Benchmarks a deal's negotiated terms against precedent agreements for M&A lawyers
Agents read 14 deal points from every precedent and every turn of the deal, each cited to its clause. The partner picks the peers by size, sector and year; each term becomes a strip of precedent dots with this deal's percentile, and the three closest clauses open side by side. A cited memo follows; the partner approves it.
