#HumansofFactor. Meet Amy McDermott! Amy is a Marketing Manager at Factor who recently competed in the 2024 HYROX Dublin event (pictured with her partner, Desi). "I discovered HYROX through my gym a couple of years ago. It's a unique race format where you're really competing against yourself – eight challenging stations like sled pushes, pulls, and burpee broad jumps, each separated by 1km runs. While you can compete solo, I compete in the doubles competition with my partner, Desi, whom I actually met at the gym! We now have two HYROX competitions under our belt – Copenhagen and Dublin. While Copenhagen gave us the perfect excuse for a mini-holiday, Dublin was special as we were accompanied by about 40 others from our gym community, and we had Desi's sister cheering us on. We even hit a personal best of 1:11:22, beating our Copenhagen time! After trying various team sports, I found my home in the gym – a place where I could focus solely on my own progress. This led me to unexpected achievements, including becoming the Irish Indoor Rowing Champion for 1000 meters a couple of years ago! When our gym became a HYROX affiliate, it felt like a natural progression. The format perfectly suits me – low-skill, high-endurance workouts that challenge you while being accessible to anyone. Training with Desi has added another dimension to our relationship. We sync our schedules for early morning classes, practice transitions, and push each other to improve. The gym has become more than just a place to work out – it's a thriving community where relationships are built through shared experiences, from post-class coffees to our upcoming black-tie Christmas ball. This sense of community resonates with my work at Factor, where I help bring together legal and business leaders at industry events. Both environments show how shared experiences and mutual support can create lasting connections and drive success. Starting my days at 5:15 am in the gym might sound intense, but it sets me up perfectly for work. By the time I reach my desk, I'm energized and ready to tackle anything. Whether it's HYROX competitions, weightlifting, or just a solid cardio session, this balance keeps me driven both personally and professionally."?

During our recent webinar, we previewed Mosaic, the intelligent contract extraction, interpretation and reasoning tool in Factor’s Integral suite of GenAI Accelerators. Mosaic goes beyond simple data extraction, using advanced reasoning to understand and analyze your contracts and documents. From rapidly identifying and analyzing data usage provisions to supporting compliance requirements like the EU AI Act, Mosaic could cut months from contract review cycles while providing clear reasoning traces and strategic insights. Watch this short demo to see how Mosaic transforms contract analysis from mere data extraction to intelligent risk assessment. Missed the webinar? Watch on-demand here: https://ow.ly/K45M50UfHRt
