## What it does

Give Norma the agreement and the scope question. Norma reads the supplied terms, links each finding to its source and shows what is included, excluded or unresolved. You decide how to handle the request; Norma records only the changes you authorize.

## Usage

Ask Norma in plain language. With Arch Studio connected through MCP, no $ or / command is required. Norma is your assistant working with Arch Studio.

```text
Use Arch Studio to compare the client’s request for a third workshop with this agreement, which lists two workshops. Cite the relevant wording and identify what needs clarification. Show me the scope finding before changing project records.
```

## What it tracks

### Agreement context

Norma keeps the parties, term, fees and caps tied to the agreement or other supplied evidence. Missing facts remain unknown.

### Scope questions

Norma compares the requested service with the recorded scope and governing documents. The finding is advisory, with the supporting wording identified.

### Amendments

Norma links each amendment to its registered source and date. Earlier agreement documents and evidence remain available.
