Why you need it‍

Contract review is slow and tiring, especially when you need to line up every clause against a long checklist. Small changes in wording can hide real legal, financial, or compliance risk, and those are easy to miss when you are moving fast. This agent reads the contract text, extracts key clauses, and compares them to your company checklist. It flags what is missing or risky, scores each issue based on your risk profile, and explains what to change. You get an executive summary, clear CHANGE FROM and CHANGE TO suggestions, and simple negotiation guidance that lawyers and business owners can both use.

FAQ

How does the agent use the checklist?

It reads the checklist document, turns each requirement into structured items, then matches contract clauses to those items. Anything missing, weakened, or changed is flagged as a deviation.

‍

What kind of risks can it detect?

It can highlight legal, financial, and compliance risks, such as missing liability limits, unusual indemnity language, unclear data protection terms, or unbalanced termination rights.

‍

How is the risk profile used?

The risk profile input tells the agent how strict to be. For example, with a High risk profile, it will treat more deviations as significant and assign higher risk scores. With a Low risk profile, it may only flag larger changes.

‍

What does the JSON output contain?

The JSON includes each flagged issue, the related clause or checklist item, a risk score, a risk category, and suggested mitigation or wording changes. This makes it easy to plug into other tools or dashboards.
