Bad Faith Check

Diagnose whether a legal dispute is a structural artifact of manufactured bad faith — rules that price silence at zero and action at a cost. Based on the Affected Party Doctrine and mechanism design theory.

Based on published research · "The Manufacturing of Bad Faith" · SSRN June 2026 → Network Proximity Check (expert impartiality tool)
▸ How this tool works
Step 1 — Input
Paste all your case materials Court transcripts, expert reports, correspondence, contracts, emails, evidence filings — everything in one place. The more you provide, the more precise the analysis.
Step 2 — Entity Extraction
The engine separates the nouns It identifies the Active Party, the Passive Party, Variable A (the interdependence), and Variable B (the documented irregularity the Passive Party held privately).
Step 3 — Three-Phase Diagnostic
Missing Half Check → Nash Equilibrium → Engine Simulation Phase I identifies the structural trap. Phase II proves silence was mathematically rational. Phase III simulates how the dispute resolves under a notice-and-cure loop.
Important: This tool analyses the information you provide — it does not independently search for case records, evidence, or court filings. Gather and paste all relevant materials (PDFs, transcripts, correspondence, reports) before running the analysis. If Variable A or Variable B cannot be isolated from your materials, the tool will tell you what is missing.
