iContracts. Our following research will focus on val-
idating the integration experimentally.
The research novelty is that we have demonstrated
how it is possible to make explicit a traditionally im-
plicit process, in such a way that data processing be-
comes possible. So far, legal experts have not reached
consensus on how to manage contract risk. Our pa-
per shows how it is possible. Moreover, in relation to
the bow-tie method, we presented a new theoretical
version for it which builds upon the old one, disam-
biguate some of the bow-tie constructs, and enrich its
conceptualisation.
