    Abstract: The present invention is a system and method that applies Ricardian Contract Principles to agreements. Ricardian contracts are designed for the hyper ledger, and are comprised of three main components: contract, metadata, and ledger. The present invention collects data from a confidentiality agreement, and can draft the agreement to ensure high accuracy in data extraction. Contract terms can be organized in a hierarchy of importance that ranks contract statement in the general order, such as: obligations; restrictions; rights; and conditional statements. The present invention tracks episodic and conditional terms, such as a monthly payment or a disclosure requiring notification.
