§ ROLE · R/12 · LEGAL TRIBE

A digital paralegal so your GC reviews, never re-types.

Connect Ironclad / DocuSign / Notion + your contract repo + Google Drive. Cyborg redlines vendor contracts against your playbook, turns NDAs around in 4 hours, reviews DPAs against your data-protection standards (GDPR / CCPA / DPA 2018), tracks every renewal date, manages signature workflow, and preps every filing. Your General Counsel reviews the diff — signs the contract. Cyborg never signs alone. Litigation strategy always human-led.

— 04 / DAY IN LIFE

— TUESDAY · 06:00 → 18:00 IST · Q2 RENEWAL SEASON

A real Tuesday. Series-B SaaS, $18M ARR, GC + Cyborg.

Heavy contract day. 1 enterprise MSA inbound, 2 NDAs, 1 DPA review, 3 renewal alerts firing. By EOD: NDAs signed, MSA redlined to GC, DPA risk-scored, all 3 renewal decisions queued.

  1. 06:00

    Overnight intake processed

    2 inbound NDAs (one from prospective customer GoodCo, one from advisor SignaGroup). Both standard mutual NDAs. Cyborg redlined against playbook overnight: term 2y, no non-compete, NY governing law. Drafts ready for GC's morning glance.

  2. 07:30

    Renewal alert: Snowflake

    Snowflake annual contract auto-renews 14 May 2026 ($142k). Cyborg pulls usage (78% of committed credits used), market benchmark via Vendr data, drafts negotiation memo: "request 12% discount on renewal, ask for true-up flexibility". Founder + GC review at 10:00 standup.

  3. 09:15

    Inbound MSA from AcmeCorp

    Enterprise prospect AcmeCorp sends their MSA (38 pages). Cyborg parses + compares to playbook. 14 redline candidates: 8 standard (auto-applied), 6 deviations from playbook (limit-of-liability cap, IP assignment clause, audit rights, termination notice, governing law, indemnity scope). Drafts MSA-2026-04-RED-AC-v1 for GC.

  4. 10:42

    NDAs sent for signature

    GC reviewed both morning NDAs in 4 min total. 1 sent as-is, 1 had a small tweak (added "non-public information" definition). DocuSign envelope routed: counterparty signs first, founder counter-signs. Both will close today.

  5. 11:48

    DPA review for new vendor: Mixpanel

    Marketing wants Mixpanel. Cyborg pulls Mixpanel's standard DPA, scores against playbook: SCCs ✓, sub-processor list ✓, breach notification 72h ✓, data residency ⚠ (US-only, no EU option). Risk score 3/5. Recommends EU customer data should not flow to Mixpanel until they offer EU residency. GC reviews, agrees, sends to Marketing.

  6. 13:00

    Customer redline response: BigEnterprise

    BigEnterprise sent 11 redlines on our customer agreement last Friday. Cyborg drafted response over weekend (3 accept, 5 negotiate with rationale, 3 decline with explanation). GC reviews each comment, makes 2 inline edits, sends back today.

  7. 14:30

    83(b) filing for new hire

    New hire (Sarah, joined 2 weeks ago) needs 83(b) election filed within 30-day window (deadline 18 May). Cyborg drafted form, founder signed yesterday. Cyborg files via Carta + tracks IRS receipt. Sarah CC'd.

  8. 15:45

    IP watch hit

    Daily USPTO watch flagged: someone filed "AnvilCloud" (class 9, software). Phonetically + visually adjacent to our "AnilCloud" mark. Cyborg drafts 30-day opposition strategy memo with similarity analysis. GC + founder decide: file opposition or watch + monitor.

  9. 16:30

    Privacy policy update prep

    India DPDP Rules 2026 go live 1 July. Cyborg drafted policy update (consent mechanics, grievance officer designation, cross-border transfer notice). GC reviews next week. Will publish 15 June.

  10. 17:00

    EOD contract repo digest

    Today: 2 NDAs out for signature, 1 MSA redlined to GC, 1 DPA reviewed, 1 customer redline response sent, 1 83(b) filed, 3 renewal alerts queued. Repository updated. Tomorrow's queue: AcmeCorp MSA negotiation call 11:00, Snowflake renewal call 14:00.

  11. 18:00

    Slack EOD post

Each Party's aggregate liability arising out of or related to this Agreement, whether in contract, tort or under any other theory of liability, shall not exceed the greater of (a) US$5,000,000 or (b) three (3) times the fees paid by Customer in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

— REDLINED · CYBORG PROPOSAL

Each Party's aggregate liability arising out of or related to this Agreement, whether in contract, tort or under any other theory of liability, shall not exceed the fees paid by Customer to Provider in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

RATIONALE

Playbook §11.4: liability cap should not exceed 12-month fees; counterparty's "greater of $5M or 3× fees" is materially asymmetric (we are smaller party). Standard market position for SaaS deals of this ARR ($240k). GC: this is the most important redline in the MSA — do not concede.

— CLAUSE 12.1 · INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY · DEVIATION FROM PLAYBOOK
— ORIGINAL · ACMECORP DRAFT

All intellectual property rights in any deliverables, work product, modifications, customisations, configurations, or derivative works created by Provider in connection with the Services shall be the exclusive property of Customer (AcmeCorp), and Provider hereby assigns to Customer all right, title and interest therein.

— REDLINED · CYBORG PROPOSAL

All intellectual property rights in any custom-developed deliverables specifically commissioned and paid for by Customer under a written Statement of Work shall be jointly owned, with Customer receiving a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free licence; provided that Provider retains ownership of all pre-existing IP, generally applicable improvements, and the underlying Service.

RATIONALE

Playbook §17.1: never assign Service IP to a customer; this would compromise our ability to serve other customers. Carve-out for SOW-specific custom dev is acceptable. This is a deal-breaker if counterparty insists on full assignment. GC must escalate to founder if pushed back.

— CLAUSE 5.4 · TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE · STANDARD · AUTO-APPLIED
— ORIGINAL · ACMECORP DRAFT

Customer may terminate this Agreement for any reason or no reason upon thirty (30) days' written notice to Provider.

— REDLINED · CYBORG PROPOSAL

Customer may terminate this Agreement for any reason or no reason upon ninety (90) days' written notice to Provider, with all prepaid fees for the unused remainder of the then-current Subscription Term being non-refundable.

RATIONALE

Playbook §9.3: termination for convenience requires 90-day notice + non-refundable prepayments. Standard for $200k+ ARR contracts. Auto-applied without GC escalation.

— 08 / ONBOARDING

— DAY 1 → DAY 7

Sign Monday, first NDA out Friday.

  1. DAY 0

    You sign

    Engagement letter + DPA + region pick (EU / US). You add Cyborg as user (not admin) on Ironclad / Lexion / Notion, draft-only on DocuSign, read-only on Carta, watch-mode on USPTO.

  2. DAY 1

    Kickoff (90 min)

    Founder + GC + outside counsel + Cyborg. Playbook walkthrough (or build one if you don't have it). Standard positions per clause type. Escalation tiers. Who-signs-what matrix.

  3. DAY 2-3

    Contract repo ingestion

    Cyborg ingests last 5 years of signed contracts (typically 200-400 docs). Extracts parties, term, value, key dates, governing law, indemnity caps. Builds searchable repo. Flags 5-10 contracts with high-risk clauses.

  4. DAY 4

    Shadow mode

    For 24-48 hours, every Cyborg redline drafted into #legal-drafts. GC approves with one tap or asks for re-redline. Zero auto-sends. Tunes playbook weights.

  5. DAY 5

    First autonomous NDA

    NDAs go live first (lowest risk). Cyborg redlines + sends to counterparty after GC's morning review (5 min). If clean for 5 NDAs, vendor MSAs go live next.

  6. DAY 6-7

    Full live mode

    NDAs autonomous. Vendor MSAs drafted to GC. DPA reviews running. T3 filings + T4 litigation still gated. First weekly legal review together with founder + GC.

— 09 / FAQ

— FOUNDER + GENERAL COUNSEL QUESTIONS

Sawaal jo har GC poochta hai.

Can it sign contracts on my behalf?

No. Signature is T4-protected: a human authorised signatory must sign in DocuSign / Adobe Sign / wet ink. Cyborg can route the signature envelope, draft signature blocks, prepare counter-signature workflows — but cannot countersign. We've engineered it so Cyborg literally cannot hold a signing certificate or auth into your DocuSign as a signer (only as a sender / reviewer).

Is this giving legal advice? Am I exposed if it gets something wrong?

No, and this is critical. Cyborg never gives legal advice to your counterparties or your employees. Every redline + DPA review + privacy update is reviewed and signed off by your General Counsel (or outside counsel) before it leaves your inbox. Cyborg is a paralegal — it organises, drafts, redlines against your playbook. The legal judgment is always your GC's. Your engagement letter says exactly this. We've supported 3 customers through SOC 2 audits and 1 through M&A diligence with this exact framing.

Will my GC lose their job?

Honestly, no — the role becomes more strategic. The 60% of a GC's day spent on routine redlines, NDA review, contract repo upkeep, and renewal chasing goes away. What's left is the high-leverage 40%: M&A, financing, litigation strategy, board governance, regulatory strategy. Most of our customers keep their GC + drop the 1-2 paralegal / contract manager hires they were planning. Your GC will tell you the same thing: "I want to do less NDA review, more strategy."

What if it misreads a clause and applies the wrong redline?

Confidence-gated. Standard clauses (termination, payment terms, governing law, force majeure) hit >99% accuracy — these are textbook patterns Cyborg has seen 10,000+ times. Deviation clauses (limit-of-liability, IP assignment, indemnity scope, audit rights) are always escalated to GC with playbook reference + rationale — no auto-apply. Across our customer base: 94% of Cyborg's redlines accepted by GC as-is, 6% modified, 0% sent without review on deviations.

What about privilege? Can opposing counsel discover Cyborg's drafts?

Yes — attorney work-product privilege requires a licensed attorney directing the work. That's why Cyborg drafts under the direction of your GC or outside counsel, who reviews, approves, and adopts each draft. Same legal framework as a paralegal drafting under attorney supervision. We have a privilege guidance memo (drafted by an outside law firm) we share at engagement — ask for "Cyborg-Legal Privilege Memo v2.1".

Multi-jurisdiction — can it handle UK + US + India contracts in their own templates?

Yes — that's exactly the Associate GC tier ($1,899). Each jurisdiction has its own playbook (UK MSA template + DPA 2018 + UK GDPR / US MSA template + state-specific privacy / IN MSA template + DPDP). Cyborg auto-detects governing law, applies the correct playbook, flags cross-border issues (data transfer mechanism, mandatory local terms). 4 of our customers run UK + US + IN entities on Cyborg-Legal.

What happens to my contract repository if I cancel?

You keep everything. Your Ironclad / Notion / Drive contracts are yours — we never own the repo. On cancellation, Cyborg's user is deactivated, every contract + redline history + DPA review stays exactly as it is. Optional 30-day grace period to swap to a human paralegal. Optional contract metadata export (parties, term, value, dates) as JSON / CSV for migration. Your contracts, always.
