Contract Review
Upload a subcontract or GC contract. The AI reviews every clause, flags risky terms, compares against standard clauses, and produces a risk score with a redline-ready summary.
What it does
Contract Review reads the full contract, extracts every material clause (LDs, indemnification, insurance limits, warranty, pay-if-paid, termination, change-order process, dispute resolution, etc.), and flags each one as OK, risk, or critical. It also detects missing standard clauses — things that should normally be there but aren't (e.g., no force majeure, no waiver of consequential damages).
The engine is role-aware: a clause that protects a GC may be the same clause that harms a sub. Set your role (GC / Sub / Material Supplier) before running so the flags reflect your side of the table.
When to use it
- You're about to sign a contract and want a second pair of eyes on the risky bits.
- You need a documented clause-by-clause review for your risk register.
- You want a 2-page summary for a PM or owner who isn't going to read 40 pages.
What to upload
One contract document. Supported: PDF (best), DOCX. Plain text works but loses formatting context. Contracts up to ~60,000 words analyze cleanly; longer ones trigger the partial-analysis truncation banner — split by section if needed.
Step by step
Open the engine + set role
Sidebar → Engines → Contract Review. Set your role before uploading — GC, Sub, or Material Supplier.
Upload the contract
One document. Multi-page contracts are expected.
Run analysis
30–90 seconds — contracts are the longest-prompt engine.
Check the risk score
Top of the result: overall risk rating (low / medium / high / critical) and a 0–100 risk score.
Review flagged clauses
Filter the clause table by risk level. Each flagged clause has its text, the risk note, and a recommended redline.
Check missing clauses
Below the main table — standard clauses this contract should have but doesn't.
Accept risks / annotate / export
For each flagged clause: click Accept risk (keep as-is and note who accepted), or add an annotation for your lawyer. Export PDF when you're done.
Chain forward
Chain to PM Contract Summary for a 2-page brief, or PM Handoff for a full handoff bundle. Chain to COI Tracker to verify insurance against what this contract requires.
Understanding the results
Overall risk rating + 0–100 score + risk breakdown (# critical / # risk / # OK).
Reminds you which perspective the analysis was run from.
Every material clause extracted: text, clause ID, risk level (pill), and a short note. Click any row to see the full clause excerpt and the recommended redline.
Standard clauses that aren't present. Each can be marked Will address or N/A so you have a clean closeout record.
If the contract exceeded the model's context window, shown as an amber banner — the analysis is partial; split by section for full coverage.

Troubleshooting
Split by section: General Conditions separately, Scope separately, Supplementary Conditions separately. Run each as its own review, then reconcile.
Check the role setting. A neutral-to-GC clause can look risk-level-critical from a Sub perspective.
OCR is applied but scanned contracts are noisier. Upload the original Word or digital PDF if you have it.
Use the chat: "Clause 14.3 is standard in our market — re-evaluate." The engine respects expert context from chat.
Contract Review is an analytical aid. It flags risks a human reviewer would probably catch, but it doesn't replace a lawyer's review. Always have significant contracts reviewed by counsel before signing.
