Contract review swarm on an MSA
A four agent swarm redlines a vendor MSA, the critic earns its keep.

Multiagent Orchestration Economics Board
Context
A corporate legal team runs ~400 vendor MSAs a quarter. A single agent misses cross references; the swarm splits it, a clause extractor pulls terms, a risk scorer flags liability/indemnity/termination, a redliner proposes edits, and a citation checker verifies every claim against the firm's playbook.
The decision
Multiagent buys ~30% higher risk catch on this class for ~2.4× cost and latency. Trivially worth it on a $2M MSA; not on a $5k click through.
What most miss
The value isn't the extra agents, it's the critic. Without an adversarial reviewer, a swarm just produces confident, un cited redlines faster.
Stakes
One missed auto renewal or uncapped liability clause dwarfs a year of inference cost.
