Legal
Agents draft, extract and verify. Lawyers hold judgment and privilege.
Phase: Phase 2 — Bounded execution
Industrialize intake, drafting, obligation monitoring and regulatory sensing so legal attention concentrates on judgment, privilege, negotiation and representation.

How a unit moves: the conductor, the five desks, the agents, and the people
Flow of work
How work actually moves through Legal
Work enters on the left. Legal Chief of Staff routes it to one of five desks. A named agent does the work. It leaves as cleared, as evidence posted, or as a hold for a person. Every packet you see below is weighted by the real distribution of 173 live units.

The five desks
What Legal Chief of Staff is actually conducting
Each desk is a layer of the operating model, not a team. The conductor decides which desk owns a unit, then which agent on that desk picks it up.

Agents that take positions, argue them, and get held to the outcome.
Receives

What this view is and is not
Every count, agent, station, gate and unit on this page is read from the live records for Legal. The moving packets in the diagram are a visual weighting of that same distribution, not a live message bus: they show where volume goes, not individual transactions in real time. The human lanes are the routing rule, not a staffing model. General Counsel remains accountable for this function whatever the conductor clears.
