For CTOs & AI Engineers

What Happens After They Sign

One signature should trigger onboarding, billing, provisioning, and five other systems. In most companies, it triggers an email to ops asking them to set things up manually.

A signature is not a UI element. It's the highest-stakes state transition in a B2B system.

The moment someone signs, eight things happen. The contract status changes. The pipeline advances to closed_won. The signed PDF is downloaded and stored. A version entry is created. The document is indexed into RAG for institutional memory. A CRM sync fires. A revenue entry is auto-created. Every team member is notified.

One ink mark. Eight system responses. Zero manual steps. Because the moment a deal is signed, the negotiation document becomes an operational document. Obligations begin. Billing activates. Timelines start. And if any of those eight things requires a human to remember to do it, one of them won't happen.
