Evaluate every Roundup claim uniformly
The settlement sorts claims into nine tiers on three objective criteria. Pattern structures the exposure, medical, and identity record for every case so your team can work a full inventory against those criteria.
Key capabilities
How Pattern evaluates Roundup claims at scale
Pattern structures the exposure and medical record for every case, applies the settlement's criteria consistently across the inventory, and carries validated data through to submission.
Structure the exposure record
Occupational and residential classification is established from the record. Pattern pulls work history, employment and income records, and residential exposure evidence, then totals hours and lifetime days against the thresholds.
Identify the qualifying diagnosis
Pattern locates every NHL diagnosis and classifies subtype as Aggressive or Indolent, the categorization that feeds tier. Confirmed diagnoses are held apart from suspicion and family history.
Apply the criteria consistently
Pattern applies the same eligibility and allocation logic to every case in the inventory and flags where documentation is incomplete, so consistency holds across the whole docket.
Validated once, carried forward
Once your team validates a case, the structured data moves into the registration and submission work product your firm needs. No second review pass, no re-keying.
What Pattern captures in a Roundup case file
Roundup claims turn on a specific set of facts. Pattern pulls the same fields from the source records on every case, so your team reviews the whole inventory on the same terms.
Identity and U.S. Person status
Exposure hours and lifetime days
Occupational capacity and income evidence
Residential exposure
NHL subtype and classification
Diagnosis dates and age at diagnosis
Vital status and cause of death
Treatment course, completion and staging
Prior conditions and transplant history
The platform
The case file
Every case opens on the same view: the baseline eligibility gates, every potential claim path with its current status, and a chronology placing exposure, injury and treatment on one timeline.
Open items, scored by severity
Each gap is scored Critical, Major, or Minor and names the record or field needed to close it. A lymphoma subtype not specified. A partial exposure date. A qualifying injury missing its stage.
Every field traced to its source
Each extracted value links back to the page in the record it came from, and can be relinked where the record supports a different read.
Inventory status across the docket
See how the inventory breaks down: how much of it is tiered, and where open items cluster by category and severity. Filter to the population you need by exposure classification, injury subtype, tier, or award path.
Frequently asked questions
What factors determine how Roundup claims are evaluated?
Roundup claims are evaluated using a tier-based methodology that considers multiple factors, including qualifying injury, exposure type, age at diagnosis, treatment history, and medical risk factors.
Pattern processes claimant records and organizes these factors so firms can review each case consistently across their entire inventory. The platform extracts key data points such as lymphoma subtype, diagnosis date, exposure history, staging information, treatment records, and relevant medical conditions directly from claimant documents.
What cancers qualify for Roundup settlement claims?
The qualifying diagnosis under the settlement is non-Hodgkin lymphoma, classified as Aggressive or Indolent. That classification is one of the three criteria that set tier, alongside exposure type and age at diagnosis. Diagnoses not on the qualifying list, including Hodgkin lymphoma and multiple myeloma, are non-qualifying.
Identifying the diagnosis is rarely a single-document exercise. Subtype, classification, and diagnosis date are often spread across pathology, hematology, and treating-physician records, and Pattern pulls them into one view with each value linked to the record behind it.
Why does occupational versus residential matter so much?
It separates the top of the tier structure from the bottom, and it turns on documentation rather than on what the claimant remembers. Occupational status requires a qualifying work capacity, a minimum number of exposure hours, and income evidence tied to that work, all of it documentary.
Most Roundup files were built before any of that mattered. Pattern shows which cases carry the occupational record and which do not, and names what each one is missing.
How does Pattern help firms evaluate large Roundup case inventories?
Pattern converts unstructured claimant documents into structured claimant profiles that consolidate exposure history, diagnosis information, treatment details, and medical risk factors.
This allows firms to review cases consistently and understand how their entire inventory aligns with the settlement criteria rather than reviewing cases one at a time.
How does Pattern identify missing documentation in Roundup claims?
As each claim is processed, the platform evaluates the status of key claim sections including exposure evidence, qualifying injury documentation, treatment records, and medical risk factors.
When required information is missing or inconsistent, Pattern flags the issue and provides guidance on what documentation or clarification may be needed before submission.
How does Pattern help law firms prioritize which claims to work on first?
Pattern scores every open item in a claim as Critical, Major, or Minor and names the record needed to close it, then aggregates those items across the docket. A review manager can see that a group of cases is held up on occupational income evidence, assign the group, and send each reviewer to the field in question.
That shows which claims are supported by the record today, which are missing evidence the criteria require, and where documentation would let a file be evaluated on what is actually there.
Can Pattern help firms prepare claims for Roundup settlement submission?
Yes. Pattern organizes extracted data and supporting documentation into structured claimant profiles and generates standardized claim summaries.
These summaries can be exported individually or in bulk, allowing firms to generate claim documentation and internal work product efficiently as they prepare cases for submission.
How does Pattern ensure accuracy when extracting medical and exposure data?
AI proposes; your team disposes. Every value Pattern puts forward carries the document, page, and relied-on text behind it, and your reviewer accepts, edits, or rejects each one.
Marking a review step complete records the reviewer's work on that step. It does not assert that the package is complete or that the claim is eligible. Those are separate states, and Pattern keeps them separate.
What happens if settlement criteria or adjustments change?
Mass tort settlements often evolve as allocation rules and adjustment factors are finalized.
Pattern’s platform is configured around the settlement methodology and can update evaluation logic as new criteria are released. Because claim data is already structured, firms can update analysis across their entire inventory without manually reprocessing records.
How does Pattern support the Quick-Pay decision?
Quick-Pay is a one-way election. Accepting it closes off every other award under the program, and only some claimants are eligible for it.
Pattern identifies which claimants are eligible, shows the supported evaluation path alongside the Quick-Pay path for each one, and flags the evidence still outstanding on the full-evaluation side. The election stays with your firm and your client.
