Build an AI architecture internally, buy a point tool per practice group, or take a platform that is already built and make it yours. The first is a five-year capital project. The second leaves you with eleven vendors and no shared record.

A dedicated engineering organisation, a multi-year roadmap and nine figures of committed spend. It works — at a scale and a risk appetite most firms do not have, and it does not produce revenue for years.

A general model writes a plausible clause. Your firm writes the clause it won on last time. Fortress drafts inside Word against your own executed documents, your own fallback positions and the partner comments that shaped them — and saves the result back to the matter.
