Scenarios

A strategy is only as good as its worst day. Scenarios let you ask the questions that keep you up at night — "what if the key document can't be produced?", "what if the notice was out of time?" — and see exactly how the strategy moves: which grounds weaken, which survive untouched, and how the overall posture shifts.

Testing a scenario​

  1. Open a finished strategy report and click + New scenario in the version strip at the top of the grounds rail.

  2. Type the contingency in plain language — for example:

    What if the income-tax returns cannot be produced even at the appellate stage?

  3. Judicio re-evaluates the report against that assumption and produces a delta — not a whole new strategy, but a precise statement of what changes.

Credit Cost

Each scenario run costs 5 credits. The original report is never consumed or altered by a scenario.

Reading the delta​

A scenario answer has three parts:

  • Affected grounds — which grounds the scenario touches. Untouched grounds are listed as unaffected, so you know the blast radius.
  • Strength deltas — per-ground strength changes, shown as from → to (for example, Ground 3: moderate → weak). A delta strip pinned above the report tabs summarises every move at a glance, and changed grounds carry a blue change-ring in the grounds rail.
  • Revised narrative and confidence — what the change means in practice, how to adapt the argument order, and the revised overall confidence (leaning favourable / balanced / leaning unfavourable).
Ask the vulnerability list

The neutral evaluation already names your vulnerabilities and the likely bench questions. The highest-value scenarios are usually those exact items turned into questions — "what if the bench doesn't allow the additional evidence?" — so you know in advance whether the appeal survives its worst answer.

Versions — the original stays intact​

Every scenario creates a named child version of the report. The version strip at the top of the grounds rail shows the whole family — Initial, then one named chip per scenario — and the grounds below always belong to the selected chip:

  • The Initial report is never modified — you can always flip back to it.
  • Each scenario version is saved under a short generated name, with its question, its deltas, and its revised confidence, so versions stay comparable side by side. Expand the strip (the chevron next to the chips) to see every version's card — question, run date, per-ground strength strip, and the confidence shift.
  • Exports are per version — export the base strategy for the brief, and the pessimistic scenario for chambers preparation.

From scenario to action​

A scenario is most useful when it changes what you do next:

  • If a ground drops to weak under a plausible scenario, work the evidence gaps that would prevent it — the gap entries name the cure.
  • If the scenario exposes a question you can't yet answer, rehearse it in a moot court session — the bench will ask it.
  • If the strategy survives the scenario comfortably, say so in the advice note — a stress-tested opinion is worth more than a confident one.
