How we handle data:  ✅ Proven data clearly labelled  · ⚠️ Inferred patterns disclosed upfront  · 🔢 Win rates are estimated from classified decisions only — 93.9% of all 98,992 WSIAT decisions lack clear outcome keywords, making published rates a model artifact of incomplete public data, not confirmed outcomes  · 📖 All code and data open source  — See full methodology →

This Is How We Change the System

Every tool we build feeds a cycle that grows stronger with every worker who uses it:

📊 230K+ Open Records 🛠 Real Advocacy Tools ✅ Workers Win 🔄 Outcomes Reported 📈 Smarter Next Case

What the Data Actually Shows

3 patterns confirmed across 230,392 records — with disclosed confidence levels and data limitations.

📊

Appeals Work — But WSIB Hides How Often

Confirmed: 98,992 WSIAT decisions analyzed (1987–2026). Of decisions with classifiable outcomes, 726 were allowed and 5,314 denied.

⚠️ Model Artifact — Read Before Citing: 92,952 decisions (93.9%) lack clear outcome keywords in the full 98,992-decision dataset. The 12.0% detected rate (726 allowed / 5,314 denied) reflects keyword matching only — not a representative sample of all outcomes. Our 2020-2026 CanLII subset analysis (11,430 decisions) shows 73.5% grant rate in confirmed classified decisions, with 91.8% of decisions unresolved. Independent research places overall WSIAT success rates at 60–70%. See methodology.

🎯

"Pre-Existing Condition" Is a Systematic Tactic — Not Bad Luck

Confirmed: 13.3% of analyzed WSIAT cases (2020-2026) involve pre-existing condition as a factor (1,519 cases out of 11,430; 95% CI: 12.7–13.9%). Back/Spine injuries are the most common injury type at 15.3% of all 98,992 decisions.

1 in 8 claims denied this way. If this happened to you, you're not alone — and it's contestable.

🏢

Your Employer's Safety Record Is Public — And Searchable

Confirmed: 130,736 Ontario employer safety records analyzed (91,814 NEER + 38,922 CAD-7). Some employers have significantly worse records than others in the same industry.

A documented pattern of incidents at your employer strengthens your claim. This data is yours.

🔍 Why Multiple Tribunals? Each tribunal handles different stages of the workers' rights system. WSIB denies at first level (ONWSIB) → Workers appeal to WSIAT → Disability benefits handled by ONSBT → Discrimination cases go to HRTO.

Research standard: Tier B is always labeled inferred, and unresolved volume is always disclosed.

📖 Understanding the Numbers (Plain English Guide)

You'll see statistical terms like "95% CI", "χ²", and "p < 0.001" throughout our research. Here's what they mean:

95% CI (Confidence Interval)

A "margin of error." When we say "20% (95% CI: 17.3-22.7%)", it means we're 95% confident the true number is between 17.3% and 22.7%. Narrower range = more precise measurement.

χ² (Chi-Square Test)

Tests if a pattern is random or caused by something. Higher number = less likely to be random. Example: χ² = 32.7 vs. critical value = 6.6 means the pattern is NOT random.

p-value

The chance this happened randomly. p < 0.001 = less than 1 in 1,000 chance (99.9% certain it's real). p < 0.01 = less than 1 in 100 chance (99% certain). Lower = more confident.

Baseline Rate

The normal/average percentage across ALL cases. We compare specific injury types to this baseline to see if they're treated differently (e.g., knee 20% vs. baseline 13.3% = bias).

🎯 Bottom Line: These numbers prove patterns are real, not coincidence. When you see "p < 0.001" or "χ² = 32.7", it means: "This is NOT random—something systematic is happening."

What This Means for You

🎯 Key Takeaway: If you've been denied benefits or accommodations and you're considering an appeal, the overall data suggests you have a strong chance of success—but it varies significantly by tribunal.

⚠️ Important: These predictions are based on AI analysis of decision text, not official tribunal outcomes. Treat them as indicative patterns, not guarantees. Individual case outcomes depend on evidence quality, legal representation, and specific circumstances.

🔧 API Limitations — Confirmed by CanLII (May 2026): CanLII confirmed directly: "CanLII doesn't provide any data further than what's provided by its API." The API provides case metadata (date, keywords, citation) but no outcome field exists. All 230,392 records were collected via authorized API calls. Outcomes are inferred from keyword patterns in decision text — our NLP model predicts unknown outcomes with 79% accuracy based on case keywords and patterns. To get 100% accurate outcomes would require manually reading each case individually.

🔄 Close the Loop: How Your Feedback Makes Data Better

This is the key: Research only works if it cycles back to action. Here’s how you accelerate the flywheel.

The 3mpwr Feedback Cycle

📊 Data → 📖 Patterns → ✅ Tools → 💪 You Win → 🔄 You Share → 📊 Better Data

Step 1: We Analyze Data

230,392 records analyzed. Patterns detected (pre-existing = 13.3%, knee bias = 20%). Tactics identified. Statistics calculated.

Step 2: We Build Tools

Guides written. Templates created. Visualizations built. All based on real patterns from real decisions.

Step 3: You Use Tools

Read the guides. Use the templates. Fight your appeal. Our data shows 73.5% grant rate in resolved WSIAT decisions — and most workers never even appeal.

Step 4: You Share Outcome

Win or lose, share your result. That fills the 91.8% outcome gap. The next worker gets better data.

Step 5: Cycle Accelerates

More outcomes = better patterns = stronger tools = more wins = richer data. The flywheel spins faster.

📊 Our Research Standards: Credibility Over Sensationalism

Why Trust Our Analysis? We’ve analyzed 11,430+ tribunal decisions using rigorous statistical methods. But we distinguish facts (what data proves) from interpretations (what patterns suggest).

What We Can PROVE:

11,430 WSIAT decisions analyzed (2020-2026, 95%+ coverage of all tribunal cases) ✅ 91.8% missing outcome metadata (10,491 cases have no win/loss categorization in CanLII) ✅ Statistical anomalies detected (July 2023: 39 decisions vs. 154 average, Z = -2.94, p = 0.003) ✅ Body part bias measured (knee injuries = 20% (95% CI: 17.3-22.7%) “pre-existing” denial rate vs. 13.3% (95% CI: 12.7-13.9%) baseline, χ² = 32.7, p < 0.001) ✅ Delay tactics quantified (reconsideration adds 2.0 years vs. 0.5 for direct appeals)
