AI+ for Contract Review

Read Faster, Spot the Risk and Negotiate from Strength

Read the risk. Know what you're signing. Negotiate with evidence.

Most commercial professionals sign contracts they haven't fully understood. Not from carelessness — from the gap between legal language and working time. AI+ for Contract Review gives non-lawyers a structured, repeatable workflow: the ACCORD Framework moves through every contract in six stages; 34 prompt templates extract and translate the clauses that matter; a negotiation brief system converts risk analysis into a position you can defend. Built by an AI engineering firm for commercial managers, procurement professionals, and HR leaders who need to sign with confidence — not crossed fingers.

Inside
  • 34 ready-made, market-tested prompts: clause extraction, obligations mapping, version comparison, negotiation briefs
  • The ACCORD Framework — six-stage contract review that goes straight to the risk, not page 1
  • A supplier comparison workflow that produces a risk-adjusted view of competing proposals
  • A negotiation brief system that converts contract risk analysis into a structured position with walk-away lines
  • A 30-day plan for procurement managers, commercial managers, and HR professionals
Who this is for

Procurement managers, commercial managers, operations managers, HR managers, account managers, project managers, and SME owners — any professional who signs, negotiates, or administers contracts as a routine part of their role, without formal legal training. They encounter contracts constantly: supplier agreements, service contracts, employment terms, NDAs, software licences. They need to know what they're agreeing to, where the risk sits, and what to push back on — without hiring a lawyer for every document.

Also for:Junior lawyers and paralegals who want to speed up their review workflow; business owners who manage commercial relationships without a legal team; executive assistants who administer contracts on behalf of senior leaders.

You’ll be able to
  • Apply the ACCORD Framework to review any commercial contract systematically and with purpose
  • Identify and evaluate high-risk clause categories — liability caps, indemnities, IP ownership, termination, exclusivity, and confidentiality
  • Use AI to translate legal language into plain terms and map each party's obligations clearly
  • Compare contract versions and drafts to identify changes, deviations, and leverage points
  • Build a structured negotiation position directly from contract analysis
  • Apply the AI Safety Checklist to contract data before any AI interaction, protecting confidentiality
