SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It removes the manual, error-prone work of reading legalese by extracting key contract clauses into a structured, founder-friendly summary.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clause extraction with verbatim quotes: Pulls liability caps, termination terms, auto-renewal, payment terms, IP ownership, data handling, uptime commitments, and exclusivity, including the exact quote plus a plain-language summary.
  • Unfavorable-term flagging by vendor posture: Marks anything risky or unfavorable for your vendor position based on a conservative/balanced/fast-risk setting.
  • Batch folder support + renewal tracking: Scans a folder of contracts, writes per-contract outputs, and updates a renewal calendar when renewal dates exist.
  • Operational guardrails: Requires an operating context doc and the contract text (or linked files) so it never invents missing clauses and it stops when required integrations are not connected.

Quick Start

Ask to extract the auto-renewal and liability cap clauses from the contract in your Google Drive folder and flag anything unfavorable for your vendor posture.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract liability caps and auto-renewal clauses from vendor contracts?

Extract liability caps and auto-renewal clauses by processing contract files with connected document-processing providers. The Skill pulls verbatim quotes and plain-language summaries while flagging unfavorable terms based on your vendor posture setting.

Can I scan a whole folder of contracts and update my renewal calendar automatically?

Yes, batch folder support scans multiple contracts, writes per-contract markdown outputs, and updates renewal calendar entries via track-my-renewals when auto-renewal dates are detected.

How does unfavorable-term flagging work for contract analysis?

Unfavorable-term flagging marks risky clauses based on a conservative, balanced, or fast-risk vendor posture setting. It evaluates extracted terms like liability caps and exclusivity to highlight operational risks.

Do I need connected file providers to process scanned PDFs and DOCX contracts?

Yes, connected file and document-processing providers are required. The Skill selects appropriate doc-processing tools for scanned versus native PDFs and DOCX files and stops if required integrations are not connected.

What contract clauses can I extract for procurement and vendor risk workflows?

Extract termination terms, auto-renewal, payment terms, IP ownership, data handling, uptime commitments, and exclusivity clauses. Each clause includes verbatim quotes, plain-language summaries, and unfavorable-term flags for operational decision-making.

Why does contract clause extraction stop when required integrations are not connected?

Operational guardrails halt processing to prevent inventing missing clauses. The Skill requires an operating context doc and connected file providers to perform accurate clause presence and ABSENT detection.
