-Also known, to those for whom the glass is half-empty, as a [[non-disclosure agreement]]. An agreement whereby you promise not to tell. If Robert Plant were writing one, he would write it like so:
+{{a|confi|
+{{image|Secret|jpg|Do you promise not to tell, and if you do, do you acknowledge damages may not be an adequate remedy?}}
+}}{{d|confidentiality agreement|/ˌkɒnfɪdɛnʃɪˈæləti/ /əˈgriːmənt/|n|}}

+(Also known, to those for whom the glass is half-empty, as a “[[non-disclosure agreement]]”, or an “[[NDA]]”. Or a “[[confi]]”.) <br>
-===Special AKA==
+. (''Forensic evolution'') The ostentatious courtship display of a fecund [[legal eagle]]. Identified as a kind of Darwinian [[textual selection]] because the length and gravity of the terms of a [[non-disclosure agreement]] varies in exact inverse proportion to its subject matter. The more fatuous the “confidential information”, the more stentorian in term and baroque in expression the NDA tends to be. Thus, a [[legal department]] whose plumage boasts an enormous multicolored [[NDA]] is broadcasting to the rest of the market, “look how fertile I am! I can insist on this transparently idiotic legal contract and people still sign it! It is absurd along every conceivable dimension, yet, here I still am, my business in rude health!” <br>
-The same as a:

-*[[NDA]]
-*[[Confi]]
-*[[Non disclosure agreement]]
-==See also==
+. (''[[Reg tech]]'') Any class of legal contract sufficiently common, homogenous, predictable and dull that a machine-learning proof of concept will appear to work, in some superficial way, for a period of time at least as long as the [[general counsel]]’s attention span. (So named because the [[confidentiality agreement]] is the only such contract in wide use).  Hence: “Hi I would like to pitch you my new [[software as a service]] offering, which can intelligently automate your entire legal operations platform. It runs on [[chatbot]]s and [[Natural language processing|natural language processing]] [[and/or]] a room full of captive economic migrants in Khazakstan. It rocks. I can give you a half-hour demo. So I can set up the POC, can you send me a few sample...” <br>
+“Let me guess: a few sample [[confidentiality agreement]]s?” <br>
+“Oh right. I see. Hey look sorry, [[I have to hop]].” <br>
+===The NDA space race===
+The trajectory of “NDA as [[legaltech]] exemplar” bears a striking similarity with the space race.
+Firstly, competitors in this stampede towards the [[singularity]] all talk a great game about their magical technology ([[machine learning]], [[neural network]]s, [[general AI]] etc) when in fact it is runs from a call-centre full of Bulgarian school-leavers equipped with slide rules, compasses, protractors and pencils (if lucky) and vacuum cleaner nozzles, duck tape, tin foil and string (if not). In fairness, there ''is'' general intelligence involved; it’s just not ''artificial'': it belongs to the school-leavers).
+Secondly, virulent conspiracy theories circulate in underground networks if legal eagles which doubt whether there was ever any technology involved at all, theorising instead that the whole idea of a confidentiality agreement is just an elaborate hoax.
+Thirdly, allowing for a moment it did work, this moon-shot cost a hell of a lot of time and money and was a huge distraction for a what was a dry, lifeless, inert, joyless and ultimately fairly pointless journey. It is as if the Eagle triumphantly landed on Planet NDA, they took selfies, horsed around for a bit with a space buggy and some golf clubs, collected some pumice and came home. Suddenly it’s 60 years lateral, no one’s been back to Planet NDA since, let alone colonised the rest of the galaxy.
+{{confi basic structure}}
+==The [[OneNDA]]==
+Nowadays there is a market standard commercial non-disclosure called the [[OneNDA]]. It solves a lot of problems, does away with much of the small-minded drizzling that tends to go with NDA negotiation, and really removes much of the need for this page. The JC was fairly heavily involved with its production so I’m kind of biased, but it’s pretty neat.
