Case 04
Legal / Contract Operations
A legal AI product helps in-house teams draft contracts, redline clauses, compare terms, route exceptions, and prepare approval packets.
01 Situation
Where Semantiv helps.
Semantiv controls contract-agent actions before they affect legal workflow state. Actions against commitments require clear meaning, evidence, and authority.
Drafting can be flexible. Approval, clause substitution, external communication, and exception routing need explicit gates.
