Mandatum Draft

Your firm's Word templates, turned into guided questionnaires and finished documents — with every approval recorded.

Draft is being built in the open. This page lists what exists today and what does not yet, and it is generated from the same registry the pricing page reads.

How a mandate moves

Five steps, in this order, every time. A document is never sent before a person at your firm has reviewed it, and each step is recorded.

  1. Step 1

    Intake

    Your client answers a guided questionnaire.

  2. Step 2

    Logic

    Their answers decide which clauses apply.

  3. Step 3

    Review

    An attorney at your firm reviews the draft.

  4. Step 4

    Signature

    The final document is signed electronically.

  5. Step 5

    Ledger

    Who approved what, and when, is recorded.

Built today

Each item below is in the product and proven by a test in our own code base.

  • Template provenance record

    Every template version records where it came from and who reviewed it, and the record is checked against the ledger every hour.

  • Nothing publishes without a second person

    A template is published only after a named reviewer signs off, and the reviewer cannot be the publisher.

  • Recorded approvals

    Who approved what, and when, is written to an append-only, hash-chained ledger and anchored off-site every hour.

Being built, and planned

Labelled honestly. Nothing here is sold as available until it is.

  • Word template analysis In development

    Reads a .docx safely and proposes the variables and optional blocks a questionnaire would need. Measured against hand-marked truth before any claim is made.

  • Guided questionnaires from your templates In development

    Typed questions with conditional visibility, server-side validation and a saved snapshot of every submission. A firm member fills them in the workspace; the visual builder and the client-facing form do not exist yet.

  • Finished Word documents from the answers In development

    Deterministic assembly from a pinned template version, with no unresolved placeholders and the original formatting kept. Runs from the firm workspace; fictional templates only until counsel and gate A.

  • Review before release In development

    A person at your firm approves a document before it is released; a changed answer produces a new, unapproved document, and a withdrawn approval is recorded with its reason. Done from the firm workspace.
