Paperline reads the draft, flags non-market terms, and writes the redline a specialist can accept. Counsel still decides. The slog is gone.

Traction

120 agreements reviewed in beta. Counsel partners report 40% fewer first-pass hours. Two law-firm pilots signed.

Market

Pre-seed and seed companies in the US executing their first 30 contracts a year, plus the boutiques that serve them.

Per-matter credits, with a lifetime credit pack on the floor.
