01
Matter record first
The case is treated as a structured legal record, not a temporary calculator session.
How It Works
Start with the matter record. Keep every scenario legible. End with work another professional can review.
Mimas is built as a professional workflow, not a disposable calculator screen. The system is designed to preserve the structure around each result so support work can be reviewed, compared, and carried forward.
Operating model
The job is not just to produce a number. The job is to keep enough context around that number that the work still makes sense later.
Mimas keeps the reasoning attached to the work: the matter record, the scenario posture, the effective date, and the output you need to review or share.
02
Scenarios stay explicit
Changed facts, dates, and assumptions remain visible instead of being folded into one opaque number.
03
Outputs stay reviewable
Another professional should be able to inspect the work without reconstructing it from memory.
Working sequence
The workflow is straightforward. The value is in what remains attached to each step.
Each stage builds on the last one, so later comparison and reporting come from the same structured record instead of a second round of manual reconstruction.
01
Build the matter record
Enter the parties, children, schedules, income positions, deductions, expenses, and orders that define the matter. The record is meant to support later calculation and reporting, not just the first run.
02
Set a baseline, then branch scenarios
Baseline facts stay separate from alternate positions. A scenario can represent a changed custody allocation, different income treatment, another effective date, or a different assumption set.
03
Run calculations with context attached
The output carries the rule context, effective date, assumptions, and warnings next to the result. That makes the calculation easier to inspect and easier to explain later.
04
Compare, report, and move forward
Once the matter and scenarios are structured, Mimas can show what changed, why it changed, and how to turn that work into professional reporting and internal review.
What stays visible
Clear calculation work depends on visible moving parts, not operator memory.
The point of the system is to make the result easier to inspect by keeping the logic around it available when the matter changes or another reviewer steps in.
What changes outcomes
- Timeshare and parenting schedule changes
- Income positions, deductions, and support orders
- Effective dates and assumption posture
What stays visible
- The baseline record the scenario depends on
- The assumptions and dates tied to the run
- The reason a reported number changed
Why this is different
- Legacy tools often make the result the artifact and the reasoning an exercise in memory.
- Mimas keeps the reasoning attached so the work can be checked, compared, and defended.
