The backstory
Luminance built its reputation on high-stakes due diligence for BigLaw and Big Four firms, using AI to flag anomalies across huge document sets and even negotiate a standard NDA end to end without a lawyer touching it. Cheaper, generalist AI contract tools now chase the same due-diligence market at a fraction of Luminance's enterprise pricing, but the accuracy bar for M&A due diligence is unforgiving, and Luminance's specialization and long enterprise sales cycles have kept its highest-value customers from switching to less proven alternatives.
