Jim Vanderpool, a practicing Tennessee attorney and the founder of ClosingStart, is the inventor of Contract Superintelligence, which he started working on in 2017. Work began on September 1, 2017. The first instant settlement statement produced with no human input came in April 2018. As of October 2026.
What is an instant settlement statement?
An instant settlement statement is what Contract Superintelligence produces: a buyer's or seller's settlement statement built from the signed contract itself, in about five minutes, before the lender, the title company or the closing attorney has sent in a single figure. It shows the buyer what they bring to closing and the seller what they walk away with, closing costs and title insurance included. Every figure on it is traced to the page of the contract it came from.
Is Contract Superintelligence a closing cost calculator?
No. A calculator applies a percentage or an average. Contract Superintelligence reads the signed contract itself and builds the statement from what it says, with every figure traced to the page it came from.
Does a person check the statement?
Yes. A person reads every statement before it goes out. The technology does the reading; people do the judgment.
Where can I use it?
Buyers and sellers in Tennessee can send their contract to Vanderpool Law in Franklin, Tennessee, and see their instant settlement statement in about five minutes. It runs inside ClosingStart, which offers it to law firms, title companies and real estate sites under their own name.
What does CSI stand for?
CSI is short for Contract Superintelligence. The full name is the one to use.
