Every General Counsel knows the pain of the "end of quarter crunch." Sales teams are desperate to close deals, but the legal queue is backed up for weeks. Lawyers are working nights and weekends, burning out to review standard NDAs and MSAs.
Velocity is Revenue
Most organizations measure legal cost in terms of "outside counsel spend" or "internal headcount." This misses the biggest cost of all: Deal Velocity.
A delay of 1 week in signing a deal doesn't just push revenue—it risks the deal entirely. Champions leave, budgets get frozen, priorities shift. "Time kills all deals" is the sales mantra for a reason. If your legal review process takes 5 days for a simple NDA, you are actively hurting the company's growth rate.
The ROI of Automation
Let's do the math. Suppose a senior in-house counsel costs $200,000/year. That's roughly $100/hour. If they spend 2 hours reviewing a routine vendor agreement, that's a direct cost of $200.
But the *opportunity cost* is much higher. That 2 hours could have been spent on strategic work—structuring a partnership, managing litigation, or advising the board. Instead, it was spent fixing formatting errors and checking payment terms.
Automating the First Pass
JuristOS doesn't replace lawyers; it gives them a running start. By automating the first pass of redlines—fixing definitions, standardizing indemnity, checking payment terms—we reduce the time-to-first-draft from 3 days to 3 minutes.
When a lawyer opens a document in JuristOS, 80% of the work is already done. The definitions are linked, the risks are flagged, and the standard clauses are inserted. The lawyer just needs to review the high-level strategy and hit "Send."
Case Study: TechCorp Inc.
One of our clients, a mid-sized SaaS company, reduced their average NDA turnaround time from 4.5 days to 4 hours. This directly correlated with a 15% reduction in their sales cycle length. Legal went from being the "Department of No" to a competitive advantage.
