Finding a class-action settlement is only useful if a potential claimant understands what to do next.
Toronto-built SettleWorth is addressing that gap with a Canada-first platform that helps people discover legitimate settlement opportunities, understand the available action and reach the official claims process.
The live platform organizes Canadian settlements into plain-language listings grounded in information from courts, administrators and class counsel. Each listing highlights the current status, deadline and official claim route.
Created by Farish Punjani, SettleWorth is an independent Canadian legaltech product. It does not act as a law firm or claims administrator, and a possible match is not an eligibility decision.
SettleWorth is also developing a “Claim Completion” layer, with the level of assistance varying by settlement.
For a straightforward claim, clear guidance and a direct official handoff may be sufficient. More complicated matters could benefit from help understanding the correct route or sequence, or tools for preparing structured information locally.
The goal is to add interaction only when it reduces work, repetition, confusion or the risk of error.
SettleWorth does not submit claims, calculate payouts, determine eligibility or receive supporting documents. Its aim is to reduce filing friction without creating another database of sensitive claimant material.
An earlier private experiment tested whether browser-local answers could be mapped into an official claim form without sending the completed information to SettleWorth.
The test demonstrated the potential value of deeper form tooling, but also its privacy and maintenance burden. SettleWorth now views such builders as an exceptional, claim-specific capability requiring stronger privacy, versioning and verification checks.
Change intelligence is another important part of the product.
Settlement information can quickly become outdated when deadlines change, claims open or close, or cases move into distribution. SettleWorth monitors primary sources for these developments and treats provenance and freshness as product features.
When authoritative information is stale or conflicting, the platform is designed to “fail closed” by pausing the official handoff while the matter is reviewed.
SettleWorth ultimately wants to guide people through a broader journey: find a legitimate opportunity, understand whether action is required, prepare safely, reach the official process and learn when something meaningful changes.
The platform is not attempting to automate legal judgment. Instead, it is addressing the administrative distance between public legal information and someone’s ability to act on it—a consequential problem in Canada’s fragmented settlement landscape.
