Pre-signature decision support

See the contract risks before you agree.

A draft can look familiar and still move cost, timing or operational risk to your team. ContractIQ gives legal, commercial and procurement reviewers a structured first pass: each finding points back to the wording that prompted it, so people can decide what deserves closer attention.

Evidence-backed review prompts. A human decides what to accept, clarify or escalate.

From broad concern to a clause-level question

The review looks across obligations, dependencies, payment mechanics, liability, termination, data handling and change controls. It separates an explicit commitment from an assumption that the draft never actually makes.

For example, a promise to meet a service level is different from a service level with a measurement method, remedy and owner. The difference is often where a commercial decision starts.

  • What must each party do, by when, and what evidence shows completion?
  • Which protections are conditional, capped, excluded or left to another document?
  • Where do definitions, schedules and order forms change the practical meaning?

Useful for the decision, not a substitute for it

A finding is a review prompt, not a legal conclusion. Reviewers can test the cited text against the deal context, governing law, negotiation history and the organisation’s risk appetite before deciding whether to accept, clarify or escalate it.

The result is designed to make a focused human review easier: prioritise material issues, ask a better question of the counterparty and record why the business chose to proceed.

Review prompt
Read the cited wording with the people who own the commercial and operational outcome.

A practical evidence check

Clause evidence
“Supplier may change the Services on reasonable notice. Customer’s fees may be adjusted to reflect the change.”

The wording gives no shared test for “reasonable”, no limit on fee movement and no clear right to reject a material change. That is a prompt to check the change process, pricing schedule and termination mechanics together—not proof that the clause is unenforceable.

Human judgement
Human judgement still decides materiality. The surrounding agreement, the service being bought and the parties’ governing law can change the significance of the same words.

A focused next step

  • Confirm the parties, scope, order of precedence and governing law.
  • Check every high-priority finding against schedules and incorporated policies.
  • Capture the business owner and next question for each issue before approval.
