Risk Assessments & Predictive Scoring

Score every client with the validated pretrial instruments your jurisdiction relies on, including the Public Safety Assessment (PSA) and the Virginia and Washington instruments, plus eCourtDate’s own predictive risk scoring built from the client profile. The validated result informs the magistration decision; the predictive score sharpens supervision and reminders, all on one connected record.

A risk score that lives in a separate tool never reaches the decision.

Pretrial risk is assessed in a standalone tool, then re-keyed, printed, or forgotten before it reaches the magistrate, and it rarely connects to the supervision plan or the reminders that follow. Agencies also want more than a single instrument: a validated score for the release decision, and a sharper read on who will actually appear. Risk Assessments runs the validated instruments your jurisdiction requires and eCourtDate’s own predictive scoring on the client profile, then carries both into the decision, the supervision level, and the outreach, on one record.

What it does

Every capability inside Risk Assessments: built in, configurable, and connected to the rest of the platform.

  • Validated Pretrial Instruments

    Run the instruments your jurisdiction relies on, including the Public Safety Assessment (PSA) and the Virginia and Washington instruments. Configurable to any instrument you use.

  • Predictive Risk Scoring

    eCourtDate’s own model scores each client profile for the likelihood of appearance and compliance, updating as the profile changes.

  • Auto-Populated Inputs

    Pull charges, case data, and criminal history into the instrument so staff are not re-keying to score.

  • Transparent & Defensible

    See every factor and how it scored, for both the validated instruments and the predictive model. Each assessment is recorded and auditable.

  • Recommendations & Overrides

    Produce the release and conditions matrix for the decision-maker, and capture overrides with their reasons.

  • Connected to the Platform

    The validated score informs the hearing; the predictive score sets supervision intensity and tunes reminder cadence, automatically.

  • Validation & Equity Reporting

    Track outcomes, instrument validation, and disparity analysis so your assessments stay defensible over time.
