So you sue me and get a judgment for $100,000.
If I felt that I owed you nothing, surely this counts as a "loss" for me at trial.
If, however, you had originally sued for $50M and I felt I might owe you some money but no more than $1M so I decided to fight it, the $100k judgment would be considered an enormous "win" for me.
What data does your analysis use to distinguish between the two scenarios given that the verdicts are identical?
