Untangling "we thought you meant..." after signature.
Why we wrote this whitepaper
Beyond Signature
Most contract tools focus on getting a PDF signed and leave negotiation, changes, and enforcement to email threads and memory. That gap is where the risk lives.
Contracts as casefiles
The whitepaper argues for treating contracts as living Casefiles: one structured record for negotiation, Terms, Specs, signatures, amendments, and performance, not a loose set of files.
Start from enforcement and accountability, not "send for signature."
For people who live with the aftermath
Written for people who carry contractual risk, not just draft language.
In-house legal and legal-ops
Rebuilding history under time pressure.
Product and platform leaders
Teams whose current flows would not survive a serious dispute.
If your tools are optimized for ceremony instead of clarity, this is for you.
If this sounds familiar, read it
Beyond Signature is not a feature tour. It proposes Casefiles, clear Terms and Specs under pressure, and records that are hard to quietly rewrite.
The whitepaper gives a vocabulary and a concrete model for doing something about it.
