What it does

Clarence takes both sides of a contract negotiation through a structured, AI-mediated process — from first intake to an agreed, professionally drafted document — with a qualified legal partner behind the platform.

The problem it solves

Contract negotiation is slow, adversarial and expensive. Most businesses and individuals either overpay for routine agreements or sign without proper review. Clarence makes a rigorous negotiation affordable and fast.

The market opportunity

Legal services are among the largest and least digitised professional markets. Contract work is the highest-volume entry point, and AI-mediated negotiation is a category with no established leader.

The team

Paul and Carl (Spike Island Studios) with John Hayward, an experienced legal practitioner, as legal partner — a deliberate pairing of production discipline, narrative craft and professional accountability.

Current stage

Live platform with real negotiations completed, instrumented end-to-end with the studio’s production-control methods, and in active commercial development.
