A Palisade Case Study
Solis Financial Forensics LLC, led by founder David Solis, provides valuation and forensic economic services to attorneys handling complex litigation. The firm’s challenge is projecting future economic damages (lost earnings, lost profits, diminution of value) where key inputs—growth rates, discount rates, future loss periods, inflation, and variable costs—are uncertain; to support expert reports and testimony Solis needed a rigorous way to quantify a range of possible outcomes. To meet this need he uses Palisade’s @RISK.
Palisade’s @RISK applies Monte Carlo simulation, allowing Solis to enter probability distributions and ranges (informed by historical averages and economic forecasts) and run many iterations to produce outcome distributions. The result is measurable: Solis Financial Forensics LLC can present defensible, probability-based ranges for lost profits and other damages, giving clearer insight into potential outcomes and a stated degree of certainty for litigation analysis and expert testimony.
