Confidence: Verified.

For Candid: Residential adjudication claims average $213K — large enough to be ruinous for a small GC, small enough that the adjudication process is genuinely worth using. The sectoral picture suggests ICI and infrastructure GCs are the most active users; residential adjudication uptake is real but lower. For Candid's primarily-residential audience this is consistent with the slower diffusion of "adjudication-as-routine" expectations.
