{{ExpertIntro|Initial hypothesis for contract validation: endorsement would be the recognition of a template by lawyers who take named responsibility and are prepared to defend it, inspired by Wikipedia's peer review. Anyone could contribute; all templates stay freely accessible with a maturity mention. Only endorsed contracts are intended to deploy in the apps; others remain usable at the user's own risk.}}

* '''All other templates''' would remain available on a goodwill basis. They would generally be much better than contracts invented from scratch by amateurs: a template drafted collectively and refined through feedback tends to be better than one written by a single person, and an imperfect contract is better than no contract at all. They would however be used at the user's own risk, without a guarantee of full legal alignment or of the absence of loopholes. And even when a text itself has no loophole, gaps often appear in the way it is applied.
