DocPost · Contract velocity for agile teams

Close contracts dramatically faster.

You're not a trillion‑dollar behemoth. Why copy their processes? Behemoths field legions. You field operators. In the AI age, six experts with the right tools close more than six hundred associates with the wrong ones. DocPost is the contracts automation stack built for agile teams that close fast.

§ I — The Behemoth Tax

Their playbook is a six‑month tax you can't afford.

Trillion‑dollar legal departments are organized like standing armies. That's rational at their scale, fatal at yours. The numbers below are what their playbook costs in practice — and why every line of it is poison for agile teams who ship fast.

§ II — Three Tools

Read. Reuse. Close.

One contract record across the deal lifecycle. Inbound paper is read. Outbound paper assembles from a counsel‑approved library that gets smarter every quarter. Execution closes at startup speed, with litigation‑grade evidence on every envelope.
01 / Read · Inbound

Second Chair.

Their paper, understood before lunch. A senior associate in software — patient, in the margin, with a pencil in hand. Risk surfaces where the prose lives. Redlines draft themselves in the voice of your firm. Counsel reviews three things that matter, not eighty things that don't.

02 / Reuse · Outbound

PlayMaker.

Sales closes without calling legal. The rep negotiates within a counsel‑curated form. Outbound deals assemble themselves even with multiple or complicated offerings — legal is never in the room. Out‑of‑bounds requests get a one‑time review, and the decision returns to the form so the next deal hitting the same conditions is auto‑approved.

$500M+ closed using this method, in negotiations against Google, Amazon, Charles Schwab, and plenty more.

E‑signatures.

No PDF rodeo. Just signed. Field placement is usually zero — we generated the contract, so we know where the signatures go. Conversion‑optimised flow for signers. Litigation‑grade evidence: CA‑backed certificate, eIDAS AES and QES options, QR‑verifiable completion.

§ III — How PlayMaker handles a deal

Sales runs PlayMaker. Two of three cases never need legal.

Most contract software assumes legal review is the first step. We assume it's the last resort. The form your counsel curated already covers ~90% of deals — either as the default, or as an approved alternate the counterparty's counter happens to match. The remaining few escalate once, then permanently rejoin the form.
Case 1 / Default terms

Counterparty signs the form.

The counterparty accepts the form as it stands. The contract assembles. The deal closes. Legal is never in the room. The tried and true process of templating lawyers have used since the invention of the printing press.

Closes · no legal
Case 2 / Approved counter

Counter matches an approved alternate.

The counterparty counters. Their request maps to an alternate term your counsel pre‑approved, with the conditions to use it satisfied. PlayMaker swaps the alternate in. Still no legal. The same form covered both the default deal and the negotiation around it.

Closes · no legal
Case 3 / Escalation

Counter is novel. Counsel rules via Second Chair.

The counterparty counters with something the form doesn't cover. Counsel reviews the incoming language using Second Chair, and approves, rejects, or counters — once. The decision and its conditions go back into PlayMaker. Every future deal that hits this exact case becomes Case 1 or Case 2.

Legal · once

Counter‑signature in any case routes through DocPost e‑signatures with fields pre‑mapped — no PDF rodeo, no field placement, no third tool to integrate.
