Why this checklist

Firm-wide drafting depends on shared logic, controlled change and clear ownership.

Firm-wide drafting depends on shared logic, controlled change and clear ownership.

As drafting spreads across practice groups and jurisdictions, structure decides whether clauses stay consistent, updates propagate cleanly and variation stays controlled.

How to use it

1

Review each indicator against your environment, or the platform you’re considering.

2

Count only what you can demonstrate today. No roadmap promises, no manual workarounds.

3

If all three statements hold, tick the card. Your score builds as you go.

Structural readiness, not feature depth. Your answers stay in your browser.

01 Structural Decisions

01 Structural Decisions

These indicators assess whether drafting operates as a shared system rather than a collection of isolated documents, and whether your firm has the structural rigour to scale.

Count the indicators you can confirm today. This is a diagnostic, not a certification: the pattern of gaps matters as much as the total score. Where gaps sit within the architecture, more tooling rarely resolves the issue.

Your score
0/10
Tick each indicator above that you can demonstrate today. Your result updates as you go.
8–10
Ready to scale
→The structural foundations for firm-wide drafting are largely in place: shared logic, controlled change and governance mechanisms.
→At this stage, the focus shifts from architecture to discipline: consistency of use and ongoing refinement. Even well-designed systems require deliberate oversight as scale increases.
5–7
Gaps on the critical path
→Core pieces exist, but the missing checkpoints represent real operational risk at firm-wide scale.
→These gaps often remain manageable in limited use. They become more visible as adoption expands and templates multiply.
→Identify which gaps sit on the critical path and close them before committing to further rollout.
0–4
Address the architecture first
→The current environment may support drafting in contained contexts, but expansion is likely to introduce great structural strain.
→Where shared logic is limited and change must be managed manually, maintenance burden compounds. Before scaling, it is worth addressing the underlying architecture.
