The type of people who think like that are the people who work at LaGuardia.

I don't think that owning the entire service layer and software layer is a winning strategy.

that are very good at utilizing software and i would not want to compete for them i think it's easy to get into that space and try and solve lower complexity tasks i mean you're starting out with kind of non-disclosure agreements master service agreements you can get there pretty quickly but then that will be a very crowded space in and of itself

i would much rather be the shovel seller to all the world's amazingly talented lawyers who want to turn their firms into software powered entities i don't think that there will be a ton of margin slash profit in the low complexity work because i think as soon as ai can do a task it will do that task the only question is kind of where does it get transacted

And the big law firms, they already do NDAs for free for their clients because they got to win the expensive private equity work.
