How Neon Law Navigator works

Neon Law Navigator grounds your LLM output in a deterministic, shared glossary backed by database tables. The noun ladder:

  1. Project — the matter ("Henderson Bungalow Purchase").
  2. Template — a markdown blueprint with {{placeholders}} and a workflow declaration.
  3. Notation — one Person bound to one Template inside one Project, advancing through a workflow.
  4. Workflow — the state machine the Notation walks.
  5. Signed — the lawyer's own work product.

Presenter notes

The entire secret of Neon Law Navigator is this: it is a harness that grounds your LLM output in a deterministic, shared set of glossary definitions, which are backed by database tables. The lawyer agrees, once, on what a Notation is, what a Project is, what a Workflow step is — and from that point on, every drafting interaction speaks that same vocabulary. The same nouns appear in the template you write, the questionnaire the client answers, the workflow that advances the document toward signature, and the audit log your malpractice carrier will eventually read. No room for the model to invent new categories of work.

Those Bloom rungs map one-to-one onto the noun ladder Neon Law Navigator runs on. The Project is the matter. The Template is a markdown blueprint with {{placeholders}} and a workflow declaration. The Notation is a Template come to life: one Person bound to one Template inside one Project, advancing through a workflow. The Workflow is the state machine the Notation walks (lawyer_review → notarization__pending → notarized → complete). And Signed is the lawyer's own work product — Neon Law Navigator does not sign anything; it makes it faster and more correct for you to sign. When you have walked all five rungs once, you have done the entire Neon Law Navigator loop. That is the workshop.
