Risk Analysis & Insight

Part 4: From Uncertainty to Insight: Risk Analysis for Smarter Mediation Outcomes

October 6, 2025 · 12:00 PM (Eastern Standard Time)

Explore how Next Level Mediation’s Litigation Risk Analysis Tool helps mediators, attorneys, and dispute resolution professionals make informed, data-driven decisions. The system evaluates Expected Monetary Value (EMV), Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement (BATNA), Worst Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement (WATNA), and incorporates time-based factors to create a complete picture of risk. By modeling outcomes and visualizing probabilities, the tool enables more strategic negotiations, clearer client guidance, and better-prepared settlements.

Target Audience: Mediators, arbitration professionals, attorneys, and dispute program managers who want to integrate objective, data-driven risk assessment into their case strategy.
