Contract Review, Risk Flagging & Compliance Tracking
An SME's legal team reviews 40+ contracts per month — vendor agreements, client MSAs, NDAs, and lease renewals. Each review takes 2–3 hours of manual reading, clause checking, and deadline tracking. This RAG-powered AI system reads contracts against your company's policies and flags what matters.

How the Automation Works
Three parallel lanes — document ingestion, RAG-powered contract analysis, and compliance tracking — working together.
Diagram is illustrative. Your workflow will be customised to your contract types, policies, and compliance requirements.
Step-by-Step Breakdown
Eight stages from contract ingestion to compliance monitoring — every step designed to keep your legal team focused on decisions, not paperwork.
Multi-Source Ingestion
AutomatedContracts arrive via email, SharePoint, DocuSign webhooks, or manual upload. The agent handles PDF, DOCX, and scanned documents (with OCR).
Key Term Extraction
AI AgentAI agent reads the full contract and extracts: parties, effective dates, termination clauses, payment terms, liability caps, indemnity provisions, non-compete restrictions, renewal conditions, and governing law.
RAG Policy Check
RAG + AI AgentThis is where it gets powerful. The agent queries your company’s internal policy database (built as a RAG knowledge base) to compare each extracted clause against your standards. “Does this indemnity clause match our standard? Is this liability cap within our accepted range?”
Risk Classification
Decision GateNon-standard clauses are classified: Low (minor deviation, likely acceptable), Medium (notable deviation, needs review), High (materially different from policy, requires legal sign-off).
Risk Summary Generation
ActionFor flagged contracts, the agent generates a 1-page risk summary: what’s standard, what’s not, what the specific deviations are, and a recommended action (approve, negotiate, reject). Sent to the legal team.
Approval Workflow
Human-in-the-LoopLegal team reviews the summary (not the full 40-page contract). They approve, request revisions, or reject. If revisions needed, the agent drafts suggested clause amendments based on your standard templates.
Contract Registry Update
AutomatedApproved contracts are automatically logged: parties, key dates, obligations, and renewal triggers. The registry is always current — no manual spreadsheet maintenance.
Compliance Deadline Tracking
AutomatedAgent monitors all active contracts for upcoming deadlines: renewals, terminations, payment milestones, compliance certifications. Sends alerts at 30 days, 7 days, and day-of. Zero missed deadlines.
