Solution Overview
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
No matter-level profitability visibility exists until billing is complete — long after decisions that shaped the outcome were made.
Historical matter performance is not effectively leveraged for future pricing decisions.
Budget overruns are identified too late in the matter lifecycle to correct course.
Revenue leakage occurs through write-offs, write-downs, and poor realization.
How It Works
The platform continuously analyzes matter financials, timekeeper activity, budgets, billing records, and collections data to surface profitability risks and opportunities before they impact firm performance. The agent monitors:
Track revenue growth and profitability across matters.
Monitor costs to maintain financial control.
Measure billed revenue against recorded work.
Track revenue lost through write-offs and adjustments.
Compare actual spend against planned budgets.
Monitor resource productivity and billable efficiency.
Track payment recovery and collection effectiveness.
Evaluate partner performance and client profitability.

FAQs
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.
