Start from your positions, not a stock template.
Open a blank document in Word and Vern writes the first draft, every clause already at the position your playbook says you want. Drafting happens in the Word add-in and nowhere else, so what you get is native Word text in your own styles rather than a PDF you retype.
Twenty-four clauses, in your styles and numbering. Change tracking arms on your first edit.
Three documents. Your positions in all of them.
The template decides the structure. Your playbook decides what the clauses actually say.
Your side, name, registered office and signatory, comes from your organisation profile.
Your playbook requires a cap at two times annual fees with mutual exclusions, so that is what gets drafted, including the carve-outs, because a cap without them is the kind of clause a court sets aside.
Your preferred tier, accepted by counterparties 78% of the time. Tiers 2 and 3 are held in reserve for the negotiation.
A document, not a wall of text.
Most AI drafting hands you prose to paste somewhere. If the numbering breaks when you paste it, you haven't saved anybody any time.
Headings, body and numbering come from the document’s own styles, so it looks like your paper rather than ours.
Clause numbers are Word’s, not typed digits, so inserting a clause later renumbers the rest the way it should.
The draft lands clean. The moment anyone edits it, change tracking turns on, so the negotiation is recorded from the first amendment.
It writes into the document you already have open. No download, no clipboard, no reformatting afterwards.
The draft you sent is version one.
The moment it's written, it becomes a document version like any other, content-addressed, reviewable, and the baseline for every round that follows. When their marked-up copy comes back, you diff against your own draft rather than trying to remember what you sent.
Which is the quiet advantage of drafting on our paper: you start from a position you chose, and you can prove exactly what moved away from it.
Invent a position you haven’t taken
If your playbook has nothing to say about a clause, Vern uses the template’s default and marks it. You get a list of the clauses it had to guess at, before you send anything.
Both are candidates for new playbook positions, Vern offers to add them.
This isn’t legal advice, and it isn’t a lawyer
A drafted contract is a first draft. For anything unusual, high-value or novel, have it reviewed, you can escalate the draft to a qualified reviewer from inside Vern before it leaves the building.
What it does replace is the twenty minutes of copying last year’s agreement, finding-and-replacing the client name, and hoping nobody left a clause in from the deal before.
Watch it write your Terms of Business.
Thirty minutes. We'll build your playbook from a few signed contracts, then draft a fresh one in front of you.
