High stakes litigation often turns on counsel's ability to understand and persuasively explain the implications of dense statistical information. OnPoint facilitates each step of this process, from analytic programming to the creation of compelling demonstrative exhibits.

Critical differences in contract data, such as quality, duration, location, delivery and flex-quantities, are all accounted for in the architecture of OnPoint's database. Anomalous data is identified, and its accuracy assured, through statistical methods such as outlier treatment, double counting detection, intra-company exclusions, sample size targeting, and isolation and valuation of embedded optionality.

Working with all or any subset of cleansed data, OnPoint's software programs automatically generate trend, correlation, variance and other statistics. Typical studies include tracking and validation of transaction characteristics, arbitrage relationships across locations and products, weighted index creation and calculation of third party index impacts, comparison of tolling and fixed price arrangements, and comparison of bargaining power and discount structures. Using the best in options analytics, OnPoint also calculates Value at Risk and employs Monte Carlo simulations to test the possible outcomes for alternative business decisions. Additional custom routines are readily programmed by OnPoint's statisticians at the direction of counsel or expert witnesses.

Because the live database is constantly available for query, new analytics can be run at any time, even during trial or deposition. Queries can be defined to capture any subset of information: whether by entity, time period, product attribute, geography, or hundreds of other characteristics. Study results are available in a variety of charts, graphs and tables designed to be readily understood by a trier of fact. OnPoint's unique web interface allows counsel or experts to modify graph formats at will to enhance their communication effectiveness. And, when it comes to supporting these graphs on the stand, the unique PinPoint technology allows users instantly to trace each displayed data point back to a source record admissible into evidence.
