Cut first-pass contract review from hours to minutes

A corporate legal team

A busy legal team could stop retyping the same redlines on every contract. The idea: an agent that reads an incoming agreement, checks each clause against the playbook, flags the risk, and drafts the redlines a lawyer can accept or edit.

The opportunity

First-pass contract review is slow and inconsistent. Lawyers read each agreement line by line, compare it against a standard they hold in their heads, and mark the same redlines over and over. Under deadline pressure, risky terms slip through. The opportunity is to make the first pass fast and consistent so lawyers spend their time on negotiation.

The build

What we would build

No black box. These are the concrete pieces we would put in place, in the order they matter, with a human in the loop wherever the stakes are high.

  1. 1

    Segment each contract into clauses and map them to the team's playbook

  2. 2

    Compare every clause against the standard positions and score the risk on each one

  3. 3

    Draft tracked-change redlines and fallback language, with a citation behind each edit

  4. 4

    Hand the lawyer a marked-up draft with a clause-by-clause summary of what changed and why

  5. 5

    Capture the edits the lawyer accepts or rejects to sharpen the playbook over time
