SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps draft unanimous written consents for board or committee actions without a meeting, using your company’s house format and the closest available precedent.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Precedent-based drafting: Searches the consents repository for the closest prior consent and adapts its resolution, recitals, and authorization language.
  • Multi-resolution support: Handles consents with multiple actions in a single instrument.
  • Safety and governance guardrails: Flags director conflicts, checks signatory requirements, and surfaces jurisdiction/state-law notice considerations for attorney review.
  • Scope and urgency warnings: Warns for major one-off actions and blocks “same-day signature” requests for major actions pending outside-counsel review.
  • Signatory tracking & review prompts: Produces a signatory checklist and explicit before-circulating review prompts to support careful legal handling.
