The AI is not the authority.
Decisions come from exact source spans, your compiled playbook, and recorded human authority. Never from a model’s opinion about your contract.
Agreements reach you from inboxes, drives, and redlines. People act on them from Word, Docs, and AI assistants. Nothing in between asks the one question that matters: can this go out, and who says so? CounselOS is that gate.
Where agreements arrive
One gate in the middle
“Can we send Northwind the MSA, draft 4?”
Liability cap is 3 months of fees. Your floor is 12. Approved fallback language is ready to apply.
REMEDIATION_REQUIREDThe remaining exception on § 8.2 is routed to your legal approver. The send stays locked.
APPROVAL_REQUIREDApproved and confirmed by people, not the model. One send. One receipt that stays true.
ALLOW · receipt verifiedWhere decisions land
Every connection reports its own state in the workbench: credentials, scopes, sync health, and writeback readiness. Never one green badge. Pilot and candidate surfaces are marked as such.
Every MSA, NDA, renewal, and lease deserves a careful read, but a full attorney pass on every draft isn’t in the budget. So drafts go out on a hunch, and nobody can say later who decided what. CounselOS puts one gate in the middle. It reads the exact source, checks your playbook, and says what may proceed, what needs approved language, and what needs a person.
In Word, in Docs, in the workbench, or through your assistant: “Can this go out?” CounselOS binds the question to the exact draft in front of you.
Every clause is pinned to the characters it came from and checked against your playbook. The answer is Clear, Remediate, or Escalate, with the rule and the source line attached.
Only approved fallback language gets applied. A person approves the exception. A person confirms the send. One send goes out, and the receipt proves why it was allowed, even months later.
A summary tells you what a contract says. A gate decides whether an exact action may proceed, and can prove it afterwards. That difference is the whole product.
Decisions come from exact source spans, your compiled playbook, and recorded human authority. Never from a model’s opinion about your contract.
Fallback clauses come from your bank, reviewed and immutable. Nothing is invented in the middle of a negotiation.
A person approves the exception. A person confirms the send. Each leaves its own record, and neither is implied by the other or by the assistant.
The gate issues one short-lived authorization for the exact reviewed send and watches the provider. The receipt verifies after the agreement changes; old authority can’t be reused.
Timing, cost, confidence, and status are labeled explicitly on every run. What the workbench claims, it shows.
The contract you negotiated now governs how you bill, renew, notify, insure, and deliver. CounselOS keeps it on the record after everyone signs, so what your business does matches what it signed.
