Every contract
reviewed.
Every cent tracked.

M&A due diligence involves hundreds of contracts. The AI that reads them has a measurable cost per document. P402 makes that cost visible, governed, and settled onchain — per contract, per clause, per model tier.

01The Problem

Legal AI has a cost attribution problem.

$150–500
Manual contract abstraction cost per document
Traditional paralegal or associate time to read, extract key terms, and flag deviations from a playbook. Complex MSAs and employment agreements can exceed $500 each.
200–500
Contracts in a typical M&A data room
NDAs, MSAs, employment agreements, real estate leases, vendor SaaS contracts, amendments. A mid-market deal can mean $30K–$250K in diligence review costs.
$0
Cost visibility per document in existing AI tools
Current legal AI platforms (Harvey, Spellbook, Ironclad) charge per seat or per month. There is no per-document, per-model-tier, per-clause cost breakdown. The billing is as opaque as the AI.
0
Per-matter settlement rails that work at sub-cent scale
If you want to charge a client for AI-assisted diligence at actual cost, you need a settlement rail that handles $0.003 per document. Stripe cannot. Ethereum cannot. Tempo can.
02The Workflow

Six steps. One matter. Full audit trail.

01
Project intake
Upload a "data room" of 5–10 sample contracts: NDAs, MSAs, employment agreements, a real estate side letter, a vendor SaaS contract, amendments. Each gets a SHA-256 hash on ingestion.
02
Per-document classification and routing
Gemini Flash classifies each document: type, jurisdiction, redline complexity score (1–10). The P402 router uses the complexity score to route — simple NDAs get Flash, MSAs get Pro, ambiguous documents escalate. The routing decision is the visible thing in this demo.
03
Multi-document agentic review
Gemini Flash handles simple contracts (NDA clause extraction, standard deviation flags). Gemini Pro handles complex ones (MSA negotiation history, employment agreement non-competes, cross-document conflict detection). Each review event writes a ledger entry with the model tier used and the cost.
04
Cost-per-matter readout
Running USDC.e cost broken down by document, by model tier. The Stripe comparison is reframed for legal: "what would this matter cost if every clause review were a separate Stripe charge?" ($0.30 × 400 clause extractions = $120 in Stripe fees alone.)
05
Specialist escalation under MPP escrow
When a contract exceeds a complexity threshold, P402 routes to a "specialist agent" with a budget envelope locked in MPP escrow. The specialist produces a conflict analysis report. A cryptographic hash of the deliverable is recorded on Tempo.
06
Matter close and approval gate
The supervising lawyer reviews the AI assessment and approves or rejects the diligence summary. P402 records the decision. The final ledger is the ABA-audit artifact — every AI action, every cost, every model tier, timestamped and onchain.
03What This Demo Emphasizes

Routing is the headline. Cost transparency is the buyer value.

Routing decisions are the visible thing

This is the demo where you see the router actually picking different models for different documents and saving money. Each document card shows: type, complexity score, model assigned, cost, and why.

Budget caps per matter

A senior partner sets a $50 cap for a tier-3 contract review. The cap is enforced. If projected cost exceeds the cap, the analysis is blocked before the model is invoked. The decision is logged.

Cost transparency is the buyer-visible value

Law firms billing clients per matter need defensible per-matter unit economics. This demo produces exactly that: a cost receipt for AI-assisted diligence that can be passed through to the client.

ABA ethics audit trail

ABA Formal Opinion 512 (2024) requires lawyers using AI to understand and supervise its work. The P402 ledger provides the documentation: what model, what input, what output, at what cost, with human review recorded.

04Unit Economics

The 1,000× delta is the headline.

$200–800
Manual diligence per matter
8 contracts × $25–100 per contract = associate/paralegal time for a mid-market deal data room.
<$0.10
AI-metered diligence per matter
Gemini Flash for simple contracts + Pro for complex ones + Tempo settlement. Every cent tracked per document.
Per-model billing
Flash vs Pro cost breakdown
Simple NDA: ~$0.003 (Flash). Complex MSA: ~$0.018 (Pro). The model tier is visible in the ledger.

Coming soon

The legal demo is in development.

The infrastructure is built. The routing logic, ledger, and Tempo settlement are identical to the live healthcare demo. The legal-specific components — document classifier, clause extractor, conflict detector — are next.
