@joshuaheard -- thanks for the comment. I think it's fair to say it's an overstatement. The tools we have live are merely around Delaware incorporation, and yes this is a minuscule piece of the big picture.

I think there's a few reasons why this is a very interesting and key piece, though. To my mind, here are a few reasons:

- modeling and automating corporate transactions starts with the easier stuff, and expands into more complicated transactions; - the way VCs (or more broadly, the technology industry) set up companies (e.g., with vesting; transferring nascent technology and intellectual property) probably should be adopted more universally (not to say that many small businesses should be corporations); - the technology industry sets trends.

Other in-roads we are working on that are also key to my mind are: - integrating transactions and documents with cap tables; - scripting complex documents with the full set of options the documents routinely cover; - building in the models that frequently built in spreadsheets and circulated with documents.
