Real Output: The 18 Contracts
In the proof stat we share — 18 vendor contracts reviewed with 3 flagged for human sign-off — here’s what that looked like:
The AI processed 18 active vendor agreements, extracted key terms, compared them against standard templates, and flagged:
- A terms-of-service clause with unusual liability limitation
- A renewal notice requirement (60-day, not standard 30)
- An SLA penalty structure that hadn’t been activated for a known outage
Three items that would have taken a paralegal or operations analyst hours to identify — surfaced overnight, ready for human review and decision.
