Clause
Contract review was the slowest step in every deal.
The route.
How a request moves through the system, stop by stop. Illustrative, like the rest of this concept.

01
Overview
Clause is a studio concept for teams that review the same kinds of contracts every week. It reads the document, flags what deviates from the team's own playbook, and leaves the decisions to the people accountable for them.
02
The challenge
A model that is right most of the time is still wrong in front of a lawyer. The product had to make every suggestion checkable in seconds, and make it obvious when the model wasn't sure.

Scope
- Playbook modelling
- Retrieval and clause extraction
- Review interface
- Evaluation suite
- Audit trail

Technical decisions
- Every flag cites its source.Flags link to the exact clause and the playbook rule they break. No citation, no flag.
- Evaluation before features.A labelled set of real-shaped contracts runs on every change, so quality is measured, not assumed.
- AI drafts. Engineers decide.The model drafts redlines; a person accepts, edits or rejects each one, and the decision is logged.
const flag = await review.run({ clause, playbook });
if (!flag.citation) return null; // no source, no flag
if (flag.confidence < 0.7) flag.route = "needs-human";
audit.log({ clause: clause.id, flag, model: MODEL_VERSION });05
Deliverables
