Case strength scoring, outcome prediction, and the critical vulnerability you almost missed. No account required.
Example: Employment Discrimination (ADEA)
Tolling Exception Gap
The ADEA requires a charge with the EEOC within 180 days (or 300 in deferral states). If the client has not yet filed, timing is critical and may already be compromised.
Mixed-Motive Vulnerability
Budget constraints may have been a genuine concurrent factor. Under Gross, ADEA requires but-for causation — a higher bar than mixed-motive Title VII claims.
Settlement Landscape
ADEA cases with this pattern of statistical evidence settle in the mid-six figures 60-70% of the time. Courts are increasingly receptive to disparate impact evidence in RIF contexts.
Load-Bearing Element
The entire case rests on the inference chain: VP comments + termination timing + replacement pattern = discriminatory intent. If any link weakens, the structure collapses.
CRITICAL VULNERABILITY
Replacement Hire Timing
The two junior engineers hired the following month may have been planned before the RIF. If defendant can produce a requisition dated before the termination decision, the “replacement” inference collapses — they become parallel hires, not replacements.
Without this evidence, the strongest argument (pretext via replacement) becomes the weakest. Discovery must target hire requisition dates immediately.

Executive Brief
The but-for causation standard under Gross is the hidden fulcrum of this case. While the statistical pattern is compelling, the defense need only establish one plausible non-discriminatory reason to shift the narrative. Discovery should target the VP’s decision-making process, not just the outcome.
Cases with this fact pattern settle 60-70% of the time in the mid-six figures. The judicial landscape favors early, aggressive motion practice to establish the statistical evidence before the defense can fragment the narrative through individual-capacity arguments.
The inferential chain is structurally sound but has one critical dependency: the replacement hire timing. If the requisitions predate the RIF decision, the entire structure needs re-engineering around the VP’s statements alone — which is circumstantial but survivable.

A4 Truth Table
Orvis v. Johnson, 2008 UT 2, ¶ 6 — Authority verified. Holding correctly characterized. Fact supported in record. No omitted authorities. Relief logically follows.
Triarsi v. BSC Group, 2022 UT App 101 — Non sequitur detected: the fact (tenant failed to pay rent) + the authority (lease termination clause) does NOT equal the relief sought (emotional distress damages). The logical chain breaks at the causal nexus.
Omitted authority:Park v. Highland Mgmt, 2021 UT App 89, reaches the opposite conclusion on this exact issue. Opposing counsel will cite it. Rule 3.3 risk if you don’t address it first.
Every argument decomposed into Law, Fact, and Inference. Each component tested independently through formal deductive gates. If the math doesn’t work, neither does the argument.
Cross-Case Contradiction
Financial declaration in custody filing (Exhibit A) lists income $85K. Deposition transcript in divorce (Exhibit 14, p. 47:12-18) states income “approximately $120,000.” $35K discrepancy — flagged for impeachment.

Critic’s Caveat
The discovery rule tolls the statute, but only if plaintiff can demonstrate they could not reasonably have discovered the fraud earlier. Recommend deposing the accountant who prepared the 2021 returns to establish the concealment timeline.
