The team for this work
Which workers to hire, which Marketplace worker templates start them, and the order they need each other in.
Start from the work, not the tool: Contract questions answered from your documents with the clause cited, obligation and renewal sweeps, meeting actions and background research as a team of flexible workers that drafts and organises but does not give legal advice. The team is Lex · Contracts (Document and policy Q&A), Obligations (Deadline and renewal tracking), Notes · Actions (Meeting notes and actions), Ren · Research (Research assistant). Each starts from a Marketplace template, imported as your own copy, renamed and re-goaled on the setup card; nothing personal and no creator credentials come with a template.
Practice. Open Marketplace, Worker templates, and read the Instructions and Integrations of each template on this list before you import anything. Note which sources each one will ask you for.
Marketplace → Worker templates → open Document and policy Q&A. Read Instructions, then Integrations.
Hire the first wave
Import, rename, and give a goal with the deliverable, the sources and the finish line.
Import worker creates your copy as a flexible worker and opens the setup card. Rename it, replace the goal with yours, and choose When to work. Contract Q&A is the first hire because it is set up to answer from the documents you attached and to name the clause it relied on, which is the one behaviour a legal team cannot compromise on. Open that clause before you rely on an answer.
Practice. Import Document and policy Q&A, rename it Lex · Contracts, and paste your goal on the setup card. Choose Now, once, and Continue. Check its first deliverable in Doc Manager before the next hire.
Name: Lex · Contracts. Goal: Read the attached master services agreement and its three schedules. Answer questions only from these documents and cite the clause and document for every answer. If the documents do not cover a question, say exactly that. Do not offer legal advice or general legal principles. When to work: Now, once.
The team and the second wave
Run the team in one room; hire the rest once the first deliverable exists.
Click New team, name it Legal pod, add Lex · Contracts, and post what the team is for. Then hire the second wave with goals that start by reading the first wave's document. @Name directs one member, @everyone the room, and Work in the member row opens what that member did in the team. The obligations worker reads dates and notice periods from the contracts; the actions worker turns a negotiation call into owned items; research gathers background with sources for a lawyer to weigh.
Practice. Create Legal pod, add each hire as it joins, and ask every member to post what it made and the one thing it would flag.
@everyone Welcome to the legal pod. Lex's clause index is in the workspace. Obligations: read the attached contracts and list every notice period and renewal in the next 90 days with the document each comes from. Notes: take yesterday's negotiation call and post the actions with owners. Ren: gather background on the counterparty with sources; mark anything unverified.
The routine that keeps working
One recurring job on a schedule, then a status round and a grade.
Notice periods pass quietly; a weekly sweep puts the ones inside 30 days at the top of the report. Each run shows on its worker's Runs tab. Close each cycle with a status round, "@everyone one line each", and a grade against the acceptance checks each worker wrote first.
Practice. Add the time in When it runs, use Run now to get today's first report, then run one status round in Legal pod.
When it runs → Add a time. Name: Weekly obligations sweep. What should it do? Read the attached contracts and the tracker, and report every notice period and renewal falling inside the next 30 days at the top, then the next 90, each with the document and clause it comes from. Read nothing else. Repeats: Every week, Monday, 08:00.
