CUAD is a public set of commercial contracts labelled by lawyers. Opus did better on renewal terms, Yellowjacket on non-compete and change-of-control clauses. Yellowjacket's $0.50 includes $0.26 of planning, paid once for this kind of job. Costs are what the AI models billed us, not your price.
Why the answers can be trusted
Cheap models do the reading, so each answer is checked: a quoted clause must exist in the contract, two different models read each contract, and when they disagree a stronger model reads it again and the majority stands. Anything still unsettled is listed for you rather than guessed. It is a first pass for a person to check, not legal advice.
What it costs
You pay 35% of what the cheapest top AI model would charge to do the same job alone, or our AI cost plus 25% when that is higher, shown before it runs. For 10,000 contracts a month that is about $551 with Claude Opus alone against about $105 on Yellowjacket (the Opus figure measured on 80 contracts and scaled up). The plan is kept, so the next batch of the same kind skips the planning.
