Contract intent extraction
Contract intent extraction is the interpretation of what an incoming agreement is for — the parties, relationship type, trigger event, intended outcome — rather than only what its text contains. Intent extraction precedes path assembly. Without it, workflow systems must rely on form fields or fixed templates to classify the request.

Legal Operations / GC. Form-field classification fails when business reality doesn't fit the form. Intent extraction reads the agreement context and produces a useful classification even for non-templated cases.
