Industries/Energy & utilities/Contract Agent
MSAs and pass-through clauses,insurance and indemnity.
Legal negotiates indemnity and insurance while operations tracks rate updates separately from executed PDFs. The Contract Agent compares limitation of liability, insurance certificate requirements, and price adjustment clauses to your utility playbook and tracks notice periods before MSAs renew.

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.
