CAST
Pricing, strategy and delivery for the legal team of now and tomorrow.
Project management and strategic planning, hand in hand.
Whether supporting a funding application, evaluating a new area of work, pricing a matter before engagement or managing delivery from start to finish, CAST provides the structure needed to move forward with confidence.
Overview
One Skeleton. Four Expressions.
CAST is a family of four instruments designed to support pricing, planning, funding and project delivery across the legal economy.
Each instrument can be commissioned independently or combined with others depending on the challenge being addressed.
As a methodology, CAST is platform and software agnostic. It adapts to the needs of the engagement rather than forcing the engagement into a fixed process.
Four instruments. Four goals:
-
To price accurately.
-
To analyse effectively.
-
To work productively.
-
To deliver on time, within budget and within scope.
CAST Four Instrument Matrix
A family of four instruments — one skeleton, four expressions.
T3PS Legal Dynamics Ltd • Each instrument commissioned independently or in combination • Deployable across contentious and non-contentious work.
Different Challenges. Different Entry Points.
Not every engagement requires all four CAST instruments.
Some begin with pricing.
Others begin with funding.
Some require delivery support from the outset.
The CAST family allows organisations to engage the right instrument at the right stage of the journey.
