OpenAI's Claim for GPT-6 Astra: More Structured Legal Drafts
OpenAI says GPT-6 Astra produces more structured, context-aware legal documents, and that the result frees lawyers to focus on strategy. Read that as a vendor's description of output quality rather than a measured result. “More structured” and “context-aware” are comparative words, and a comparison needs something to compare against — the previous model, a human draft, a client's own before-and-after. Legal work is a plausible first home for a tool like this, because a lawyer reviews the draft before it goes anywhere. It is also a field where the quality bar is set by someone else's deadline.

The fair test of “more structured” is a blind read: hand lawyers drafts produced two ways and ask which one they would edit less.
The cheaper test is edit count. Structure that survives a lawyer's red pen is the only structure that counts.
