How is intake leakage calculated?
It applies your slow-or-missed-response rate to monthly inquiries to get leaked inquiries, multiplies by your would-have-signed rate to get lost cases, multiplies by average case fee, and annualizes over twelve months. Every rate is an assumption you can adjust.
How much intake do firms really lose?
Studies routinely find a large share of legal inquiries get no callback or a slow one, and many of those prospects sign with whoever responds first. Start around 40 percent slow-or-missed and tune it to your firm.
