The contract knows the decision behind it
Documents are where decisions get written down, usually in a tool that has never heard of them. Here the document cites the decision live, is read and signed on a recorded revision, and never leaves the platform that governs it.

- Draft

Written from the request, with bracketed placeholders for facts it was not given.
The decision lists this document as resting on it.
Pulled into DecisionSign as a signing document.
The document knows its decision
Cite a decision, a KPI or a note and the citation is live. The decision lists every document that rests on it, so nobody wonders which contract a change touches.
Read means read
Read and acknowledge records which revision a person saw, the exact words, and a hash of what was on their screen. A policy that changes asks again.
From draft to signature, in place
A finished document is pulled into DecisionSign as a signing document. Nobody exports a PDF and uploads it somewhere else.
What is actually in it
A word processor has to be good at being one before any of the governance matters.
Start from something
A blank page is the slowest way to write a policy. The start page offers four better ones.
- A library of 3,816 starting templates across 16 areas, from HR and Legal to Health and Safety and Data
- Company letterheads, chosen when a document starts, drawn in the editor, the PDF and the Word file
- Save any document as your own personal template, visible to no one else
- Create with AI: pick a kind, give details, approve an outline, and get a first draft with [bracketed placeholders] where it was not given a fact
- Open a Word or PDF file and keep working in the platform
An assistant that has read the page
Drafting help that stays inside the permissions of the document it is helping with.
- AI Drafting inside an open document: it asks the question it needs rather than guessing, and writes only when you say so
- Ask the AI Assistant for a document and it appears as a draft you can open and edit
- Free text is redacted before it is sent, and the wizard refuses instead of sending unredacted
- An Official document is what reaches the AI. A Draft does not
A page that behaves like a page
A document has to survive being printed and sent to a regulator, which is a layout problem before it is anything else.
- Letter, A4 and Legal paper, print layout and continuous scroll, with a ruler and zoom
- Page breaks, section breaks, and headers and footers per section, including first-page and odd/even variants
- Custom margins, keep-together, and widow and orphan control
- A table taller than a page continues on the next instead of leaving a blank one
- PDF export that paginates by the same rules as the screen, plus File, Print and Find and replace
Written together, with a trail
Two people in one document, and a record of how it got that way.
- Real time co-editing with named carets and presence, on the same conflict free model as the rest of the platform
- A Team tab with sharing, comments, chat and a hand-off to a committee
- Version history you can save, list and restore
- The title bar says whether the document was actually saved
- Folders, a trash, and the same permissions model as every other page
Word and PDF both ways
Nobody changes word processor on the strength of a feature list. So the exits and the entrances are real.
- Word import keeps headings, nested lists, tables, images, and headers and footers, and accepts tracked changes
- Export to Word, PDF and HTML from the same document
- Save a copy to your Google Drive or OneDrive as Word or PDF, using the connection you already made
- A PDF opens as a document, and tells you what it had to approximate
Wired into the record
This is the part a standalone word processor cannot do.
- Cite a decision or KPI, and each shows the documents that rest on it
- Backlinks from notes, so a page knows which documents cite it
- Send a document to DecisionSign, under the same viewing rules as exporting it
- A document you were asked to read arrives in your task list
- Put a document on a DecisionHub page and ask readers to acknowledge it
Templates are starting points, not legal advice. Areas where a wrong clause costs money or a claim say so on the page, and none has had legal review.
A document that points at the work
Citations are live, and the work points back.
Decisions
A document cites a decision, and the decision lists it back.
DecisionSign
Pull a finished document in as a signing document.
DecisionNotes
A note can cite a document, and a document a note.
DecisionHub
Publish it to the intranet and collect acknowledgements.
Proof of what was read
An acknowledgement names the revision, the words and a hash of what the reader saw. When the document changes, the acknowledgement goes stale and asks again.
