# Decombine Welcome to the **Decombine Handbook**: Decombine Corporation's [[Open Core]] documentation. Decombine is a software company developing the open source Decombine Smart Legal Contract (SLC) software and specification. ## Smart Legal Contracts SLC can be used to perform programmatic contractual execution in a standardized, templated, and declarative way. SLC are not a replacement for natural language contracts, but instead, a means to augment conventional contracts.

Human agreement is anchored in the 8th century, with much of it being slow, difficult to understand, and expensive to customize. Decombine is redefining how we form agreements by making them easy to form, affordable for anyone, and smart enough to take work off our plates so we can focus on the real problems.
