The ACTS Method · Screen

Every inquiry.Screened and scored.Nothing out of view

Every inquiry from a CaseLoad-managed path arrives as a lawyer-ready brief. Your team sees the situation, the priority, and the commercial context before the first callback.

Every inquiry costs the same attention

Not every inquiry carries the same weight.

Every practice has a value spectrum. A small share of matters carries most of the value.

CaseLoad Select starts by naming the difference. The firm's Desired Client and Matter Definition states, in plain language, the work the firm wants more of. The Screen applies that definition to every inquiry it touches.

1 · RoutineThe work that keeps the lights on.
2 · StandardReliable matters, modest margins.
3 · Good fitWorth the lawyer's time.
4 · Strong fitThe matters that build the practice.
5 · DesiredThe matters worth clearing the calendar for.

The intake layer of the ACTS Method

Context before the callback.

The CaseLoad Select Screen is the AI-operated intake layer inside the ACTS Method. It organizes every inquiry into a structured brief, assigns a priority band against the firm's own definition of desired work, and presents the context a lawyer needs before responding. Every inquiry arrives ranked, the lawyer selects, and the firm signs better cases.

Nothing is discarded and nothing is auto-declined. Every inquiry stays visible with its context attached.

The Screen prioritizes attention. The lawyer decides what happens next.

A demonstration brief

A clearer starting point for every inquiry.

Your team sees the situation, the reason for its priority band, commercial context, and the questions to ask next. Nothing is discarded. The brief organizes attention before the lawyer decides.

1
Confidence and gaps

How complete the picture is, and the fields the intake could not capture.

2
Captured context

Contact details with their source attached. Nothing gets re-asked.

3
The matter

What the lead is looking for help with, classified from the inquiry and shown in plain language.

4
Priority band

How quickly the firm should respond. Band A means call first.

5
The guardrail

What the brief does not assert. The classification waits for lawyer confirmation.

6
Decision

The situation in one plain sentence, ready for lawyer review.

7
Why Band A

The reasoning behind the priority, shown openly.

8
Factor scores

Value is commercial potential. Simplicity is how straightforward the facts look. Urgency is time sensitivity. Readiness is how prepared the lead is. Higher is always better.

9
Commercial angle

The fee range this matter could support. An internal estimate, never a quote.

10
Primary likely work

The work the matter will most likely require from the lawyer.

11
Likely add-ons

Related work the lead may not be aware they need. Upsell openings, flagged early.

12
Call preparation

Tips from the Screen intelligence for how to approach the lead on the callback.

A worked example.

Demonstration report · illustrative scenario only, not a real client or matter
Run it yourself

Produce a report like that one.

Walk a sample inquiry through the Screen below. It scores the inquiry, bands it, and returns the same kind of report shown above. Five questions, about five minutes, nothing to prepare.

Three sample cases, calibrated to one Band A, one Band B, and one Band C outcome. Or walk through one of your own.
From any door to one decision

One managed path in. One clear priority out.

CaseLoad Select creates demand through brand, website, search, local presence, content, and paid media. Every managed path feeds the same mechanism, and every inquiry leaves with a priority band.

The Screen

Captures the context and reads every inquiry against the firm's definition of desired work.

2 · Priority out
A
Call first

Strong alignment and the clearest case for acting on it first.

B
Standard callback

Good alignment. Follows the firm's normal callback standard.

C
Standard cadence

Visible and structured, without displacing higher priorities.

D
Refer eligible

Refer, take, or pass with full context. Never an automatic decline.

Band A means strong alignment. The band guides the next action. It never makes the legal decision.

Configured by your firm

The Screen judges inquiries against your definition of the work you want.

What the Screen applies is yours. The practice direction, the matter profile, the commercial floor, and the boundaries all come from the firm's own Desired Client and Matter Definition.

Two firms can receive the same inquiry and see different bands, because each firm defined different work. The definition is set once, reviewed when the practice changes, and applied to every inquiry in between.

You can draft your definition now. It takes about fifteen minutes.

Write your own definition

Draft your Desired Client and Matter Definition.

Eight steps. One decision at a time. Plain language throughout. The exercise does not score your answers. The result is a printable brief built from your own words, with no email required to see it.

Bring your draft to a conversation and we will pressure-test it together. Start a conversation.

One pillar of four.

All four run at the same time, from the first month. That is the ACTS Method.

Questions about the Screen

Clear answers before the first inquiry.

CaseLoad Select does. The Screen is fully AI-operated and managed on your firm's behalf. Your team never has to learn, install, or run anything.

No. It covers the gaps people cannot, like evenings, weekends, and busy lines. Your team keeps every judgment call that matters.

The Screen captures every inquiry as it arrives, qualifies it, and holds it ready. The lawyer reviews the full picture on the next working morning.

Always. The Screen gathers context and presents it clearly. The lawyer selects which matters move forward, and signs the ones worth signing.

A professional intake experience and a clear next step, every time they reach out. The kind of first impression your firm would want to make itself.

It is answered in that language, and the brief arrives translated into English. The original-language text stays preserved in the raw transcript for reference.

It is your firm's written definition of the clients and matters you want more of. The Screen reads every inquiry against it, and the rest of the marketing work is built around it. You can draft yours on this page in about fifteen minutes.
