• Build and annotate a clause and template library reflecting Lambda's standard and fallback contract positions
• Use Claude or other AI tools to build and test an intake workflow that produces first‑pass issue‑spot summaries for counsel review
• Draft a library of response templates for routine counterparty negotiation asks
• Assist with onboarding the company on a new contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform
