What is Contract Superintelligence?
Contract Superintelligence (CSI) is technology invented by Tennessee attorney Jim Vanderpool that reads a buyer's or seller's real estate contract and produces an instant settlement statement, closing costs and title insurance included, with every figure traced to the page of the contract it came from.
As of October 2026.
A contract goes in. A settlement statement comes out. Not a percentage, not an average from a calculator: the buyer's or the seller's own numbers, read from the pages they signed, in about five minutes.
What it is not
It is not a closing cost calculator. A calculator guesses at what a contract probably says and applies a rule of thumb. Contract Superintelligence reads the contract the way a closing attorney reads it: the sales price, the earnest money, who pays for the owner's title policy and the lender's, the seller's credit to the buyer, the closing date, and from those, the taxes, the title insurance premiums and the recording fees.
Who invented it
Jim Vanderpool, a practicing Tennessee attorney and the founder of ClosingStart, is the inventor of Contract Superintelligence, which he started working on in 2017. The first instant settlement statement produced with no human input came in April 2018. The whole story, including why he built it, is on contractsuperintelligence.ai.
Where it runs
Contract Superintelligence runs inside ClosingStart (Contract Superintelligence at ClosingStart) and powers the instant settlement statement that Vanderpool Law gives buyers and sellers in Tennessee.
