Abstract
The present disclosure provides for a method of automatically updating a digitally stored model of an electronic contract over the lifetime of a contract, including a step of receiving an update to an attribute of a digitally stored contract model. Further, retrieving, from a digital data store, model description data and a plurality of answer values. Based on the model description data and answer values, creating a graph of answer data and variables required in the electronic contract as nodes and edges, where nodes represent the answer data and variables, and edges represent dependencies of the nodes. Next, removing edges that are determined from first variables to second variables that the first variables had been declared as using. From the update to the attributes of the contract model, removing one or more nodes corresponding to the one or more variables that are not directly referenceable by the document.
