Building Augmented Intelligence

In January, I sat with 30 of the most senior legal leaders in the world and made a prediction: the frontier labs would move into the application layer, the wrapper premium would collapse, and enterprises would go directly to the labs instead of the wrappers. This week, that prediction became official. Anthropic just launched Claude for Legal. The wrapper companies know their pricing power has eroded, and their own leadership has said so publicly. What is less discussed is what happens next. The foundation models are converging on the same performance ceiling. They are getting very good at routine legal work, but they are trained on "The Law," not your company's law. They are blind to your precedents, your risk posture, and how your top experts actually think under pressure. That knowledge represents roughly 70% of what customers pay for, and no foundation model has access to it. That is the gap we built Eudia to close. Our Enterprise Brain encodes institutional knowledge into Expert Digital Twins: your best lawyer's judgment, captured and made infinitely scalable. Every recommendation traces back to the reasoning that informed it. The output carries your institution's knowledge, not just the law. By the end of 2026, cost-per-outcome will be the only competition that matters. The companies that encode institutional knowledge into a compounding advantage will win. The ones that treated model access as the product will face a cost crisis with no ROI to show for it. You can read my full thoughts in the newsletter.
