How is the Lawsuit Risk Index calculated?

The tool computes a 0-100 score from 9 inputs: industry (weighted by 2025 EcomBack distribution — retail ~69%, F&B ~21%), state (weighted by 2025 Seyfarth federal filings — NY 1,021, FL 961, IL 585, CA Unruh in state court), annual revenue, page count, public-entity status (Title II), HHS funding status (Section 504), overlay-widget presence (EcomBack 22.64% of sued sites had one), accessibility-statement presence, and time since last audit.

Is this legal advice?

No. The Lawsuit Risk Index is an educational tool that helps you understand the relative shape of your ADA web-accessibility exposure. It does not constitute legal advice. Consult a qualified attorney for binding determinations.
