A portfolio dashboard aggregates matter status, spend, reserves, cycle time, and outcome metrics across a book of litigation. It typically supports filtering by firm, venue, matter type, and severity.
Data quality depends on consistent capture across matters.

Litigation Dashboard, Matter Dashboard
Why it Matters?
Dashboards are only as good as the data feeding them, and inconsistent matter coding produces reports that look authoritative and mislead. The value when the data is sound is identifying outliers that individual matter review would not surface: venues where defense cost consistently exceeds indemnity, firms whose cycle times diverge from peers, and matter types resolving at values inconsistent with the reserve pattern.
