Hey Chell, I’ve been thinking about how the rules of a corporate contract can feel a lot like a puzzle—each clause a lock, each loophole a potential key. How do you approach breaking down a complex system when you’re under pressure to solve it quickly?
Treat it like a door that won’t open. First, take the whole thing apart into single lines, ignore the fluff, just see the core conditions. Then look for the weakest link – a clause that can be twisted or an assumption that can be ignored. Under pressure you have to drop the unnecessary steps, focus on the part that will let you get past the next lock. Keep your eyes on the goal and don’t let the paperwork distract you. That’s how I get through any contract puzzle.
