Industries/Construction & engineering/Contract Agent
Subcontracts and bonds,pay-if-paid and indemnity.
Legal stores executed subcontracts while field teams work from outdated rates. The Contract Agent extracts indemnity, insurance limits, pay-if-paid clauses, and notice periods, compares them to your construction playbook, and drafts redlines preconstruction approves before subs execute.

How it works
Same pipeline as the live Contract Agent module.
- 1
Segment and classify
Split the agreement into clauses by type: renewal, liability, payment, escalation, SLA, data protection, governing law, and more.
- 2
Extract terms
Pull notice periods, liability cap months, annual escalator percentages, net payment days, and SLA targets from the text.
- 3
Score vs playbook
Rate each clause low through critical based on your standard positions — for example escalator above 3% or cap under 12 months of fees.
- 4
Propose redlines
Generate suggested replacement language for medium- and high-risk clauses with word-level diff against the original.
- 5
Track renewals
Surface end dates, auto-renew flags, and notice deadlines; draft renegotiation or non-renewal letters when windows are active.
