You triaged documents: AI draft for low-risk copy, human review for contracts, escalate for threats.

#Pattern
Task: Summarize this 12-page vendor NDA for our lawyer.
Output: bullet risks + open questions — NOT "safe to sign."
Rules:
- No legal conclusions
- Flag indemnity, data use, termination
- Human counsel approves before execution
Use it
#When you'd use this
- First-pass contract summaries for attorneys
- Marketing copy that mentions compliance (with fact-check)
- Organizing discovery docs — not producing legal advice
Watch out
#Watch out
Never auto-reply to subpoenas, cease-and-desist, or regulatory letters. Escalate immediately.
