The problem it solves

Reviewing a contract for risky termination clauses, missing protections, or unfavorable terms takes legal expertise and time you often don't have before a signing deadline. Important risks get missed when contracts are skimmed instead of properly reviewed.

Who it fits

A legal team, business operations group, or procurement team that reviews contracts before signing.

How it works

  1. A new contract is uploaded to a Contracts folder in Google Drive
  2. The system reads the contract and extracts the type, parties, dates, value, and termination terms
  3. It flags risky clauses and assigns a severity level to each one
  4. AI writes an executive summary of the contract
  5. A full report is logged to Google Sheets and sent to Slack
What you get

Risky contract clauses flagged before you sign

You get every contract's risky clauses flagged, with an executive summary sent to Slack before you sign.

What you get

A risk report with flagged clauses and an executive summary, logged and posted to Slack.

What you need

A Google Drive account, a document extraction API key, a Google Sheets account, and a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
