The operating problem

Where the process breaks.

Legal teams repeatedly locate non-standard language, compare playbooks, and extract obligations before they can advise the business. Generated interpretations and redlines need evidence and must remain proposals until counsel decides.

Governed execution

How the work runs.

Order remains explicit from trigger to decision. Every step runs inside the tools, data scope, and policy assigned to this workflow.

  1. 01Trigger

    Agreement enters review

    The document, agreement type, counterparty, and approved playbook are attached to the intake.

  2. 02Agent

    Clauses and obligations are extracted

    The agent identifies configured clauses, dates, parties, obligations, and missing language with page references.

  3. 03Agent

    Risk and suggestions are drafted

    The workflow compares extracted language with the approved playbook and prepares evidence-linked suggestions.

  4. 04Human

    Counsel makes the legal decision

    Counsel approves, edits, or rejects the risk assessment, suggestions, and obligation record as the terminal step.

Decision boundary

Human approval is the boundary.

The approval node is terminal today. A post-approval send or write happens only through a separate manual or newly triggered continuation.

Required decision

Counsel approves every redline suggestion, obligation, and non-standard clause decision; the workflow does not mutate the agreement after approval.

Approval recorded

Actor, decision, edits, and timestamp join the receipt.

Separate continuation

External write

Nothing resumes silently after the human decision.

Proof of execution

Execution receipt.

The output is not just a result. It carries the trigger, evidence, proposed actions, decision, and final workflow state.

Policy before autonomy

Guardrails for this run.

  • Every finding cites the agreement location and playbook rule used.

  • The system presents legal analysis as a proposal for counsel review.

  • The approval node is terminal and does not apply document changes.

  • Agreement access follows organization and matter-level permissions.
