How it works

From a short description to a clearer pricing view.

PreciselyMaybe separates interpretation from calculation: the scope is mapped and confirmed first, focused questions refine the assumptions, and a deterministic engine calculates the result.

The flow

  1. 01

    Describe the work

    Up to 300 characters in your own words. Plain language is enough — no documents, no names.

  2. 02

    Confirm the mapped scope

    PreciselyMaybe maps the description to concrete activities. You review the work type, complexity and activity list before anything is calculated.

  3. 03

    Refine the assumptions

    Answer only the questions that can change scope, effort or risk, then add any optional fee, target rate or time estimate.

  4. 04

    Read the result

    See effort, risk, Price Fit, assumptions and jurisdiction context, with the reasoning kept visible.

How the decision is built

Interpretation and calculation stay separate.

Language models help read the scope and explain the finished result. The numeric recommendation comes from PreciselyMaybe' deterministic engine, after you confirm the assumptions.

01AI-assisted

Interpret scope

A generic description is mapped to work type, complexity and expected activities.

02User-controlled

Confirm assumptions

You adjust the activity list and answer only questions that can change effort or risk.

03Deterministic

Calculate result

The deterministic engine calculates hours, risk, scenarios and Price Fit. AI does not own this math.

04Evidence layer

Add context

Verified public jurisdiction references are shown when available, with their limits made explicit.

What the output includes

Every number is calculated from the work identified and explained line by line.

Extra-work riskMedium
Estimated time
An activity-based range, not a single guess.
Value per hour
Your proposed fee divided by the estimated time range.
Extra-work risk
Low, medium or high, driven by named scope-expansion factors.
Price Fit
A 0–100 reading shown only when a proposed fee exists.
Missing scope items
The work most often forgotten in this kind of matter.
Pricing context
Public references with their source, strength and legal meaning.

Effort range, not a single number

Activities accumulate into a minimum and a maximum. The longer-work scenario widens only when real uncertainty drivers are present.

How Price Fit reads

Price Fit describes alignment with the mapped work. It never says a fee is correct or fair.

The math is visible

No hidden multipliers. Value per hour is a division you can check yourself.

Why it helps

01

Scope becomes explicit

The activities behind a matter are listed before a number is discussed, so nothing quietly disappears from the price.

02

A defensible starting point

An effort range built from named tasks is easier to explain to a client than an instinct.

03

The expansion risk is named

Unknown revision rounds, ancillary documents and authority dependencies are surfaced instead of absorbed.

04

Same reasoning in three languages

The interface, questions and explanations work in English, Portuguese and Spanish.

What PreciselyMaybe combines

PreciselyMaybe puts four things in one place: a reading of the scope you described, focused questions that adapt to the practice area, a pricing estimate based on the work involved, and public pricing context presented with its source and limitations.
