The result

The workflow cut first-pass contract scanning time by roughly half and saved lawyers an estimated 30 to 45 minutes per document on the tested set. That is meaningful leverage in a practice where review pressure is constant and senior attention is expensive.

The limitation is also clear, which makes the case study more believable: complex multi-party agreements still need careful human reading. The value is strongest where the contract types are standard enough for the playbook to do real work.
