Don't Wait for the Courthouse Steps to Settle
Traditional mediation wastes hours posturing. We combine mediation tactics with "Triple Blind Deal Detection" technology to find any settlement overlap instantly—without you ever having to show your hand.
The "Old Model" is Broken. In the standard litigation cycle, mediation is treated as a checkbox event weeks before trial. By that point, depositions have been taken, experts have been paid, and both sides are entrenched. The result? A "half-day" session where most of the time is spent posturing for a mediator's proposal. And most of the time, parties walk away without a resolution.
We believe there is a better way.
The Early Intervention Model
A Neutral Settlement Architect, Not Just a Referee
When you book with Joe Jones, you are not blocking out 8 hours months from now in a conference room. You are engaging a neutral party to enter the case today.
My process begins with a simple Introductory Strategy Call.
- Early Entry: I am ideally engaged as a neutral prior to, or early in, the discovery process.
- Continuous Engagement: We don't wait for a single "mediation day." We look for settlement windows immediately.
- Cost Containment: By identifying the settlement value early, we prevent both the Plaintiff and the Defense from expending exorbitant resources on litigation that doesn't add value to the claim.
How it Works
Step 1: The Intro Call
Don't book a full day. Instead, each side schedules a 30-minute video conference for counsel to brief me on the core issues.
Client presence is optional.
Step 2: The Threshold Test
After ensuring that both sides have the requisite information to meaningfully evaluate the case, the parties utilize StreamSettle's "Triple Blind" deal detection to test for the possibility of immediate resolution.
Step 3: The Resolution (or Pivot)
If a deal is not detected, each side schedules an additional 30-minute video conference. During this conference, I will use mediation tactics to attempt to bring the parties closer together. This will focus on information exchange rather than going back-and-forth with numbers. If no deal can be reached, I will assist the parties in devising a streamlined discovery plan to bridge any specific gap. At this time, we will also calendar the next date to threshold test.

The "Triple Blind" Safety
Cut through Posturing
Negotiation often fails because neither side wants to "bid against themselves." As the Founder and CEO of StreamSettle, I utilize proprietary Triple-Blind Deal Detection technology to remove this fear.

Plaintiff and Defense counsel securely input their confidential True Settlement Threshold (TST) into the platform.

Neither side sees the other’s number. Additionally, StreamSettle and I are also blind to the inputs.
The Process
The Result: No Overlap Detected
The "Triple Blind" Safety
Using a patent pending process and advanced encryption protocols, the system detects if there is an overlap without knowing or revealing the inputted numbers.
The Result: Overlap Detected
The Result: No Overlap Detected
The Result: No Overlap Detected
If the defendant is willing to pay at least as much as the plaintiff is willing to accept, the case settles instantly at the midpoint of the overlap.
The Result: No Overlap Detected

The Result: No Overlap Detected
If the inputs do not overlap, no one’s position is revealed, leverage is maintained, and we schedule a time to threshold test again, typically prior to the next costly milestone in the case.
