Legal operations
Archeus turns long agreements into a first-pass clause map, scores every deviation against your playbook, and drafts the fallbacks — so counsel's hours go to judgment, not assembly.

Built for teams that review before they ship
In action
A real working view — reviewable before anything ships.
The MSA becomes a clause map in minutes — boundaries, sections, and the business request captured in one pass.
How it works
A practical, reviewable workflow—not a black box.
The document, the business request, prior guidance, and review scope arrive in one workspace — the review starts at the right altitude.
Prompt
“Parse the vendor MSA v3.2 and capture the business request, review scope, and prior guidance.”

Capabilities
Long agreements become a clause inventory with section anchors — counsel validates a map instead of building one.
Archeus organizes, flags, and proposes — legal conclusions come only from qualified counsel, and the boundary is enforced in the workflow.
Outputs framed as preparation material
Every fallback gated on counsel approval
Outbound redlines require sign-off
Deviations arrive with pre-drafted fallbacks and escalation triggers — the negotiation starts from positions, not from scratch.
The playbook encodes your positions once — every future MSA is scored against them automatically.

Where it helps
Start with the workflow you already repeat — the pipeline maps to it, not the other way around.
A structured handoff before review begins — clause map, deviation matrix, and issue list ready for counsel.
Approved positions and escalation triggers encoded once, applied to every incoming agreement.
Flags ranked by exposure, not page order — breach carve-outs and consent terms surface first.
Counsel's approved guidance translated into operational language the business can act on.
Why teams switch
Review starts by locating the important clauses in forty-two pages.
Counsel validates a clause map with deviations pre-scored — in the first ten minutes.
Deviations get discovered after signature, in the post-mortem.
Every term is scored against the playbook before the negotiation begins.
Fallback positions get improvised over email at 11 PM.
Fallbacks arrive pre-drafted with escalation triggers — counsel approves, then it's spoken.
Superintelligence output gets mistaken for legal advice.
The workflow itself enforces the boundary: preparation material, counsel's conclusion, logged sign-off.
Enterprise Standards
Customer prompts, uploaded business records, connected databases, and generated outputs are strictly ephemeral and never used to train base or commercial foundation models.
Automations, code evaluation, and browser executions occur in isolated, scoped environments with strict egress policies and encrypted secrets management.
Consequential actions—such as customer communications, database writes, or live deployments—require deliberate human confirmation with comprehensive audit logs.
Questions
Start with one real workflow, keep people in control, and build from what works.
