Or is it the ''opposite''? Is the ''process'' it purports to fix an adaptation, an [[extended phenotype]] upon which the whole [[rent-seeking]] infrastructure depends to survive?

Which way does the causal arrow flow?  ''Who'' domesticated ''whom''? ''[[Contract negotiation]] is not a profit centre for anyone but its practitioners''.

Staying with this process is not a zero-cost option. This infrastructure is ''monstrously'' expensive. Every year, it costs tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. ''For each firm''. ''[[Contract negotiation]] is not a profit centre for anyone but its practitioners''.

Staying with this process is not a zero-cost option. This infrastructure is ''monstrously'' expensive. Every year, it costs tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. ''For each firm''. Spend your good money here, instead of throwing it after the bad money you’ve spent there.
Spend good money ''here'', instead of throwing it after bad money you’ve spent ''there''. Design an open source, open-architecture system with [[feedback loop]]s that push us ''towards'' a simplified, standardised centre, rather than away from it. Emphasise transparency and commonality, not proprietary technology. In essence, build a [https://github.com/ GitHub] for legal terms.

*'''A phased approach''': Recognise that development will be slow. Start with what we have: traditional text-based contracts — how folks do things ''now'', for better or worse — expect it to a fully digital, networked, authenticated smart contracts world if that is the best fit.
