Mediation Practice Sandbox

A structured worksheet for preparing to negotiate or mediate a real dispute — a client-vendor disagreement, a partnership dispute, a landlord issue, anything with room to talk it out. This tool doesn’t compute a settlement figure or tell you what to accept. It walks you through the same frameworks a mediator would use — unbundling the dispute into separate issues, distinguishing what you’re asking for from why you actually want it, and knowing your own walk-away point — so you can apply them to your own facts. Nothing you enter is saved anywhere; it lives only in this browser tab.

This tool teaches general negotiation preparation frameworks. It does not calculate a settlement amount, predict an outcome, or provide legal advice about any specific dispute. For guidance on an actual situation, consult a licensed attorney or a qualified mediator.
