Yerty Index · the data behind the Intelligence Hub

Structured tribunal intelligence you can query and cite.

The Yerty Index™ structures what happened across tribunal cases — claims, outcomes, awards and timelines — so answers trace to real decisions, not estimates.

What it is

A structured record, not a scrape.

Tribunal outcomes arrive scattered and unstructured — across thousands of decisions, each written differently, with no common schema.

The Yerty Index™ reads the whole corpus into one queryable dataset. It is the foundation every Yerty product stands on — which is why answers trace to real decisions, not estimates.

Why structured data

Three ways to answer a legal question. Only one can benchmark.

Retrieval AI

Reads a few judgments and summarises. Useful for "what did this case say" — but it can't count across the record, so it estimates.

Rules engines

Encode what the law says. Useful for "what are the requirements" — but they hold no record of what tribunals actually decided.

Yerty Index

Structures 160,000+ real outcomes. So "how often, how much, compared to what" is computed from the actual record — and cited to source.

Benchmarking is a statistical question. It needs the whole record, structured — not a sample, and not a rulebook.

Proof

From published judgment to structured record.

A decision on GOV.UK arrives as unstructured text. In Yerty Index the same fields are read, verified, and held as queryable data — cited back to source. Below is a fictional example showing the transformation; it is not a real case.

JUDGMENT [ILLUSTRATIVE EXCERPT]
The unanimous judgment of the Tribunal is that the complaint of unfair dismissal
is well-founded. The respondent shall pay to the claimant the sum of £12,000.00
comprising a basic award of £2,000.00 and a compensatory award of £10,000.00.
The claimant's application for costs is refused.

Ownership

A public record, a protected asset.

The source is open to everyone. The structured, verified Index we build from it is ours to license.

Public

The tribunal judgments are public records, published on GOV.UK under the Open Government Licence.

Honesty

What the record can't show.

We publish the boundaries of the data as plainly as the data itself.

Read the full limitations

Settlements are invisible

Most disputes settle before a published decision, so they never reach the record.

Never a prediction

The Index describes what tribunals decided — it never implies what will happen in your case.

Platform
