Key Value Pillars for Legal, Procurement & Risk
Policy-Based Clause Selection, Every Time
Automatically recommends clauses and fallback positions based on deal type, geography, and risk—ensuring every negotiation starts from an approved, policy-based clause selection approach without manual searching or guesswork.
Embedded Legal & Risk Governance
Applies your playbooks, approval thresholds, and risk standards at the moment of drafting and negotiation, reducing off-policy concessions and preventing late-stage legal escalations.
From Drafting Effort to Structured Decisions
Transforms clause selection into structured, explainable recommendations with clear rationale, making negotiation decisions easier to review, audit, and refine over time.
Strategic Focus for Legal & Procurement Teams
Eliminates repetitive clause lookup, fallback drafting, and policy validation—freeing teams to focus on complex negotiations, risk assessment, and strategic supplier outcomes.
Scale Consistent Contracting Globally
Centralize approved clause logic while allowing controlled regional or category-specific variations, enabling consistent contracting across teams without increasing legal overhead.
How the Agent Operates
Listens Across Contract Inputs
- The Agent ingests draft contracts, supplier paper, templates, and negotiation inputs from CLM systems, document uploads, and collaboration tools—working within existing contracting workflows without disruption.
Understands Deal Context & Risk
- Uses AI to analyze deal type, jurisdiction, supplier posture, and risk indicators to understand where deviations, approvals, or fallbacks may be required.
Applies AI Template Clause Matching
- Leverages AI template clause matching to identify the most appropriate approved clause from your clause library and playbooks, aligning recommendations with policy, risk standards, and regional requirements.
Orchestrates Review & Visibility
- Surfaces recommended clauses and fallback options directly in the workflow, tracks reviewer decisions and overrides, and maintains a fully auditable trail across Legal, Procurement, and Risk teams.
Inside the AI Brain: Agent Capabilities
Multi-Signal Clause Understanding Engine
Analyzes contract language, clause structure, deal context, jurisdiction, and risk indicators to understand intent and classify clause types with higher consistency than manual review or static rules—powered by AI clause identification.
Policy-Aware Recommendation Logic
Combines machine learning with your approved playbooks, fallback positions, and risk thresholds to ensure every recommended clause aligns with legal policy and negotiation standards.
Risk & Deviation Detection
Instantly flags non-standard, missing, or high-risk clauses and routes them into a human-in-the-loop review flow for legal and risk teams.
Smart Clause Recommendations & Alternatives
Uses AI clause rewriting to suggest safer alternative language and fallback positions that preserve commercial intent while reducing legal and compliance risk.
Continuous Learning with Oversight
Improves clause matching and rewrite quality over time by learning from reviewer approvals, edits, and overrides—while maintaining a transparent, explainable, and auditable control layer.
Human-in-the-Loop Governance
The Agent speeds up clause recommendations while ensuring governance rules remain in full control.
Explainable Decisions
Every clause and fallback recommendation is transparent, showing the playbook, policy, and risk rationale behind each suggestion.
Policy Always Prevails
Compliance-driven clause recommendations are governed by your approved playbooks and thresholds. AI suggestions never override mandatory legal or risk positions.
Human Override Built In
Legal and Procurement teams can approve, edit, or reject any recommendation, ensuring a clear human-in-the-loop model for high-risk or exceptional cases.
Outcomes You Can Measure
Faster contract turnaround by reducing time spent searching clause libraries and drafting fallbacks.
Fewer late-stage escalations through earlier policy alignment.
More consistent contracting positions across teams and regions.
Better compliance posture with clear documentation of decisions.
