage

Revenue leakage occurs through write-offs, write-downs, and poor realization.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is an AI-powered financial intelligence solution from Infocepts for law firms, built on Strategy’s Mosaic Model. It gives firms real-time visibility into profitability, realization, write-offs, staffing efficiency, and budget performance across matters, clients, practices, and partners — moving pricing and financial management from intuition to evidence.

Standard reporting tells you what a matter earned once billing is complete. This tracks profitability while the work is still in progress, so the decisions that shape the outcome — staffing, scope, budget — can still be changed. By the time a write-off reaches the books, the margin is already gone.

Eight dimensions, continuously: revenue and margin performance, matter costs, realization rate, write-off rate, budget variance, timekeeper utilization, collections performance, and partner and client profitability. It analyzes matter financials, timekeeper activity, budgets, billing records, and collections data to surface risks before they affect firm performance.

AFA Pricing Intelligence uses historical matter performance and profitability trends to recommend defensible pricing. Rather than pricing an AFA on precedent and instinct, the firm prices it against what comparable matters actually cost and earned — which is what improves pricing accuracy over time.

A 15–25% improvement in matter profitability, a 20–30% reduction in write-offs, and roughly 30% faster financial decision-making, alongside real-time matter health monitoring and early detection of budget and margin risks. Actual results depend on baseline maturity, data quality, and deployment scope.

It works with existing legal practice management systems, including Elite 3E and Aderant, and is built on the Strategy Mosaic Model as its underlying data and analytics framework — so it fits the stack the firm already runs rather than replacing it.

Matter-level access controls and permissions govern who sees which matters, and firm-wide data governance applies across the platform. Partners, finance, and leadership each see their own context rather than a single shared view of everything.

Transform matter profitability with data-driven intelligence.
