Attorney Attrition Watch billing-disengagement early warning

Flags attorneys whose monthly billable hours drop below their own baseline while their caseload holds — meaning they had the work but stopped billing. The pattern that preceded Daniel Howard's resignation. Firm-adjusted so a slow month for everyone doesn't false-flag everyone. Add a note (PTO, medical, trial, etc.) to explain a dip — explained dips are dimmed and won't trigger alerts.

RED 2-month sustained decline (the Howard shape) — high confidence, warrants a 1:1. ORANGE single-month deep dip (≥30%) — watch; could be PTO. YELLOW single-month mild dip (≥20%). CASELOAD hours down but fewer cases — lower concern. NOTE has an active explanation.
