Framework
The LLM-as-Wireframe Method
David's practical framework for using AI responsibly in legal contexts without replacing professional counsel entirely.
How it works
- 1Draft with AI first: Use an LLM to draft a first version of any agreement: partnership, NDA, employment contract, prenup.
- 2Treat it as a wireframe: The AI output is a starting point, not a final document. It gives you structure without giving you false confidence.
- 3Bring it to a lawyer: The expensive part of legal work is blank-canvas drafting. Show up with 80% done and you cut billable hours significantly. AI doesn't replace the lawyer. It dramatically reduces what the lawyer has to do, which reduces what you pay.

Deterministic Logic Plus Conversational AIMost online will builders are wizard-based forms. You fill in fields, answer dropdowns, and a document gets generated. The problem is that approach assumes you already know what you want. That's almost never true. Succession Wills solves this with a split architecture.Perfect as the Enemy of Good, Applied to Estate PlanningThe biggest threat to completing a will is not complexity. It's emotionally loaded questions, like who gets Dad's guitar, that cause people to stall and never finish. David's framework for getting it done.

More frameworks for AI & Automation
The Unidentified Data PrincipleMost apps say encrypted, in transit, at rest, de-identified. Stephen goes one step further with an architecture where the business model physically cannot pivot into data harvesting.The Round Table of Second OpinionsInstead of marrying one model, poll all of them. Each model has different training data, different personality, different blind spots.The Three Categories of HallucinationDevansh breaks legal AI hallucinations into three categories. The third is the most dangerous, and the hardest to catch with traditional vector search.AI Disqualification StackUse AI to kill bad deals before they reach human underwriting. Build a hardcoded list of non-negotiables and run every inbound deal through it as a first pass. The goal is not to automate the investment decision - it is to automate the no. Five deals worth real attention each week cannot receive that attention if the team is wading through fifty non-starters. The edge is focus, not volume.Personalization as the North StarThe current AI DJ surfaces the same highlights for all users. The roadmap moves toward a fully personalized agent.The Three-Layer StackQuadron's architecture maps onto a deeper principle: institutions need auditability, individuals need ownership, markets need calibration.
