What you're facing

The most common other issues people bring to Ratio.

Real scenarios

Composite cases drawn from common other matters. Names changed; facts representative.

Not sure which category

Your situation doesn’t fit neatly into a category — maybe several issues overlap, or the law is unfamiliar.

OutcomeRatio asks plain-language questions and maps your facts against the most-likely legal framework, then hands you a structured file you can take to a solicitor.

Multiple issues tangled together

A single problem can cross categories: housing disrepair plus landlord harassment plus a missing deposit, for example.

OutcomeRatio separates the strands and flags each potential claim so nothing gets lost when you’re getting advice.

You just want to understand

You’re not ready to sue — you just want to know what your rights are and what a reasonable next step looks like.

OutcomeRatio gives you a structured summary of the relevant law and the typical pathway, with clear next actions.

Frequently asked

What if my situation spans more than one category?

Many do. Ratio identifies each strand separately — e.g. housing disrepair + landlord harassment + deposit — so nothing gets lost.

Is Ratio legal advice?

No. Ratio structures the information you provide so a solicitor can advise faster. It does not assess your chances, predict outcomes, or recommend action.

Do I need to pay before seeing the output?

No — the summary tier is free. Paid tiers add full structure, court-pathway guidance, and a professional-pack export.

What if I’m not in England or Wales?

Ratio’s legal framework is England and Wales. Scottish and Northern-Irish matters share principles but different statutes — we’ll flag this clearly during intake.

Can I save my progress and come back?

Yes. Create an account to save; without one, your draft is saved locally in your browser.

Ready to structure your other matter?

Free to begin. No account required. Most clients complete their file in about 14 minutes.
