@prestonjbyrne @Daan_Goossens Word is a great tool for writing unstructured English text. Stories, articles, cover letters, porno scripts. But it is not built for logic manipulation, testing/simulation, logic reuse. It does not have a real capacity to store data in a structured computer-interpretable format.
@prestonjbyrne @Daan_Goossens Word files, or PDFs, once created, are inert. They are not stateful like real human agreements. We have to re-compile and execute legal programs in our brains, from scratch, ad nauseum.
@prestonjbyrne @Daan_Goossens We should be able to do these things with little effort:
- Find out how many sales contracts are expiring this month
- Replace a boilerplate clause in 1000 client contracts and get clients to re-sign
- Automatically test 100s of scenarios to ensure contract logic correctness
@prestonjbyrne @Daan_Goossens - Have interactive buttons on contracts to enable contract users to activate clauses - eg. Employee executing stock options
- Detect logical fallacies and antipatterns
- Develop a high level data model of a company from its component contracts
And this is only 0.1%
