Step 1
Document Ingestion & OCR
Upload contract documents (PDFs, Word files) into a legal AI platform. The platform uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to digitize scanned documents, making the text searchable and analyzable.
Input: Contract files in PDF, DOCX, or scanned image format.
Output: A digitized, machine-readable contract text within the AI platform.

Step 2
Key Clause & Data Extraction
The AI automatically identifies and extracts critical clauses, terms, and data points, such as renewal dates, liability limits, governing law, and payment terms. This data is structured for easy review.
Input: Digitized contract text.
Output: A structured summary of key clauses and data points, often in a dashboard view.

Step 3
Risk Analysis & Compliance Check
The AI analyzes the extracted clauses against predefined legal playbooks or standard contract positions to flag non-standard language, potential risks, or missing clauses. It highlights deviations that require human attention.
Input: Extracted contract data and the firm's legal playbook/standards.
Output: A risk report highlighting deviations, ambiguities, and potential legal issues.

A lawyer reviews the AI-generated risk report and the flagged clauses. They use the AI assistant to ask clarifying questions, get suggestions for alternative language, and draft redlines directly within the platform.
Input: The AI-generated risk report and the full contract text.
Output: A redlined version of the contract with proposed changes and comments.
