# Sentent

*/Startups/Sentent*

## Startup Overview

This system ingests unstructured contract payloads to extract legally binding, enforceable obligations. It parses dense legal text to isolate precise deliverables, deadlines, and compliance requirements without requiring predefined templates or manual data entry.

Corporate legal and procurement teams use the software to map their exact liabilities and entitlements across complex agreements. Instead of relying on manual legal review to track what is owed and when, users receive a structured, queryable database of their active contractual commitments.

Unlike Kira Systems or DocuSign Analyzer, the architecture is attested for zero-hallucination accuracy, guaranteeing exact text-to-obligation fidelity without requiring continuous human validation. The business model aligns directly with this output by charging strictly per successful extraction rather than demanding upfront subscription licenses.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- 14-day retrospective analysis of 50 standard vendor agreements: Aiming to prove zero hallucinated dates, terms, or parties in the generated JSON payloads compared to the client's manual records.
- 30-day live ingestion test on legacy scanned PDFs: Seeking to validate the automated extraction of obligations from 100-page documents directly into the client database via webhook, triggering human review only on explicitly non-standard clauses.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: Reduction in manual obligation logging time from 45 minutes to under 2 minutes per unstructured contract
- Aim: Zero hallucinated terms, dates, or parties across extracted standard commercial liability and compliance clauses
- Target: 100-page scanned PDFs successfully processed into strict JSON schema arrays without human intervention for high-confidence clauses
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-sized SaaS legal team: Transitioning from manual spreadsheet tracking of vendor liabilities to automated JSON logging, aiming to reduce document processing time from 45 minutes to under 2 minutes per agreement.
- Enterprise corporate legal operations division: Processing 100-page scanned legacy commercial contracts into a structured obligation database, targeting zero extraction hallucinations verified by hardcoded bounding-box citations.
- Regional financial institution compliance unit: Migrating complex regulatory clauses into strict JSON schema arrays, validating the human-in-the-loop fallback mechanism for non-standard, low-confidence text.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- General Counsel: Expressing absolute trust in the extracted liabilities because the hardcoded bounding-box citations guarantee immediate traceability to the exact source text.
- Director of Legal Operations: Highlighting the immediate technical value of receiving an API-ready structured database payload, specifically contrasting it with legacy tools that merely highlight text for human reading.
- Contract Manager: Praising the system's reliability in automatically pausing and flagging highly bespoke, low-confidence clauses for human-in-the-loop review rather than guessing the obligation.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: A hallucinated or missed obligation in a high-value enterprise contract triggers a catastrophic liability claim that destroys the zero-hallucination brand promise. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Customers continuously dispute the legal definition of a successful extraction to avoid triggering the pay-per-extraction billing model. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Incumbents like DocuSign or Kira Systems replicate the zero-hallucination verification layer and bundle it for free into their deeply entrenched enterprise workflows. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: moderate · Description: Ingesting heavily scanned low-fidelity PDF contracts breaks the parsing pipeline forcing the company to absorb high manual review costs to maintain the accuracy guarantee. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
