Quantify Claims Automatically

This tool evaluates the financial reality of your case through the `calculate_emv` function. Cascade reads your case notes, grabs the probability variables, and runs the math without you asking. You get a hard number instead of a guess. The agent drops the expected monetary value straight into your active document so you can draft the settlement demand immediately.

Map Negotiation Zones

Windsurf calls `derive_negotiation_surfaces` to define your best and worst alternative boundaries based on raw financial inputs. Knowing your walk-away number wins cases. The IDE visualizes the exact zone of possible agreement right in your workspace. You see the overlap between your bottom line and the opposing counsel's likely maximum before drafting a single email.

Stress Test Scenarios in Windsurf MCP

Cascade triggers `perform_risk_sensitivity_analysis` to model how different risk tolerances impact your final settlement target. Win probabilities change constantly during discovery. The agent loops through multiple confidence levels autonomously. It builds a complete matrix of outcomes so your legal team knows exactly how a blown deposition affects the case value.
