AI Contract Review Platform
Client Background
A European electronics manufacturer with multi-site supply chains. Its in-house legal team reviews hundreds of supplier contracts each quarter, under strict GDPR constraints.
The Challenge: Manual, Slow & Risk-Prone
The client faced several critical issues:
- Slow Approval Cycles: 6–10 business-day approval cycles stalled production starts.
- Human Error: Fatigue led to red-line misses and inconsistent clauses.
- Project Delays: Delays triggered late-delivery penalties, impacting the bottom line.
Our Solution: Secure AI Contract Comparison
We developed a browser application that uploads two PDFs and returns a color-coded diff, significantly streamlining the contract review process. Key features include:
- Highlighting: 6–Clearly identifies Conflict / Ambiguity / Match areas.
- Human Error: Fatigue led to red-line misses and inconsistent clauses.
- Project Delays: Delays triggered late-delivery penalties, impacting the bottom line.
AI Architecture & Fine-Tuning Path
Our AI architecture splits contracts into logical chunks stored in a vector database. Only the most relevant clauses reach the LLM, keeping prompts short and data secured within the client's infrastructure. The next step involves fine-tuning Mistral on the client’s prior agreements for even sharper clause recognition.
