Data Analysis Expert Witnesses

Data analysis disputes in commercial litigation typically arise when a case requires rigorous statistical evaluation of data to establish or rebut claims about employment practices, damages, market conduct, or business performance. These disputes surface in employment discrimination litigation requiring statistical analysis of hiring, pay, or termination patterns, in commercial damages disputes requiring data-driven modeling of lost profits or business performance, and in disputes over whether survey or sampling methodology used to support a claim was properly designed and executed. Because data analysis involves choices about sampling, data cleaning, and statistical modeling that can be made in different defensible ways, reasonable analysts applying accepted methods to the same data can reach different conclusions. The central issue is typically whether the data analysis and underlying methodology at issue reliably support the claim it is being used to prove.

A data analysis expert helps attorneys evaluate that question by applying accepted statistical and data analysis methodologies to the dataset at issue. That might mean conducting a statistical analysis of employment data to assess whether observed patterns are consistent with discrimination, building a data-driven model to quantify lost profits or business damages, or evaluating whether a survey or sampling methodology used to support a claim was properly designed and executed. These findings support positions on liability, damages, and survey validity, and often anticipate the methodological challenges an opposing expert is likely to raise.

Data analysis cases benefit from experts whose specific background, whether employment statistics, business and financial data analysis, or survey methodology, matches the precise analytical question at issue rather than data analysis in general terms. Round Table Group's data analysis network includes applied statisticians, economic consultants, and data scientists with expertise spanning sampling methods, categorical response modeling, and data discovery. With more than 75,000 expert searches completed for litigators, we help attorneys match a case's specific data analysis issue to an expert whose credentials will withstand scrutiny.

Kinds of Cases We Work On

Round Table Group helps our clients find a wide variety of Data Analysis expert witnesses for cases like:

01

Retail Demand Forecasting Model Dispute.

A national retailer sued its predictive analytics vendor after a demand forecasting model deployed across its supply chain systematically overpredicted seasonal demand, resulting in significant excess inventory and markdown losses. We identified experts with experience in predictive analytics, statistical forecasting methodology, and retail demand modeling. The expert's backtesting of the model against historical sales data confirmed a systemic forecasting bias, anchoring a substantial settlement.
02

Marketing Analytics M&A Due Diligence Fraud.

An acquirer sued the sellers of a digital marketing company after post-acquisition analysis revealed that customer engagement and conversion metrics represented during due diligence had been calculated using a methodology that significantly overstated performance. We identified experts with experience in marketing analytics, data science methodology review, and digital metrics auditing. The expert's independent recalculation confirmed the metrics were inflated across roughly a third of the represented campaigns, supporting a substantial recovery.
03

Consumer Confusion Survey Methodology Dispute.

Two companies disputed the validity of a consumer confusion survey submitted in a trademark litigation, with the survey's sponsor sued for using a methodology that failed to control for a well-established source of response bias. We identified experts with experience in survey research methodology, statistical sampling design, and consumer perception research. The expert's critique of the survey's control group design was central to a favorable ruling excluding the survey from evidence.
04

Credit Risk Scoring Model Dispute.

A regional bank sued its credit risk modeling vendor after the delivered scoring model systematically misclassified a significant share of higher-risk borrowers as low-risk, contributing to a wave of loan defaults. We identified experts with experience in credit risk modeling, predictive statistics, and financial services data science. The expert's model validation testing confirmed the scoring algorithm's classification error rate far exceeded industry norms, anchoring a recovery approaching $28 million.
05

Actuarial Insurance Pricing Model Dispute.

An insurer sued its actuarial consulting firm after a pricing model developed for a large commercial insurance book systematically underpriced risk, contributing to significant underwriting losses. We identified experts with experience in actuarial science, insurance pricing model validation, and statistical risk analysis. The expert's independent model review identified a significant error in the model's loss trend assumptions, driving a substantial settlement.
06

A/B Testing Results Fraud Claim.

A SaaS company sued its marketing agency after discovering that A/B test results used to justify a substantial increase in advertising spend had been selectively reported to obscure the actual, far weaker performance of the tested campaigns. We identified experts with experience in experimental design, A/B testing methodology, and marketing data analysis. The expert's reanalysis of the underlying test data confirmed the selective reporting, resulting in a favorable settlement.
07

Payment Fraud Detection Algorithm Failure.

A payment processor sued its fraud detection analytics vendor after the vendor's algorithm repeatedly failed to flag a recurring pattern of fraudulent transactions, resulting in significant losses over an extended period. We identified experts with experience in fraud detection analytics, anomaly detection modeling, and payments data science. The expert's analysis confirmed the algorithm's detection thresholds had been miscalibrated for the transaction pattern at issue, supporting a substantial recovery.
08

Statistical Sampling Financial Audit Dispute.

A company sued its external auditor after a flawed statistical sampling methodology used during a financial statement audit failed to detect a material misstatement that later caused significant investor losses. We identified experts with experience in statistical sampling methodology, audit data analysis, and financial statement testing standards. The expert's review confirmed the sampling approach fell short of accepted audit sampling standards, anchoring a favorable settlement.
09

Customer Churn Model Misrepresentation Dispute.

An investment fund sued the analytics consulting firm it had retained during due diligence after a customer churn prediction model significantly overstated a subscription company's retention rates, contributing to an overvalued investment. We identified experts with experience in customer churn modeling, subscription analytics, and predictive statistics. The expert's independent model validation confirmed the churn predictions diverged sharply from actual outcomes, driving a substantial recovery.
10

Retail Dynamic Pricing Algorithm Dispute.

A national retailer sued its pricing analytics vendor after a dynamic pricing algorithm systematically underpriced a significant share of its product catalog over several months, resulting in substantial lost revenue. We identified experts with experience in pricing algorithm design, statistical optimization modeling, and retail pricing analytics. The expert's audit of the algorithm's logic identified a flawed elasticity assumption underlying the systemic underpricing, supporting a substantial settlement.
