Our first editorial year on litigation-financing.ai tracks one thesis: litigation is a cost engineering problem that AI can illuminate — but only if funders and counsel keep humans in the loop. This retrospective maps what we published, what shipped in product, and the 2027 editorial calendar.
Themes we covered
- AI & screening — automation limits, hallucination controls, silo security
- True cost stacks — external, internal, post-judgment
- Waste & burn reports — seven line items
- Jurisdiction bands — Germany; UK via disclosure checklist
- Payments & agents — x402, Stripe, MCP intake
- Due diligence — execution chains
- Case archive — Ledger, ShareWood, Buchbinder, HG Lab from litigation-financing.io
What shipped (product)
- Case screening API with $50 gate — Stripe + x402 on Base mainnet
- Burn calculator on homepage
- Bilingual blog with JSON-LD and llms.txt
- Worker intake with zip quarantine and REF lifecycle
2027 calendar (editorial)
Counsel bid markets, production merits rubric on isolated hardware, public CLI and OpenAPI for agent integrators, CH cost bands, enforcement stack deep-dive. Subscribe: [email protected].

Best entry post?True cost stack.
Reader paths by persona
- Claimant / GC — cost stack → seven spends → screening
- Counsel — execution chains → UK disclosure → hallucination controls
- Developer — x402 → agent intake → llms.txt
- Funder ops — internal costs → Germany brackets → burn calculator
Metrics we watch (editorial)
Screening REF volume, Stripe vs x402 mix, blog referrers from LLM crawlers, time-on-page on pillar posts — informs 2027 calendar prioritisation.
Post-by-post guide (editorial library)
Cost engineering:True cost stack, internal costs, Germany brackets, review curve, seven wastes.
AI & product:screening, hallucinations, silo, x402, Stripe, agents.
Cross-border diligence:execution chains, UK disclosure.
What we learned in year one
Readers engage deepest with phased cost models and anonymous methodology — not generic AI hype. Agent traffic grew once x402 shipped; Stripe remains majority rail. German and English bilingual structure helps DACH and UK counsel share links internally.
2027 priorities (detailed)
Q1: Public CLI, OpenAPI 3.1, Custom GPT template. Q2: Production merits rubric, counsel bid market beta. Q3: Switzerland cost bands, enforcement stack article. Q4: Year-two retrospective, portfolio analytics for fund ops.
All editorial remains anonymised for screening and methodology — case marketing stays in archive.
Archive vs editorial
Archive posts (Ledger, ShareWood, etc.) are case marketing and news — long-form by nature. Editorial pillars are cost engineering and product methodology — we expanded all fifteen editorial posts in 2026 to full depth with FAQ, glossary, and cross-links. Start anywhere; graph is densely linked.
