Compare bilingual contract versions and flag clause mismatches

Translates both language versions of a contract and flags any clauses that do not match so nothing gets signed by mistake.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each clause pair.

The problem it solves

You sign contracts that exist in two languages, but you can't always verify both versions say the same thing. A mistranslated clause can slip through and cause a dispute months later.

Who it fits

Import-export companies and law firms that negotiate contracts in more than one language.

How it works

  1. New contract draft with two language versions lands in a shared folder
  2. AI extracts and aligns each clause between the two versions
  3. Each clause pair is translated and cross-checked for meaning against the other
  4. Any mismatch is flagged with a plain-English explanation
  5. A summary report is sent to the reviewing attorney or manager
What you get

Clause mismatches flagged before signing

You get a plain-English summary of where the two language versions of a contract might not say the same thing before anyone signs.

What you get

A clause-by-clause mismatch report for each bilingual contract.

What you need

Cloud storage account, translation API, and email or Slack for alerts.

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.
