Contract review that starts from the risky clauses
Reviewing a single contract took four to eight hours of a lawyer's time. The agent reads it first and points at what needs a decision.

Four to eight hours before a single clause is negotiated
Lawyers work through contracts to find risks and draft protocols of disagreement — line by line.
Every incoming contract had to be read in full against the company's requirements: what must be present, what must never be. Only after that could the lawyer draft the protocol of disagreement.
At four to eight hours per contract, the reading itself was the bottleneck — not the legal judgement that followed it.
An agent that reads against your own rules
The requirements come from the legal team — for example, that a lease must contain no unilateral termination clause.
Upload the contract
inputThe lawyer uploads the contract into the system through the interface.
Read and segment
parseThe agent reads the contract and identifies its sections, so findings can be anchored to a specific place.
Check the requirements
riskEach section is checked against the company's predefined requirements and risky clauses are flagged.
Lawyer decides
checkpointThe lawyer reviews the identified risks and makes the decision — the agent never rules on a clause itself.
