Commercial lease → key terms

The break penalty isn't in the doc — so it's nulled and flagged, not invented.

Tool-Use & Structured Output

Context

A commercial lease is parsed for rent, escalations, and the break option. The break penalty references 'Exhibit D — amount to be determined'; the first pass invents a number, and the gate forces it to null-and-flag for legal review instead.

The decision

Null-and-flag beats hallucinate: any value not present in the document is set null and routed to legal, never guessed — because a confident wrong number is worse than an honest blank.

What most miss

Extraction demos reward filling every field. On legal docs the disciplined move is leaving a field null when the source defers it — a fabricated penalty is a liability, not a convenience.

Stakes

An invented lease term that reaches an abstract or a model is a legal and valuation error carried downstream.

Takeaway · If it isn't in the document, null it and flag it — a confident wrong number is worse than a blank.
