Decision brief

Before you build contract intelligence in-house.

Understand the difference between an initial build and sustaining accurate, current, source-backed context.

Inside the brief

  • Hidden operating costs beyond the first demonstration.
  • Maintaining change history and the position that applied at a given date.
  • Security, access and responsibility for evidence.
  • Ten pressure-test questions for an internal, dedicated or hybrid approach.
  • Separating the intelligence foundation from customer-built workflows.

Decision brief — PostSig operating context

The first build is only the beginning

A prototype can demonstrate document extraction or an answer from a selected set of files. Sustaining accurate, current, source-backed context is a different operating responsibility. Relationships change; amendments have scope; source records arrive late; permissions and ownership must remain clear.

This brief helps teams separate the intelligence foundation from the workflows they want to build around it. It is a decision framework, not a claim that every organization should buy or that an internal approach cannot work.

Bring a real question to the decision

  1. 01Choose a bounded agreement family and operating question.
  2. 02Test entities, effective dates and partial amendments.
  3. 03Inspect evidence, permissions and unresolved records.
  4. 04Assign responsibility for keeping the context current.

Foundation and workflow are different choices

LineageAI provides PostSig’s shared foundation for entity resolution, relationship modeling, dates, scope and source evidence. MCP provides approved access for assistants, tools and customer-built workflows. Approved access is not authority to execute payments, approvals or other actions autonomously.
