The Ask home for Northwind Robotics: a prompt reading Ask a question or describe what you need, a Needs your attention list of four items led by Approve Axis redline v2, and a grid of common legal jobs such as Hire an employee and Review their contract.
Monday · Ask. The product opens on a question, not a dashboard. Four items need Maya’s attention; twelve common legal jobs sit below.
An Ask thread. Maya Okafor asks whether to create Class F shares; FinePrint’s Corporate specialist answers from the record with a From-your-record panel: one class of common, fourteen million shares outstanding, and Copper Creek’s consent right over charter amendments. A side panel lists the five record fields the thread read.
“Should I create Class F shares for my company?” Answered from the record, nothing filed, nothing sent.
The same thread. The question We’re hiring Sarah Kim as a senior engineer in Colorado, offer out by Friday, and the reply: Friday is doable, before I draft anything I’m reading your record. A notice reads New matter M-0847 Hire Sarah Kim, Employment and HR, /hire-employee, Green.
“We’re hiring Sarah Kim in Colorado. Offer out by Friday?” One sentence opens matter M-0847.
Matter M-0847, step 02 Checks: option pool 387,500 of 1,800,000 available, Clear; 409A valuation $0.63, Clear; board authority, no consent on file covers this grant, In the plan; employment footprint, first Colorado employee, In the plan; offer terms against Colorado law, In the plan; candidate disclosure of an existing covenant with Cascade Dynamics, A lawyer confirms.

Step 03 The plan, in three columns: seven documents drafted from your record, from the offer letter to the handbook acknowledgment; the board approval, a written consent for 85,000 shares at $0.63; and the filings and registrations, the Colorado Statement of Foreign Entity Authority, three payroll registrations and a workers’ compensation endorsement. Twelve credits.
The plan: seven documents, one board approval, five filings and registrations. On screen before anything runs.
Step 04 Lawyer review, marked Yellow, a lawyer confirms. A card for J. Alvarez of Alvarez Employment Law LLC: Work Request W-0871, the scope Review Sarah Kim’s existing restrictive covenants, advise on onboarding limits, the status from scope approved to cleared, the answer Agree, the covenant does not reach this role, and a line reading Included in your plan.

Step 05 Documents: seven rows, the offer letter, the invention assignment agreement, the Colorado covenant notice, the grant notice, the option agreement, the background-check authorization and the handbook acknowledgment, each executed Thursday August 27 with a content hash and an Open button. Below, step 06 Approvals and signatures begins with the board’s written consent.
Seven documents drafted from the record. Approved once by Maya, executed Thursday, each with its fingerprint.
Matter M-0913 Axis Group MSA, their paper, marked Yellow. A notice reads Waiting on you, approve redline v2. Below it the inbound email from Lena Ortiz, Head of Sales, to legal@northwindrobotics.com: Can we sign this today? They want to start Monday, with the Axis Group MSA attached.
Wednesday. Sales forwards a counterparty’s MSA to the company’s legal address. Forwarding the email is the whole start.
Step 02 Checks and step 03 The plan for the Axis MSA: the counterparty screened with no prior agreement on file; three deviations from the playbook, liability, ownership and renewal; and a table of the three clauses with their draft, your position and the result, section 9 limitation of liability marked Yellow, a lawyer confirms the position, sections 6 and 12 answered from your playbook.

Step 05 Documents and step 06 Approvals for the Axis MSA: the customer draft, redline v1 sent August 26 and redline v2 drafted September 2, the three-line issue list sent to Lena, and an approvals table showing the scope and redline v1 approved by Maya Okafor and redline v2 waiting since September 2.
Their draft, redline v1, redline v2 after Axis countered, and the issue list back to sales. Every send is an approval.
Step 06 Approvals and signatures: the board’s written consent signed by Maya Okafor, Daniel Reyes and Priya Shah, the grant approved Tuesday August 25, and the employee packet signed by Maya Okafor Thursday 9:15 AM and Sarah Kim Thursday 4:52 PM.

Monday · Ask. The product opens on a question, not a dashboard. Four items need Maya’s attention; twelve common legal jobs sit below.

Plays on a loop · hover to pause · seventeen screens

Click through the demo
  • Before any drafting: six checks against the company’s own Legal Room.
  • The one thing it refuses to do: a third party’s restrictive covenant is legal judgment, so it stops and names an attorney.
  • The end: the matter closes with the record changed and the next obligation scheduled.

Scene 01

It starts with a question, not a form.

Scene 01 · Ask · Monday

“Should I create Class F shares for my company?”

The product opens on a prompt, not a dashboard. Ask answers from the company, not from a search: Class F founder stock explained, then Northwind’s record read back.

Creating Class F stock now means asking your investor to consent to super-voting founder shares. The answer names the cheaper instruments that get most of the control. Work starts only when you say so.

An Ask thread. Maya Okafor asks whether to create Class F shares; FinePrint’s Corporate specialist answers from the record with a From-your-record panel: one class of common, fourteen million shares outstanding, and Copper Creek’s consent right over charter amendments. A side panel lists the five record fields the thread read. A Green line reads answered from your record, nothing filed, nothing sent, above two buttons, Draft the package and Not now.
Green: answered from the record, nothing filed or sent.

Scene 01 · Ask · Monday morning

“We’re hiring Sarah Kim as a senior engineer in Colorado. Offer out by Friday?”

That one sentence carries a hire, a role, a new state and a deadline. FinePrint’s reply: Friday is doable. Before I draft anything I’m reading your record.

It resolves to one endpoint, /hire-employee, which owns the documents, the board approval, the state filings and the record update.

The same thread. The question We’re hiring Sarah Kim as a senior engineer in Colorado, offer out by Friday, and the reply: Friday is doable, before I draft anything I’m reading your record. A notice reads New matter M-0847 Hire Sarah Kim, Employment and HR, /hire-employee, Green.
There is no form. The matter opens itself.

Scene 02

Before it drafts a word, it reads the record.

Six checks against what Northwind is today. Two clean, three add work to the plan, one stops for a lawyer.

Scene 02 · Check

Six checks, with the numbers filled in.

The option pool resolves first: 387,500 shares available, so an 85,000-share grant fits. The 409A is current, so the strike is $0.63. No board consent on file covers this grant, so a written consent joins the plan.

Sarah would be the first Colorado employee, so a foreign qualification, three payroll registrations, a workers’ comp endorsement and Colorado’s required restrictive-covenant notice join the plan. The sixth check: an existing covenant with a former employer. Reading another company’s covenant is legal judgment, so it comes back Yellow.

Every value is read from the record.

Matter M-0847, step 02 Checks: option pool 387,500 of 1,800,000 available, Clear; 409A valuation $0.63, Clear; board authority, no consent on file covers this grant, In the plan; employment footprint, first Colorado employee, In the plan; offer terms against Colorado law, In the plan; candidate disclosure of an existing covenant with Cascade Dynamics, A lawyer confirms.
The three answers a check can give.

Scene 02 · The plan

One hire is seven documents, a board approval and a set of filings.

Asked “can we hire in Colorado?”, an answer is yes. Coverage is the eleven other things that yes means.

The plan is on screen before anything is drafted, and it is the one you approve.

Step 03 The plan, in three columns: seven documents drafted from your record, from the offer letter to the handbook acknowledgment; the board approval, a written consent for 85,000 shares at $0.63; and the filings and registrations, the Colorado Statement of Foreign Entity Authority, three payroll registrations and a workers’ compensation endorsement. Twelve credits.
The plan, in full, before a word is drafted.

The most important frame: the one it wouldn’t decide.

Five of the six checks resolved. The sixth did not.

Scene 02 · Check — Yellow

J. Alvarez. Employment. Colorado. No invoice.

What Sarah’s covenant restrains is legal judgment about a third party’s contract, so FinePrint stops and puts a card on screen: a named attorney licensed in Colorado, a written scope, and the cost: included in the plan.

Then it waits. Maya approves seventeen minutes later, and nothing moved in that window.

Step 04 Lawyer review, marked Yellow, a lawyer confirms. A card for J. Alvarez of Alvarez Employment Law LLC: Work Request W-0871, the scope Review Sarah Kim’s existing restrictive covenants, advise on onboarding limits, the status from scope approved to cleared, the answer Agree, the covenant does not reach this role, and a line reading Included in your plan.
The card as it closed: the attorney, the scope, the answer.

Green — agents run it.

Five of the six checks, and every document in the packet. Lawyers score samples of the output.

Yellow — a lawyer confirms.

The covenant. The matter is outside what the model has learned, so it stops. A licensed attorney answers before anything moves. Included in your plan.

Red — a lawyer leads.

Not this matter. A financing, a dispute, a regulated question.

One question in a whole week needed a lawyer. Lawyer review is part of the subscription. There is never a fee on top.

Scene 03

Drafted, routed, signed, filed.

Three days nobody had to chase: seven drafts Monday, three director signatures Tuesday, the packet approved Wednesday, the offer out Thursday, the state filed Friday.

Scene 03 · Drafts

Seven drafts, from the record.

Thirty-five minutes after the question, the packet exists, carrying her name, her salary and the $0.63 strike. The grant is approved Tuesday evening.

On Tuesday the covenant answer comes back: a narrow customer non-solicit that does not bar the hire. Yellow flips to Green.

Step 05 Documents: seven rows, the offer letter, the invention assignment agreement, the Colorado covenant notice, the grant notice, the option agreement, the background-check authorization and the handbook acknowledgment, each executed Thursday August 27 with a content hash and an Open button. Below, step 06 Approvals and signatures begins with the board’s written consent.
The company’s own facts, and each document with its fingerprint.

Scene 03 · Offer out

Offer out. A day early.

Maya asked on Monday whether Friday was possible. The offer went out Thursday morning, and Sarah signed the same afternoon.

The deadline was met by knowing on Monday what the week contained.

Step 06 Approvals and signatures: the board’s written consent signed by Maya Okafor, Daniel Reyes and Priya Shah, the grant approved Tuesday August 25, and the employee packet signed by Maya Okafor Thursday 9:15 AM and Sarah Kim Thursday 4:52 PM. Above it, a line reads offer out Thursday August 27, a day early.
Three directors on Tuesday, Maya and Sarah on Thursday.

Scene 03 · Filed

The part everyone forgets, done anyway.

A signed offer is where most hires stop being tracked. On Friday the Colorado Statement of Foreign Entity Authority is filed, the payroll registrations go in, and the receipt lands in the Legal Room.

It was in the plan on Monday, because the record knew Colorado was new.

Step 07 Filings: a table of the Colorado Statement of Foreign Entity Authority, filed Friday August 28 and accepted with a confirmation number; three payroll registrations, wage withholding, unemployment insurance and FAMLI, each confirmed; and a workers’ compensation endorsement from the carrier. The filing receipt sits below as a document.
Five filings with their confirmation numbers.

Scene 04

Or don’t ask at all. Just forward it.

Wednesday, a counterparty’s MSA lands on their paper. Sales forwards it to the company’s legal address. Forwarding the email is the whole start.

Scene 04 · Redline

Their paper, read against your positions.

FinePrint reads the record first: no prior agreement with Axis Group on file. Then the contract against Northwind’s playbook, and three deviations: an ownership clause that hands over platform IP, a silent twelve-month auto-renewal, and uncapped liability for data loss.

The third is judgment, so it goes Yellow: M. Chen, commercial contracts, included in the plan. The position comes back the same day.

Step 02 Checks and step 03 The plan for the Axis MSA: the counterparty screened with no prior agreement on file; three deviations from the playbook, liability, ownership and renewal; and a table of the three clauses with their draft, your position and the result, section 9 limitation of liability marked Yellow, a lawyer confirms the position, sections 6 and 12 answered from your playbook.
Two the playbook answers, one a lawyer confirms.

Scene 04 · The document

The redline itself, not a memo about it.

Their draft, redline v1, and after Axis counters, redline v2, each a document in the Legal Room with its own fingerprint. The issue list goes back to sales in the thread they asked in, and every send is an approval.

Step 05 Documents and step 06 Approvals for the Axis MSA: the customer draft, redline v1 sent August 26 and redline v2 drafted September 2, the three-line issue list sent to Lena, and an approvals table showing the scope and redline v1 approved by Maya Okafor and redline v2 waiting since September 2.
Their draft, two redlines, the issue list, three approvals.

Scene 05

Ask for the paper you need.

Thursday: a contractor starts the following Tuesday. The agreement is drafted from the record, not from a template.

Scene 05 · Draft · Thursday

“Draft the agreement?” Answered like counsel.

Daniel names the deal: a contract firmware engineer, $9,500 a month, three months, remote. The IP assignment mirrors the PIIA Northwind’s employees sign. No equity, so nothing goes to the board.

Matter M-0921 Consulting agreement, Tom Nguyen, Green. Daniel Reyes’s request, $9,500 a month, three months, remote; step 01 reading the PIIA, the stock plan reserve, the contractor playbook and signing authority; step 02 three checks, IP assignment mirrors the PIIA, contractor status consistent, no equity, all Clear.
The checks run before the paper exists.

Scene 05 · Executed

Signed by both, the same afternoon.

One document from the record: services, fees, term, ownership of the work, confidentiality, contractor status, and a ten-day exit on either side. No filing, no lawyer, and the term is tracked through December 5.

Steps 06 to 08 of the consulting agreement: two signatures, Daniel Reyes 3:41 PM and Tom Nguyen 3:48 PM; a No filings card noting the Form 1099-NEC scheduled for January; and the record updated, contractors 0 to 1, agreements executed 5 to 6, option pool unchanged.
Two signatures, no filings, record updated.

Scene 06

The week closes by changing the company.

Scene 06 · Record

Current by construction.

When a matter closes, it writes back. Six fields changed in the Legal Room because /hire-employee finished, and each row says why. Every document carries its executed date and a fingerprint.

Step 08 Record updated: a table of six fields written back to the Legal Room with from, to and why. Employees 12 to 13, jurisdictions gain Colorado, option pool available 387,500 to 302,500, board consents on file 14 to 15, documents in the Legal Room 47 to 56, next 409A refresh unchanged.

Every document is written for this company, in this state, under this plan. The People folder, the week after:

The Legal Room’s Documents tab, People folder: seven documents for Sarah Kim, the offer letter, the invention assignment agreement, the Colorado covenant notice, the grant notice, the option agreement, the background-check authorization and the handbook acknowledgment, then the consulting agreement for Tom Nguyen, each executed with its date, a content hash and an Open button.
Seven documents for Sarah Kim, one for Tom Nguyen, each with its date and fingerprint.
