Claims discussed or adjudicated × motion type
Across the merits-reaching opinions, this matrix shows which claims travel with which motion types. Rows are the claims discussed or adjudicated in each opinion (coded from court text, not from petitions); columns are the motions that produced the opinion. Darker cells = more opinions at that intersection. Heatmap counts opinion-claim pairs (an opinion deciding multiple claims contributes once per claim); the merits-reaching tile counts opinions. Pair total ≠ opinion total when an opinion adjudicates more than one claim.
On the heatmap's coding — claims on which an opinion's disposition actually operates on the merits — no single claim-by-posture cell dominates the early corpus. The largest cell is breach of contract × summary judgment at 7 opinions, followed by declaratory judgment × summary judgment at 5. A broader pleaded-claim coding (claims present in the complaint but not necessarily reached on the merits) produces a larger contract footprint and is reported separately in the Methods section. Click any cell to drill into those opinions.
