  • It can often require Contract Refactoring Validation by legal professionals.
  • It can often generate Contract Refactoring Documentation for change tracking.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Minor Contract Refactoring Task to being a Major Contract Refactoring Task, depending on its contract refactoring scope.
  • It can range from being a Manual Contract Refactoring Task to being an Automated Contract Refactoring Task, depending on its contract refactoring automation level.
  • It can range from being a Syntactic Contract Refactoring Task to being a Semantic Contract Refactoring Task, depending on its contract refactoring depth.
