One specialist report. Several layers of context.
What the report reveals
More than whether an adjustment happened.
Which mechanisms were recorded, how often, and how the awards differ when they are present.
Understand the mechanisms recorded in published awards, how frequently they appear and how award distributions differ when those mechanisms are present.
How do the amounts differ?
Compare recorded award distributions with and without an identified mechanism, for supported claim types, where at least 30 awards are available.
What do those findings mean?
Read plain-language explanations of the mechanism, the relevant population and why a comparison should not be treated as a calculation for a personal case.

The recorded amounts already include the adjustment. Cases with an adjustment tend to differ in other ways too, so the gap is not the adjustment alone.

A crucial distinction
Study the recorded award. Don't recalculate it.
Published amounts already reflect mechanisms applied in the decision. Yerty investigates those recorded figures. It doesn't apply a percentage to someone's salary or produce a new net compensation estimate.
- ✓Historical observations, not personal forecasts
- ✓Separate frequency from monetary comparisons

Specialist depth
The detail behind a broader benchmark.
Case Benchmark covers the whole claim type; Claim Adjustments goes deep on one question.
Case Benchmark brings outcomes, awards and procedural features together for a primary claim type. Claim Adjustments goes deeper into one question: how recorded adjustment mechanisms appear alongside monetary awards.
Use it when the broader picture isn't enough and the adjustment mechanisms deserve their own investigation.

How it works
From question to a focused research briefing.
You control generation; a credit is spent only when you confirm.
You control the report-generation step. Ask Yerty can help open a prepared report builder, but a report credit is only spent after you confirm generation.
Choose a claim type
Start with the supported claim type you want to investigate. The report measures historical awards for that research population.
Review and confirm
Check the report request and confirm generation. A report credit is spent only when you choose to generate.
Explore and ask further
Read the resulting comparisons and, from the saved report, use Ask Yerty to explain stored figures and terminology.
Good to know
Clear findings. Careful interpretation.
A historical research tool with practical boundaries, explained where they matter.
Does the report calculate my compensation?
No. It compares recorded historical awards, including cases where an adjustment mechanism was identified. It doesn't apply adjustments to your own salary, facts or potential compensation.
Are adjusted amounts recalculated?
No. Amounts in the published decisions already incorporate the mechanisms the tribunal applied. The report does not calculate a new adjusted award.
Can a mechanism belong to another claim in the case?
Yes. Mechanism flags can be case-level, so a flag identified on a case containing a wages claim may relate to another claim in that case. The report says when that is so.
Will every claim type have the same breakdowns?
No. The available analysis and explanatory content vary by claim family and the amount of usable published information. A comparison is withheld where fewer than 30 awards are available.
Can Ask Yerty discuss the report?
Yes. When opened from a supported saved report, Ask Yerty can use its stored figures to explain metrics and definitions. It does not independently recalculate the report.
