| --------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Risk Scoring**            | Clarity, enforceability, and risk scores (0-100)                 |
| **Executive Summary**       | AI-generated overview of key terms and obligations               |
| **Section Analysis**        | Detailed breakdown of each contract section                      |

## How It Works

All API endpoints follow an asynchronous pattern for reliability:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Submit Request">
    Send your document URL or research query to the appropriate endpoint
  </Step>

  <Step title="Receive Job ID">
    Get a unique identifier to track the processing job
  </Step>

  <Step title="Processing">
    Arbiter processes your request (time varies by complexity)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Poll Status">
    Check job status periodically until complete
  </Step>

  <Step title="Retrieve Results">
    Fetch comprehensive results in your preferred format
  </Step>
</Steps>

**Optional:** Configure webhook notifications to receive automatic callbacks when processing completes.
