1. The ostenatious courtship display of a fecund [[legal eagle]]. Identified as a clear instance of Darwinian mating 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 information, the longer and more stentorian the confi tends to be. A [[legal department]] whose plumage boasts an enormous multicolored NDA is effectively broadcasting to the rest of the market, “look how fertile I am! I can insist on this transparently idiotic legal contract and people sign it! It is absurd in every conceivable dimension, yet, here I still am, my business in rude health!”

(''Reg Tech'') Any class of legal contract sufficiently common, homogenous, predictable and unexciting that a machine-learning proof of concept will, in some superficial way, appear to work for a p 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]. I can give you a half hour demo. So that I can set the POC up can you send me a few sample...”

Also known, to those for whom the glass is half-empty, as a [[non-disclosure agreement]], or an [[NDA]]. Or a “[[confi]]”. An agreement whereby you promise not to tell.

This is about the ''good'' kind of [[NDA]]. The ''nice'' one. </ref>
