I'm thinking about a ton of contracts. Like, like an absolute mountain of PDFs and doc signs, speaking loosely. How do you guys convert the written word here into the rules and, um, kind of guidelines for the ledger system to understand?
Is that done by humans, the translation process, or is that something that AI can now handle based on its ability to reason?
