Contract review at the speed of decision.

Drop a contract in. Within ninety seconds, every missing clause flagged, every risky term highlighted, every deviation cited.

Senior counsel spend two to four hours per contract doing pattern-matching against a playbook they've internalized. Review automates the pattern-matching so lawyers can focus on judgment. Coverage check, risk findings, executive summary, and a redline-ready Word document โ€” all with full citation back to the source clause and the playbook excerpt that drove the verdict.

"We don't replace your lawyers. We give them the redline on day one instead of week three."

Why this exists

Pattern-matching is what AI does. Judgment is what lawyers do.

Contract review is one of the highest-value, lowest-leverage activities in any legal organization. A senior counsel reviewing a vendor MSA spends two to four hours per document doing pattern-matching against a playbook they've internalized โ€” checking that required clauses are present, flagging non-standard language, writing redline comments. The judgment work โ€” should we accept this risk, is this counterparty worth the deviation, what's the negotiation strategy โ€” is what justifies their salary.

Review automates the pattern-matching so lawyers can spend their hours on judgment. Drop a contract in, get a structured review report ninety seconds later: coverage check against your playbook, risk findings with severity bands, executive summary with overall risk rating. Every finding cites the exact contract clause that triggered it and the playbook excerpt that drove the verdict โ€” full traceability for audit and for the lawyer's own verification.

The output is more than a report. Review generates a redline-ready Word document with tracked changes that can be sent directly to the counterparty. The most tedious step of contract negotiation โ€” typing the same comments you typed last quarter on the same vendor's contract โ€” disappears.

How it works

Drop the contract. Ninety seconds later, you have a redline.

The same four stages every time. Predictable. Auditable. Fast.

STAGE 01
Drop or connect
Drag-drop a contract, or pull from S3, SharePoint, Box, Drive โ€” wherever your active deals live. DocIQ runs OCR if needed, classifies the contract type from 40+ templates, and identifies the counterparty.
40+ contract typesOCR built-in
STAGE 02
Coverage check
Match the contract against your playbook (or one of ours). Every required clause: present, missing, or non-compliant. Every finding cites the exact playbook excerpt that drove the verdict.
Per-clause statusPlaybook-cited
STAGE 03
Risk scan
Surface the things that aren't in your playbook but should worry you. Unusual indemnification, broad IP grants, problematic auto-renewals, jurisdictional traps. Severity-banded with a written explanation.

STAGE 04
Redline export
A Word document with tracked changes โ€” exactly what your counterparty expects. Reviewer can accept, dismiss, or edit each suggested change before export. Full audit trail of every decision.

Key capabilities

Everything contract review actually requires.

๐ŸŽฏ
Coverage check vs playbook
Every required clause in your playbook gets a verdict โ€” present, missing, non-compliant โ€” with citation back to the playbook excerpt and the contract clause.
๐Ÿšจ
Risk scanning
Catches the things not in your playbook that should worry you โ€” unusual liability caps, broad IP grants, evergreen auto-renewals, indemnification asymmetries.
๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ
40+ contract types
MSA, SOW, NDA, MNDA, DPA, vendor agreement, services agreement, license, lease, employment, contractor, distribution, reseller, partnership, settlement โ€” and more.
๐Ÿ“–
Bootstrap a playbook
No formal playbook? Generate one from your historical contract corpus, adopt an industry-standard starter, or run risk-scan-only mode that surfaces concerning patterns without compliance criteria.
๐Ÿง 
Counterparty-specific learning
When the same false positive comes up three contracts in a row from the same counterparty, Review learns. Suppression is per-counterparty, audited, and reversible.
๐Ÿ“‘
Side-by-side comparison
Redline cycles get faster when you can see what changed. Side-by-side diffs of v2 against v1, with each change classified โ€” accepted, modified, ignored.
๐Ÿ“ค
Tracked-changes Word export
A real DOCX with real Track Changes โ€” exactly what your counterparty's lawyer expects to see. Send straight from the review screen, no copy-paste.
๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ
Full lineage audit trail
Every finding records the playbook version, prompt version, model version, reviewer decisions, and reasoning chain. Audits become five-minute exports, not five-week archaeology.
For customers without a documented playbook

No playbook? No problem.

Most legal teams know what they want in a contract โ€” they've just never written it down. Review meets that reality with three modes, any of which gets you to value on day one and steadily sharpens as your team uses it.

PATH A
Bootstrap from your corpus
Point Review at your archive of executed contracts. Pattern detection extracts the standards your team has been applying โ€” surfacing them as a draft playbook your senior counsel can edit and approve.
PATH B
Industry-standard starter
Adopt a vetted starter playbook for your industry โ€” vendor MSA, SaaS subscription, NDA, employment, DPA, and others. Customize over time as your team's actual standards emerge.
PATH C
Risk-scan-only mode
Skip compliance criteria entirely. Run risk scanning alone โ€” flagging patterns known to cause problems regardless of any playbook. Lower friction; faster start; still useful from contract one.

As lawyers actually use the system โ€” accepting findings, dismissing false positives, promoting clauses to the standards library โ€” Review's understanding of your team's actual standards continuously sharpens. The playbook becomes the living artifact of your team's collective judgment.

Built for

Wherever contract volume eats senior time.

๐Ÿ›๏ธ
In-house legal teams
Vendor MSAs, customer agreements, NDAs, DPAs. Senior counsel get to spend their hours on the deals that actually need them, not on the same redlines they wrote last quarter.
โš–๏ธ
Law firm transactional groups
First-pass review for associate-heavy deal teams. Partner gets a structured report and a redline draft instead of a memo summary; associates spend their hours on judgment calls.
๐Ÿ“‹
Contract management organizations
CLM platforms ingest the contracts; Review tells you which ones to look at first. Triage by risk score, not by date received.
๐Ÿ›’
Procurement legal support
Standardized vendor terms get the playbook treatment automatically. Procurement-led negotiations escalate only the deviations that actually need legal eyes.
Cross-industry. Particularly valuable for technology, professional services, financial services, healthcare, and any business with high contract volume.
Why DocIQ Review

Most contract-AI tools read your contracts. Review redlines them.

/ 01
Federated, not vendor-locked
Your contracts live in your CLM, your DMS, your Box, your SharePoint, your Drive. Review connects to all of them at once. No "upload everything to our cloud" demand. No second copy of every contract.
/ 02
Citations, both sides
Every finding cites two things: the contract clause that triggered it, and the playbook excerpt that drove the verdict. Lawyers verify in seconds, not minutes. Auditors get the chain of reasoning automatically.
/ 03
Works with or without a playbook
Three on-ramps โ€” bootstrap from corpus, industry starter, risk-scan-only mode. Most tools require a polished playbook before they do anything useful. Review delivers value on contract one.
/ 04
Output is a redline, not a memo
A real DOCX with real Track Changes. Send it to the counterparty. Most contract-AI products give you a "summary" that you still have to translate into actual contract markup. We skip that step.
/ 05
Counterparty-aware suppression
Acme Corp always has the same liability cap that's outside your standard. Review learns that pattern; reviewers stop seeing the same finding flagged on every Acme contract. Per-counterparty, audited, reversible.
/ 06
Inside your tenant
VPC or air-gapped. Your contracts, your playbook, your encryption keys. Privileged-and-confidential material doesn't leave your perimeter. Same private deployment as a $300B pension fund.

Stop typing the same redline. Start reviewing.

A live demo on a contract you actually care about. Bring your playbook โ€” or use ours.
