SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It eliminates uncertainty and delays when a contract term, dollar value, or trigger exceeds an individual reviewer’s authority by automatically identifying the correct approver and drafting a clear escalation ask.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Escalation matrix matching: Reads the escalation rules from the practice-level CLAUDE.md, classifies the issue (threshold, term deviation, automatic trigger, or business decision), and selects the appropriate approver.
  • Approver-ready message drafting: Produces a ready-to-send escalation draft (what’s wrong, what the contract says, what the playbook says, options, and a decision-by date if known) without sending it.
  • Matter context support: Uses practice-level context by default, and can incorporate active matter context when enabled.
  • Calibration and safety guidance: Includes rules for handling ambiguity so important escalations aren’t missed due to overconfidence.

Quick Start

Use /commercial-legal:escalation-flagger with the contract issue details to draft the escalation message for the right approver based on the escalation matrix in the practice-level CLAUDE.md.

Frequently Asked Questions about escalation-flagger

FAQPage Schema
How do I route contract escalation items to the correct approver?▼

You can route contract issues by classifying the problem—such as a threshold breach, term deviation, or automatic trigger—and matching it against the escalation matrix defined in your practice-level playbook to name the correct approver.

What is an escalation matrix in legal contract review?▼

An escalation matrix is a governance framework in a legal playbook that maps contract issues—like threshold breaches or term deviations—to the specific approver authorized to handle them, ensuring proper routing and GC sign-off.

How do I draft an escalation request for a contract approval routing?▼

Drafting an escalation request involves summarizing the contract issue, citing relevant playbook guidance, outlining options, and specifying a decision-by date to produce a ready-to-review message without automatically sending it.

Can I use practice-level context for contract escalation without matter-specific data?▼

Yes, contract escalation flagging applies practice-level context by default to classify issues and identify approvers, and can also incorporate active matter context when enabled for more precise routing.

When should a contract issue be flagged for GC sign-off?▼

A contract issue should be flagged for GC sign-off when it exceeds a reviewer's authority, such as triggering automatic escalation clauses, breaching approval thresholds, or requiring a business decision beyond standard term limits.
