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.
160,000+ decision documents

The Yerty Index™
The Index, drawn to scale.
What it is
A structured dataset, 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 every decision, so it estimates.
Rules engines
Encode what the law says. Useful for "what are the requirements" — but they hold nothing on what tribunals actually decided.
Yerty Index™
Structures 160,000+ real outcomes. So "how often, how much, compared to what" is computed from the decisions themselves — and cited to source.
Benchmarking is a statistical question. It needs the published Index coverage, structured — not a sample, and not a rulebook.
Proof
From published judgment to structured case.
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.

FictionalEMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS — SPECIMEN (NOT A REAL CASE) Between: J. Example — Claimant and Example Industries Ltd — Respondent 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.

Built to be cited.
Every figure traces back to a real, published decision — always cited to source.
Ownership
Public judgments, 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, published on GOV.UK under the Open Government Licence.
Yerty's
The Yerty Index™ — its structure, verification and analysis — is protected by copyright and database right.
Honesty
What the Index can't show.
We publish the boundaries of the data as plainly as the data itself.
Read the full limitationsSettlements are invisible
Most disputes settle before a published decision, so they never appear in the Index.
Never a prediction
The Index describes what tribunals decided — it never implies what will happen in your case.
Platform
Put the Index to work.
