1. (''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> | 1.

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...” | 2. (''[[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).
