## ACT 1 — THE DOOR (0:00 - 1:30)

**[Screen: Dark marble. Near-black. The cursor glows.]**

> There are about four million lawyers in the United States. They charge between two hundred and two thousand dollars an hour. And most of that time is spent on work that follows a pattern.
>
> Reading contracts. Spotting risks. Checking compliance. Researching questions that have been researched a thousand times before.
>
> What if you could hire a full law firm — not a chatbot, a *firm* — and deploy it in under a minute?

**[The landing page animates in. "Welcome to Lavern." Two buttons appear: "Human" and "Agent".]**

> This is Lavern. The front door asks one question: are you a human, or are you an agent? Because both are clients now.

**[Click "Human".]**

---

## ACT 2 — THE LOBBY (1:30 - 2:15)

**[Screen: Bright marble hall. LAVERN wordmark with the illumination sweep. "The Agentic Law Firm." "Excellence doesn't scale. *Until now.*"]**

> This is the lobby. Lavern is a multi-agent law firm. Behind this door there are fifty-seven specialist agents — contract reviewers, regulatory counsel, risk pricers, ethics auditors, plain language specialists. They debate each other. They challenge each other's findings. They cite their evidence. And they do it in minutes, not weeks.

**[Click "Enter".]**

---

## ACT 3 — THE DASHBOARD (2:15 - 2:45)

**[Screen: Dashboard. "Your Engagements." Begin Engagement button. Express Lane glowing.]**

> The dashboard is simple. You can begin a new engagement — which takes you through our full intake process — or you can use the Express Lane. That's for when you know what you want and you just want the machine to run.
>
> Let me show you the full flow first.

**[Click "Begin Engagement".]**

---

## ACT 4 — INTAKE (2:45 - 3:30)

**[Screen: Intake. Two cards: "Drop & Go" and "Guided Intake".]**

> Client intake. Two modes. Drop and Go is for when you have a document and just want to throw it over the wall. Guided Intake walks you through a proper client onboarding — conflict check, KYC screening, engagement letter. The same process a real law firm runs before they touch your matter.

**[Click "Guided Intake" — quickly advance through steps, or click "Drop & Go" and drag in a document. Either way, get to the end and proceed.]**

> Lavern runs an automated conflict check, verifies the client, and generates an engagement letter. The client reviews and accepts.

**[Continue to Briefing.]**

---

## ACT 5 — THE BRIEFING (3:30 - 5:00)

**[Screen: Briefing. Document upload area. Context meter on the side.]**

> The briefing room. This is where you give Lavern context. Upload your documents — PDFs, Word files, whatever you have.

**[Upload a document or skip. Show the context meter filling up.]**

> Watch this context meter. Lavern is tracking how much it knows about your matter. Documents, answers, follow-up questions — it all adds up to a confidence score.

**[If time: show the interviewer picker and the conversational interview. If tight on time: advance through questions quickly.]**

> You can choose an interviewer persona — each one has a different style. The senior partner asks different questions than the junior associate. This is an LLM-powered interview that adapts based on your answers.

**[Show the final brief / memo generation.]**

> At the end, Lavern generates a structured briefing memo. This is what the team will work from. You can edit it, add final instructions, or just approve and move on.

**[Click "Commence" to continue.]**

---

## ACT 6 — STRATEGY (5:00 - 5:45)

**[Screen: Strategy. Workflow cards. Intensity selector. Orchestrator card.]**

> Now you shape the engagement. Four approaches: Quick Counsel for fast answers. Deep Review for contract analysis. Stress Test for adversarial research. The Roundtable for multi-perspective document redesign.

**[Click through workflows. Show the orchestrator changing.]**

> Each approach has a team lead — an orchestrator. Watch how it changes. Quick Counsel is led by The Fixer. Deep Review by The Closer. The Roundtable by The Conductor. These aren't random — each orchestrator has a specialty.

**[Adjust intensity slider.]**

> The intensity dial controls depth. Quick is three agents, two to five minutes, a few dollars. Maximal is the full firm — fourteen agents on your case, every quality gate, every angle checked. Up to three hours and forty dollars. You decide how much law you need.

**[Continue to Instruct.]**

---

## ACT 7 — INSTRUCT & TEAM (5:45 - 6:30)

**[Screen: Instruct. Orchestrator card with text area.]**

> Before the work begins, you brief the team lead directly. "Focus on the indemnification clause." "We have a tight deadline." "The client is risk-averse." This is the human-in-the-loop moment — you set the priorities.

**[Type a quick instruction. Continue to Team.]**

**[Screen: Team. Agent cards with portraits. Category filters. Team bench at bottom.]**

> And here is the roster. Every agent has a profile — their expertise, their billing rate, their role in the firm. You can browse by category, filter by specialty, or just use one of the presets.

**[Click a few agent cards to show the flip animation. Show cost updating in the bench.]**

> Partners, associates, specialists, juniors. Each one costs different. The team bench tracks your selection and the total cost in real time.

**[Confirm team to start the session.]**

---

## ACT 8 — THE WORK (6:30 - 7:30)

**[Screen: Working. Heartbeat band. Insight feed populating.]**

> Now the firm goes to work.

**[Let the stream run. Point out the heartbeat band showing active agents, cost, steps.]**

> This is the live dashboard. At the top you see which agents are active, the current workflow step, the running cost. Below that is the insight feed — every finding, every debate, every challenge streams in real time.

**[Wait for some findings and debates to appear. Point them out.]**

> Watch this. The contract reviewer found a non-mutual indemnification clause. The ethics auditor is challenging it — asking for stronger evidence. This is a real debate happening between agents, in real time.

**[If a gate appears, show it. Otherwise, let it run until completion or skip to delivery.]**

> When the work is done — usually in a few minutes for a standard engagement — it automatically transitions to delivery.

---

## ACT 9 — DELIVERY (7:30 - 8:30)

**[Screen: Delivery. Six tabs.]**

> Delivery. Six tabs. This is not just a wall of text.

**[Click through the tabs as you talk.]**

> "The Work" is your primary deliverable — the executive summary, the detailed analysis, ready to download as Word or PDF. "The Review" shows process transparency — what was checked, what was debated, what was escalated. "The Story" is a narrative walkthrough for stakeholders who want to understand what happened and why. "The Scorecard" shows quality metrics — verification pass rates, confidence levels, team performance. "Next Steps" gives you an implementation guide with watch-outs and timelines. And "Ask the Team" — you can actually ask follow-up questions. The team is still here. Ask them anything about the work they just did.

**[Continue to Billing.]**

---

## ACT 10 — BILLING & CLOSE (8:30 - 9:00)

**[Screen: Billing. Invoice with cost breakdown.]**

> And the invoice. Every dollar accounted for. Cost broken down by phase, by model tier — which agents used which level of reasoning power. No surprises.

**[Scroll through the cost breakdown.]**

> A standard engagement runs about three to ten dollars. A maximal full-firm engagement, maybe forty. Compare that to what a traditional law firm charges for the same work.

---

## ACT 11 — THE AGENT DOOR (9:00 - 9:45)

**[Navigate back to landing. Click "Agent" this time.]**

> Now let me show you the other door.

**[Screen: Agent Docs. Dark marble. Discovery, pricing, reputation sections.]**

> This is the same firm, but for machines. An AI agent can discover Lavern through standard protocols — A2A Agent Cards, OpenAPI specs, llms.txt. It can read the pricing endpoint to budget before it commits. It can check the reputation endpoint to compare us against alternatives. And it can pay with USDC on Base through the x402 protocol — no account needed.

**[Scroll through the sections. Show the Discovery endpoints, the Live Pricing table, the Trust & Reputation metrics.]**

> Every endpoint is machine-readable. An agent doesn't need to read documentation. It can register, send a task, and receive structured JSON findings — all through one API call.

---

## CLOSING (9:45 - 10:00)

> Lavern is an agentic law firm. Yours. It serves humans through the interface you just saw. It serves agents through an API. Same engine. Same quality. Same debate. Same citations.
>
> Apache 2.0. Open source. Free to use, free to fork, free to take in any direction you can defend.
