Governed Mediation
Mediation helps both sides reach their own agreement. The system runs the logistics, the mediator holds the room, and every action is on the record.
How it helps
The mediator holds the room while the system holds the paperwork
The system runs the logistics so the mediator can run the room.
It drafts settlement terms only when the parties ask, and it never signs them.
Every function the parties turn on is named and logged, per case.
It helps both sides talk and never decides for them
Confidentiality

We set out where your cases are hosted, and the terms that govern it, before any agreement.
You hold the ledger, and you export or delete it on your terms.

Questions we get asked
Mediation is not administration, so what is there to automate?
The logistics, not the mediation. Settle& handles scheduling, documents, deadlines, the paperwork around caucuses and the settlement agreement itself, so the mediator spends the session mediating. Nothing the mediator does in the room is automated and nothing is decided for the parties.
Mediation is privileged and confidential. What exactly is recorded?
What the system did, not what was said. Settle& records the administrative steps, the documents served and the decisions the mediator or the parties made about the process. What is captured in a caucus, and what may be released, is set by the institution's own protocol when the rulebook is loaded.
What happens if the mediation does not settle?
The case carries its record into the formal stage. Because arbitration and mediation run on the same system, an unsettled case moves on with one record and nothing is rebuilt, which is the difference between a mediation tool and a system that covers the whole life of a dispute.
Does the system suggest settlement terms to the parties?
Only if the mediator chooses to use a drafting function and approves what it produces. Settle& never puts a proposal in front of a party on its own, and the mediator decides what is shared and with whom.
Do both sides see the same thing?
No. Each party, the mediator and the institution get their own view, and opposing sides are walled from each other. That separation is part of the system rather than a setting someone has to remember.
