What is Doctrine?

Who is it for?
It is mostly useful to these profiles: lawyers. The need it covers is simple to state: analyse contracts and legal texts.
Doctrine is a good candidate if:
- you want to try before paying
- you must keep your data in Europe or on your own machine
The best test is a concrete case from your daily work: if the tool does not beat your current method within a week, move on to an alternative.
