I. How it works
Piece by piece, the file becomes the draft.
Starling gathers what is on the file and builds the document from it.
An illustration: an engraving of the roots of a tree, with one thing from the file at the end of each root. Ink rises through each root in turn, and a section of a demand letter is written as it does. The consultation call, the emails, the employment contract, the pay records, and counsel’s notes become the sections named Background, Chronology, Termination provisions, Compensation, and Demand. The letter is then marked ready for review.
