SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents delays and misrouting by turning contract issues that exceed authority into a clearly targeted escalation request with the right approver and a ready-to-send draft.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Escalation matrix matching: Reads the practice profile escalation matrix from the commercial-legal CLAUDE.md to determine who can approve and where escalation is required.
  • Issue characterization: Classifies the issue by dollar threshold, term deviation, automatic trigger, or business decision so the routing is defensible.
  • Actionable draft ask: Produces an approver-ready message template including the issue summary, relevant contract quote, playbook guidance, options, recommendation, and a decision-by ask.
  • Safety and workflow fit: Drafts only and does not send, aligning with attorney review and approval workflows.
