Workflow

1. Identify contract type: Determine what kind of agreement user needs
2. Find precedents: Run list_precedents.py to show available deals
3. User selects: Let user choose which deals to pull from
4. Extract sections: Run extract_sections.py on selected deals
5. Assemble: Run assemble_document.py with user's section preferences
6. Fill placeholders: Use fill_placeholders.py with deal-specific info
7. Generate redline: Optionally compare to a base template
