1. Is the goal to remove the need for lawyers by letting software do the work, or to equip lawyers (and law firms) to perform their own work more efficiently (and potentially move away from the per-hour pricing model)?

4. The back-and-forth on contracts completely sucks. Any plans to improve this?
