A public record is a filing, order or disposition held by a court or agency and available to the public under the rules of that forum. Public records are the starting evidence for outcome and duration work, with known limits on what they encode.
Dockets, opinions and regulatory dispositions are the raw material of outcome measurement. They are filed under rules that fix what is recorded and when, which gives them a consistency that private summaries lack.
They also have limits. Termination codes can be coarse, resolution amounts are often absent, and settlements may be sealed. A method built on public records says plainly what they can support, such as time to termination, and what they cannot, such as who prevailed or what a matter was worth.
A public record is not proof of any claim in the filing. It records that a filing was made and what the forum did with it.
