NDA clause-by-clause review
Your legal team spends a third of its week on routine NDAs that almost always match the playbook. Design an agent that does the first-pass review — checking each incoming NDA clause by clause against your standard positions, marking what conforms, and escalating anything unusual to a lawyer. Where is the line between what it can clear and what it must never sign off alone, and how do you prove its clause-reading is reliable? Then pitch it: why should the general counsel trust this?

Say what the agent reads, what it may do on its own versus draft for a human, and what it must never touch. Then earn the trust: how you’d verify it before rollout, and the pitch (the problem, what you built, why it matters).
Agent build: design the agent in plain language (or narrate it). The coach grades the decomposition, the guardrails, the verification plan, and the pitch.
