Identify, categorize, and count every week of the damages window not covered by the records.
Calculate a per-week value, then multiply by the missing week count to produce damages.
Damage models support several methods for valuing each missing week. Step through the three most common below.
All six case members pool together. One per-week number applies to everyone.
Damages pool by role. Each role shares one per-week number.
Each case member's own damages and own weeks drive their own per-week number.
The data pull anchors the timeline. Three categories of missing weeks fall before, after, or inside the records.
The recorded weeks the case has on file. The model uses these directly as the timeline anchor.
Damages keep accruing past the records for current employees still on payroll.
Damages accrued before the records begin, for employees hired earlier.
Unexplained gaps inside the records the data pull does not cover.
