A sample workflow, start to finish
One example: a client has a Statement of Reasons, the government’s written list of its concerns (an SOR), raising financial considerations and personal conduct (Guidelines F and E, the two most common in the record). The workflow is identical for any of the 13 adjudicative guidelines, in any combination.
Find the analogs.
Search decisions charged under the same guideline set, open the closest one, and read the ranked list of similar decisions beneath it.
Split favorable from unfavorable.
Send the useful ones to the comparison table and read the same rows across each decision.
Check the judge.
Read the assigned judge's published record by guideline and by year, with the denominator on every figure.
Inspect appeal treatment.
See which of those decisions were affirmed, reversed, or remanded, and on what ground.
Export for the file.
