Draft desk: capabilities and limits

A walkthrough (fictional)

Fictional matter — demonstration: Invented names and facts; nothing here is a real client, party, court or filing.

Every name, party, court and matter below is invented for illustration.

1. The invented reviewing attorney at Harrow & Vale LLP chooses a Mutual NDA under Florida law, names Meridian Data Systems, LLC and Harbor Analytics, Inc., and answers the questionnaire; an answer can be marked unknown.
2. Where the clause library covers the instrument the operative text is assembled deterministically; where it does not, the grounded lane drafts from five pinned exemplars and labels the draft as statute-cited.
3. Contradictory facts (the same person as landlord and guarantor) are flagged before assembly; a missing required fact stops the draft and names the key.
4. The draft opens in the workspace for revision; the execution-formalities appendix travels with the export.

Mechanisms

• —The clause library and state packs for the covered instruments; the grounded lane for the rest.
• —The required-facts and conflict gates before assembly.
• —The dual-engine program on request: two independent passes on the same pinned exemplars, reconciled with the divergences shown.
• —The rigor label computed from the code path that ran.

Limits

• —No governing state, no draft.
• —A document with no lawful exemplar lane and no library coverage is refused.
• —The draft is not for execution until the supervising attorney finalizes it.

What this desk refuses

From the refusals catalogue (22 rows apply); the full catalogue is at /refusals.

• Drafting without a valid governing state.

  Choose the governing state before drafting.

• A "deterministic" label on a document the clause library does not cover.

  The draft proceeds on the grounded lane with the honest label.

• Claiming a verified, state-exact document before the supervising attorney signs off.

  The attorney verifies statutory references against official sources and finalizes.

• Entering the attorney engines without the licensed-attorney attestation, the conflict answers and every acknowledgment.

  Complete the attestation and the conflict screen; a flagged conflict is resolved by the attorney, not the software.

• Running a paid desk without an active session, a trial allotment or a covering purchase.

  Sign in, use the trial allotment, or purchase the matter.

• An estate instrument exported without its state execution-formalities appendix.

  Name the governing state; the appendix is generated from the cited rule.

• Assembling an instrument while a mandatory intake fact is missing.

  Supply every required fact named in the report.

• An instrument naming the same person in roles that must differ.

  Correct the roles; the gate compares case- and space-insensitively.

• Representation of any kind: filing, service, negotiation with a party, or appearance, for anyone.

  A licensed attorney represents; the platform prepares.

• Drafting, reviewing or redlining a document for which no lawful exemplar lane is live.

  Choose a document type with a lane, or wait on the named owner item (a keyed connector or a reviewed pack).

• Output that lifts verbatim runs, or too much scattered overlap, from the exemplar filings.

  The run is refused and reported; the engine drafts afresh on the same pinned exemplars.

• Output that carries the exemplar filings' party names into the matter.

  The run is refused and reported; the attorney never sees a foreign party in the draft.

• A dual-engine consensus that swallows a material disagreement between the engines, or names it without binding a disposition to its issue id (a missing, duplicated or unknown id, a bare marker, or a conflict marked decided).

  The divergence is carried as a decision card bound to its issue id; the attorney adjudicates it.

• Delivering single-engine output when a dual run was purchased and one engine failed.

  Retry, or run the standard lane knowingly.

• Predicting an outcome, a ruling or a bench's decision.

  The passage is flagged for the attorney; the War Room prepares questions, it never forecasts.

• Grounding a matter on a same-named county of another state.

  The matter's own county tops the ladder; the run searches when the lane is thin.

• Reaching a matter, review, draft, comparison or governed version that belongs to another tenant, or through a removed membership.

  Work inside an active membership of the matter's tenant.

• Reaching a matter the user is screened from, on any surface, including background execution.

  The firm lifts the wall in the record; authorized colleagues keep their work.

• Sending a byte to a vendor outside the permitted list, over a non-https scheme, to a private network, or with a data class the vendor is not cleared for.

  The owner reviews the constant; the surface reports the refusal instead of substituting a vendor.

• A request path carrying a literal or encoded backslash, an invalid escape, double encoding or a control character.

  Request the route as published.

• A dual-engine run whose second provider is missing, disallowed, or times out mid-run.

  The typed failure carries the partial stage receipt (which branch ran, which did not, why); the fee was charged once at most; the attorney may separately elect a single-engine tier.

• A request to resume a long draft whose completeness state reads complete (no pending sections).

  Edit the document directly, or run a new draft; the completeness state on the record says what is pending.

Inputs

• —The document type, governing state and questionnaire answers (an answer may be marked unknown; a required fact stays required)
• —Optional attachments the run accounts for by name
• —The purchased matter, carried in the link and the browser context from the last desk

Outputs

• —The draft with its rigor label and the exemplar provenance
• —The candor report (untracked citations, prediction language)
• —Word and PDF exports with the execution appendix
