# Criterica Capital

> Criterica Capital is for the person who has to decide whether to take capital against a legal claim, or to provide it, and wants to know what the claim is worth before anyone signs. It prices cases, case lists and portfolios from the court record (outcome, timing and range) and prepares each request for independent funders, who each decide on their own and set any terms in writing. It works with plaintiffs (through their attorney), contingency-fee law firms, litigation finance funds, portfolio owners and medical providers. Part of Criterica (criterica.com), headquartered in Palm Beach, Florida.

Each funder reviews the request on its own and sets any terms in writing, within the limits each state or province sets. Models, data, audits, APIs and research live on Criterica Intelligence (https://critericaintelligence.com).
