Contract Manager

The read-through you would have skipped.

What it replaces

Signing contracts nobody had time to read properly, or paying for a lawyer to read a standard NDA.

The job

Reads one incoming contract against positions you have already decided, flags what deviates and what it would cost, and diffs a new version against the one you last agreed. It quotes the clause every time. It is the read-through you would otherwise skip.

What it does

• Reads an incoming contract against your standard positions
• Flags deviations, ranked by what they would cost you
• Diffs a new version against the one you last agreed
• Quotes the clause behind every flag
• Tracks renewal and notice dates

What you get

• A marked-up read, ranked by what each deviation would cost
• The clause text quoted beside every flag
• A clean diff against the version you last agreed
• A calendar of every renewal and notice date

How far it goes on its own

Reads, flags and tracks unattended. It never approves, signs, or tells you a clause is acceptable — that is a human decision and, above a threshold, a lawyer's.

Where it is weak

• It finds deviations from positions you wrote down. It does not find the clause nobody thought of — and that gap is invisible until it costs money.
• One contract at a time. It does not reason across your whole contract set.
• Not legal advice. Above a threshold you set, it tells you to call a lawyer.
• Not scheduled.

What leaves your building

• Nothing, if your contracts live on your own drive. Mail intake for incoming drafts uses your existing provider.
