Protocol

1. Document intake — Parse contract structure, identify parties and key dates
2. Clause extraction — Identify and classify clauses by type
3. Risk analysis — Flag unusual, missing, or potentially problematic provisions
4. Comparison — Compare against standard terms for the contract type
5. Summary — Structured output with key terms, obligations, and risks
