demand-intake

Demand letter pre-drafting intake is the structured capture of parties, facts, legal basis, and deadlines before drafting. It prevents weak facts, mismatched tone, and missing leverage by creating an intake.md file that guides the downstream draft.

To prepare context for a cease-and-desist or breach notice, gather the triggering event, contractual basis, desired outcome, and prior outreach history. This intake process saves the details into a per-matter file to align the draft to the specific dispute.

The intake process captures BATNA, leverage, downside tolerance, and settlement-communication posture when the dispute is deemed material or when using the full mode. This strategic risk layer improves draft quality and safety.

Yes, you can use this intake workflow for employment separation, preservation demands, payment demands, and cease-and-desist letters. It collects matter-specific posture, response windows, and distribution details for each dispute type.

During legal intake, privilege filters and admission or accord-and-satisfaction risks are collected to establish a settlement-communication protection posture. This guards the downstream demand draft against unintended waivers or damaging admissions.

To save intake context, the system writes a per-matter intake.md file under the demand-letters slug path. This file stores the structured context, strategic leverage, and privilege posture required for the subsequent drafting workflow.
