Function cockpit
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.

Operations
What the function is running
The roster and where it sits on the ladder, the split between what runs alone and what a person still signs, and a slice of the floor as it stands.
Where this roster sits on the autonomy ladder
A0 assisted through A4 autonomous. Moving an agent up a rung is a governance decision, not a config change.

What runs without a person
Committed to autonomy inside a defined ceiling.

- Litigation strategy and any filing
- Novel interpretation and settlement
- Material deviation from playbook positions
- Regulator communication and waiver of rights

Live observability
What has actually been decided, and where each agent stops
A dashboard that shows only outcomes hides the decisions that produced them. This is the governance record as written, and the ceiling every agent is held to.
Governance record
Most recent first. Each entry names the actor and the call.
Document blocked on unverifiable authority
ContainedCitation Verifier could not resolve two cited authorities in a draft position memo. Document blocked before circulation and the drafting chain was flagged for review.

Escalation ceilings
Past the line the agent stops and hands the decision to the named human with the evidence attached.
- A3
Legal Chief of Staff
Ceiling: No advice, filing or settlement authority
Then: Novel fact patterns and conflicting policies escalate to the General Counsel with an options memo.
- A3
Legal Intake Agent
Ceiling: Classification and routing only
Then: Regulator, litigation or whistleblower intake routes immediately to a named lawyer.
- A3
Regulatory Horizon Agent
Ceiling: First-pass mapping only
Then: Any material change to a licensed activity escalates to the General Counsel and Compliance.
- A2
Contract Drafter
Ceiling: Approved templates only; no bespoke drafting
Then: Contracts above $250,000 or with nonstandard indemnity require lawyer approval before issue.
- A2
Playbook Reviewer
Ceiling: Proposal only; no acceptance authority
Then: Unlimited liability, IP transfer or uncapped indemnity always escalates.
Is policy and strategy coming to fruition
Does the intent above this function reach the work inside it
Counted per sub-function, where each step only counts if the step before it did. A policy that never reaches a running workflow has not landed, however well it reads.

7 of the 11 sub-functions are executing at volume without the full chain behind them. They run to a general standard rather than to a rule with a version and an approver, and the gap first appears at the position step.
What this page is, and what it is not
Every reading here is computed live from this function's own records, which makes it exact and makes it narrow. Volumes, unit costs, autonomy and trust are modeled: none has been reconciled against an enterprise resource planning system, a service management tool or a payroll register. Read the outcome measures as the shape of the argument, not as an audited result.
Sources report contract-review time reductions around 50% and contract-cycle reductions of 45-90%, but legal-specific AI tools have also shown reported error rates of 17-34%. The 2025 Deloitte report for Australia’s Department of Employment and Workplace Relations reportedly contained fabricated references and a false court quotation, resulting in a corrected report and partial refund. Mandatory professional review is therefore non-waivable.
