Incremental Revenue from Freed Capacity (annualized run rate at maturity)

Chronicle frees your team from manual ERE work. That capacity can be redirected to accepting more new cases — which means more hearings, more approvals, and more contingency fees. SSD fees arrive well after a case is signed, so treat this as the run rate once the added intake matures, not as revenue in year one.
