Your Intake Leak

We assume 25% of inbound calls become qualified leads (industry-typical); manual intake converts 5% of leads to clients; automated intake converts 30%+; a 5-minute response multiplies recovered signups 10× (conservative operator on the 21× speed-of-response research).

How we calculate

Math you can audit, constants anchored to research

5%
Manual intake conversion
Midpoint of the 3–7% manual-intake range reported by the ABA TechReport 2024. Slow callbacks, voicemail, and hold queues convert far fewer leads than firms assume.
30%
Automated intake conversion
Floor of the "30%+" automated-intake conversion range from the same ABA study. Captures the cases Axiom converts over manual on the speed and consistency of response.
10×
Speed-of-response lift
Conservative operator on the 21× conversion lift for sub-5-minute response (Clio 2024 Legal Trends Report). Applied to the recovered delta only, not the manual baseline.
×52
Annualize weekly lead flow
Weekly lead intake × 52 weeks. No seasonal adjustment — if your lead flow is uneven, use an averaged weekly number rather than a peak week.

All four constants are visible at the top of the page's inline script so a reviewer can audit the math's source. Defaults (60 calls / 15 leads / $4,500 case value) are sized so the headline leak comfortably exceeds the $200K+/yr anchor cited by Clio and the ABA.
