Evaluation frame
Measure queue health before claiming backlog relief.

The credible proof path is operational: compare the same intake, correction, service, scheduling, packet-readiness, and decision-ready metrics before and after the workflow layer is introduced.

01Baseline

Capture current queue age, first-touch timing, deficiency return rate, service/proof exceptions, and scheduled-not-ready matters.

02Controlled pilot

Use one limited workflow lane with fictional training records or approved pilot records and a defined review team.

03Compare movement

Review median timing, aged work, correction loops, packet readiness, and supervisor attention items against the baseline.

04Publish safely

Share aggregate operational movement only. Do not publish party details, sealed content, or staff-specific narratives.

30 / 60 / 90 day pilot
A practical review sequence.
Day 0–30Set the baseline.

Map the active filing lane, identify queue owners, record current age bands, and confirm which packet states are visible today.

Day 31–60Run a focused workflow pilot.

Move a bounded set of filings through upload, review, correction, scheduling, service/proof, and packet readiness.

Day 61–90Compare operational movement.

Evaluate first-touch time, correction turnaround, queue age, slotting lag, packet-ready rate, and recurring blockers.

Evaluation boundaries
Keep the claim narrow.
  • Measure operational movement, not case outcomes.
  • Compare aggregate queues, not individual litigants.
  • Keep judicial decision-making outside the pilot claim.
  • Document configuration gaps separately from product capability.
Pilot scorecard
Metrics that show whether the work is moving.
MetricBaseline questionPilot indicatorPublic-safe reporting
Median intake first touchHow long until a received filing is first reviewed?First review occurs inside the visible queue.Median and age-band trend.
Deficiency turnaroundHow long do correction loops stay open?Returned, corrected, abandoned, and replaced items are separated.Median turnaround and correction closure codes.
Service/proof exceptionsHow many scheduled matters lack proof or service readiness?Exceptions surface before the hearing date.Aggregate exception count by age band.
Items awaiting slottingWhich matters are ready but not scheduled?Scheduling need appears as queue work, not a hidden calendar task.Pending slotting count and lag trend.
Packet-ready rateWhich matters are scheduled but not review-ready?Packet status follows the same filing record downstream.Percent packet-ready by hearing window.
