Pre-suit litigation discovery
The operator behind one facility usually controls many.
ReadyRule maps which California skilled-nursing facilities share a common owner and which of them carry a recent pattern of serious harm. One walk-in grievance becomes a chain-liability evaluation in seconds, not days of manual record-pulling.
The manual workup
Today this takes days, one facility at a time.
A paralegal pulls state inspection reports one facility at a time, with no severity normalization to rank what matters. Tracing the operator's corporate structure adds days of forensic-accounting work by hand. ReadyRule does the same workup in seconds.
The connection graph
Facilities that share an owner, ranked by harm.
ReadyRule collapses noisy legal-entity names into beneficial-owner clusters, then joins each facility to its citation and penalty record, normalized for severity. The result is the operator's true footprint and which facilities in it share a serious recent pattern. The connection between facilities is the part no single inspection report shows.
Coverage today is California skilled-nursing, where the ownership records run deepest. Other states and facility types follow the same graph as their data opens.
How firms use it
Three ways to put the graph to work.
Per-seat intake tool
Type a facility on a prospective-client call and get the operator's portfolio and severity-ranked harm in seconds. It replaces the one-facility-at-a-time manual pull a paralegal does today.
Monitoring and alerts
On the roadmapWatch an operator's portfolio and get alerted on a new serious citation or an ownership change. Our records refresh monthly, so a one-time lookup becomes an ongoing feed.
Per-case workup
When a case is in play, the full dossier: citation history, inspector narratives, staffing, state financials, ownership chain, and statute mapping. Structured for a partner to review, not a marketing handout.
Why not the alternatives
The pieces exist. Nobody packages the fusion.
vs ProPublica
ProPublica's nursing-home tool added an owner search in 2026. It is a journalist's lookup: it undercounts an owner's footprint, applies no severity normalization, and produces no work product.
vs raw federal data
The federal ownership files have been public since 2023. They carry no severity ranking, no clustering, and no workflow.
vs post-signing case tools
Well-funded plaintiff AI tools build the case after the client signs, from the client's own records. ReadyRule sits upstream: it helps decide whether a case is worth signing and whether it is a chain.

A redacted sample workup for a representative California skilled-nursing operator is available on request. It shows the ownership cluster, the severity-ranked harm across the footprint, and the per-facility citation record, in the format a partner reviews.
