SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Contracts evolve through amendments, and the controlling language for any clause can become unclear over time, creating risk during negotiation, review, or dispute preparation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Amendment timeline summaries: Produces a chronological overview of what changed across the base agreement and each amendment, including additions, deletions, and key edits.
  • Clause-level provision trace: Traces a specific clause (e.g., indemnity, liability cap, termination, data/privacy, IP, payment, renewal) through every version and identifies the current controlling text.
  • Document ordering + auditability: Builds an ordered working index from uploaded files, inferred numbering/dates, or repository/CLM sources (when connected) and includes inline section references and exact quotes for verification.

Quick Start

Ask for the amendment history of your contract by uploading the base agreement and amendments, or request a specific clause trace by saying: Show me the amendment history and where the indemnity clause is now.
