Your first contract review
From creating a matter to reading and exporting your first set of verified findings.
- 1Create a matter — matters are the container for documents, findings, tasks, and the audit trail. Set the jurisdiction (Nigeria is the default) so the right execution and compliance rules apply.
- 2Upload the contract — drag a PDF, DOCX, or RTF into the matter. Wait for parsing to complete (a scanned PDF takes a little longer while OCR runs).
- 3Choose a Review Level — pick how much supervision the task warrants, from low (routine) to highest (deal-critical). This governs how many findings escalate to you. See Review Level.
- 4Run the review — optionally attach a playbook so findings are judged against your firm's positions. Start the review and watch findings appear as they clear the CitationGate.
- 5Work the findings — each card shows the risk, the exact quoted clause (click to jump to the page), and the agents' reasoning. Accept, dismiss, or send to a redline.
- 6Export — generate a Word redline with native tracked changes, export the comparison grid to Excel, or download the audit trail.
