How often is the TortSignal Score™ updated?

Every two hours. The pipeline ingests new federal and state docket entries, FDA actions, EPA enforcement notices, peer-reviewed publications, and curated litigation media, then recomputes Momentum, Science, Campaign, and Timeline scores.

What data sources does TortSignal use?

Federal and state court dockets (PACER and state e-filing systems), JPML MDL transfer orders and statistical reports, FDA MAUDE and FAERS, FDA recall and warning letter feeds, EPA enforcement and CERCLA designations, peer-reviewed publications (PubMed, BMJ, NEJM), and curated litigation media (Law360, Reuters, Courthouse News).

What is the difference between Signal Score and Opportunity Score?

Signal Score is a 0–100 composite measuring the strength and momentum of the underlying litigation. Opportunity Score measures attorney upside — CPL economics, plaintiff pool size, expected case value range, and current bar competition.

What does the Stage classification mean?

Late stage means the MDL is mature with a clear bellwether and settlement framework. Middle stage means active filings with rising momentum. Early stage means a pre-MDL signal — the lowest CPL economics and the highest first-mover advantage.
