Solution · Contracts · suppliers, clients, contractors

Every clause checked automatically, and the risky ones marked for a lawyer

We build this system to order for companies and their lawyers. Ordinary software compares each contract with your templates word by word, and AI understands contracts on the other side’s form, weighs each clause against your legal policy and chooses where the contract goes. Terms against the policy wait for a lawyer, and only a person agrees to them

Who works with it

In-house lawyer

A lawyer on the company’s staff

Gets the contracts that differ from your templates or go against the policy, each clause beside the template’s wording, and decides on each

Head of legal

Runs the company’s legal work

Sets the templates and the legal policy: the terms the company accepts and the ones it does not. Decides which contract types may be signed without a lawyer

Deal manager

Sales or purchasing: brings in the other side’s contract

Uploads the contract and gets the summary and the route, so they see which clauses the lawyer will raise with the other side

Example contracts

Pick a contract and see what differs from your template

Made-up contracts of a company that buys, sells and hires. Its templates and policy stand for the ones your lawyers would set

Pick an example contract

A packaging supplier sent the contract on its own form

Supply contractAI The other side’s form, each clause matched to your template by AI
  1. SubjectAs in your template
  2. PriceAgainst the policy

    The contract: The supplier may change prices with 10 days’ notice to the buyer

    Your template: Prices stay fixed for the term of the contract

    AI The supplier can raise the price on its own. Your policy does not accept that

  3. DeliveryAs in your template
  4. Late deliveryDiffers

    The contract: no such clause

    Your template: A penalty for each day a delivery is late

    AI If a delivery is late, the supplier pays nothing

  5. LiabilityAgainst the policy

    The contract: The buyer is liable for all the supplier’s losses, without limit

    Your template: Each side is liable up to the value of the contract

    AI Your company’s liability has no ceiling. Your policy requires one

Where the contract goes AIOn hold for a lawyer

The contract is not sent for signing until a lawyer decides on each term against the policy: agree to it, or ask the other side to change it

a person decides

Software, AI and a person

Who does which part of the work

Software and AI read every contract. A lawyer gets the clauses that need one

Rule

Ordinary software

Monotonous work with clear rules

  • Takes each new contract from email or the document system, with the deal from the CRM
  • Compares a contract on your template with the template word by word and marks every change
  • Finds earlier contracts with the same company in the archive
  • Holds a contract with a term against the policy until a lawyer decides
  • Writes the summary and the route to the document system and the CRM
AI

AI: understand, weigh and choose

The small decisions on every contract

  • Reads contracts on the other side’s form, scans included, and finds the clause of your template each one answers
  • Finds the clauses that are missing: no penalty for late delivery, no transfer of rights to the work
  • Weighs each difference against your legal policy: acceptable, a question for a lawyer, or a term you do not accept
  • Writes the summary: the other side, the term, the payment and how to end the contract
  • Chooses the route, and sends a contract to a lawyer when it cannot read a clause
a person decides

A person

Every difference and every risk

  • A lawyer decides on each clause that differs from your template
  • A lawyer asks the other side to change a term, or agrees to it
  • Only a lawyer agrees to a term against the policy
  • The head of legal sets the templates and the policy
  • The head of legal decides which contract types may be signed without a lawyer
How a project starts

Four stages. After each one, you decide whether to go on

First on contracts you have signed, then on new ones

  1. Usually firstDiscovery and specification
    In
    The contracts you sign most often, your templates and how a contract is approved today
    You get
    A written specification: which contract types come first, what the system needs, what it will cost and in what order. The document is yours whether or not we build it
  2. ThenTest on signed contracts
    In
    Contracts your lawyers have already reviewed, with their edits if you keep them
    You get
    What the system would have marked in each, next to what your lawyers marked
  3. ThenPilot on one contract type
    In
    New contracts of one type you choose: supply, services or NDAs
    You get
    A summary and a route for each. A lawyer still reads every contract in full while the policy is being set
  4. When you decideRollout
    In
    The contract types you choose
    You get
    Every new contract of those types goes through the review. Your lawyers change the templates and the policy
Six questions we ask first
  1. How many contracts do you sign a year? We plan the system and the pilot around it
  2. How long does a lawyer spend on one contract today? The pilot is measured against it
  3. How many lawyers work at the company? The routes are planned around them
  4. Do you have standard contract templates? A contract on your template is compared word by word. Without templates, we start from contracts you have signed
  5. Which contract types do you sign most often? The pilot starts with one of them
  6. Which document system do you use? The pilot connects to it, and the summary and the route are written there
In our cases

A part of this we have built for a client

It reads medical charts, not contracts. The split is the same: AI reads and finds the rule, the attorney decides
