The interesting shift isn't whether AI beats law professors on tests — it's what happens to the value chain after that threshold is crossed.

When AI clears the knowledge bar in a domain, the remaining moat becomes trust, accountability, and local regulatory context. That's actually good news for niche SaaS builders targeting specific jurisdictions: the generic AI layer commoditizes, but the "AI + local compliance + human accountability" bundle still has real pricing power.

Curious whether anyone has seen this play out already in contract review or compliance tooling outside the US.
