## Case Studies
- [Wildfire business destruction: a claim inventory, not a claim](https://rule703.com/case-studies/wildfire-business-destruction-a-claim-inventory-not-a-claim/): Hundreds of destroyed and interrupted businesses, one model that had to hold per claimant and at scale — with much of the evidence burned along with the premises\.
- [Wage\-and\-hour: whether damages were computable on common proof](https://rule703.com/case-studies/wage-and-hour-whether-damages-were-computable-on-common-proof/): Certification did not turn on the legal theory\. It turned on whether the timekeeping data could produce a class\-wide number without individualised inquiry — an empirical question, answerable before anyone moved\.
- [Rebuttal: a front\-pay figure built on an assumption nobody had tested](https://rule703.com/case-studies/rebuttal-a-front-pay-figure-built-on-an-assumption-nobody-had-tested/): The opposing report was arithmetically sound\. The number was large because of one unexamined assumption about how long the loss would continue — and that assumption was where the whole figure lived\.
- [Forensic accounting: the answer was that nothing was missing](https://rule703.com/case-studies/forensic-accounting-the-answer-was-that-nothing-was-missing/): The outgoing board president said roughly $75,000 was unaccounted for\. Nearly four years of assessments and cash balances said otherwise, and that is what the report said\.
- [Fee audit: what the invoices showed, in both directions](https://rule703.com/case-studies/fee-audit-what-the-invoices-showed-in-both-directions/): The engagement was to find overbilling\. The review found questionable time entries — and also that the firm had billed below the rates its own engagement letter allowed\.

## Resources
- [Antitrust enforcement data: DOJ filings and multistate settlements](https://rule703.com/resources/antitrust-enforcement-data/): Every case the DOJ Antitrust Division has listed since 1899, set beside every multistate settlement the state attorneys general have recorded since 1983 — 2,466 filings and $287 billion, charted\.
- [U\.S\. Traffic Fatality Data, 2019–2024](https://rule703.com/resources/us-traffic-fatality-data/): Every U\.S\. county ranked by traffic fatality rate — 241,592 deaths from NHTSA’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System, 2019–2024, with the deadliest hours of the week, who is killed, and what it costs\.
