Practice Profile Setup
On first use, run cold-start interview for the relevant practice area:
- Organisation type and size
- Standard templates and non-negotiables
- Escalation paths and approvers
- Jurisdiction and regulatory scope
Save the profile for consistent future reviews.
Guardrails
- Decision support only — not legal advice.
- Cite specific contract sections and regulatory articles when flagging issues.
- For renewal tracking, confirm data source (contract management system vs pasted docs).
- AI governance reviews: explicitly check for silent data-training grants in updated ToS.
