The general review examines multiple aspects of your document:

Customizing your review

While no playbook is required, you can guide the AI’s focus:

Priority areas

“Focus on liability and indemnification clauses”

Specific concerns

“Pay special attention to data privacy requirements”

Deal context

“This is a high-value, long-term partnership agreement”

Risk tolerance

“We prefer conservative positions on IP ownership”

Understanding recommendations

Each recommendation includes:
  • Specific issue identified - Clear description of the problem or opportunity
  • Business impact - Explanation of why this matters to your organization
  • Legal reasoning - The legal principle or risk behind the recommendation
  • Suggested action - Specific language or approach to address the issue
  • Priority level - Indication of how critical this issue is to resolve

Consistency

Thoroughness

When to use general review

General review is perfect for one-off contracts, unfamiliar document types, or when you need quick analysis without custom playbook setup.
Ideal scenarios:
  • New contract types you haven’t seen before
  • Quick analysis of counterparty paper
  • Documents that don’t fit your standard playbooks
  • Initial review before detailed negotiation
  • Due diligence on acquisition documents
Consider playbooks when:
  • You have standardized processes for common contract types
  • You want to enforce specific organizational policies
  • You need consistent approaches across multiple similar deals

Advanced features

The general review can also:
  • Cross-reference definitions - Ensure terms are used consistently throughout the document
  • Identify contradictions - Flag conflicts between different sections
  • Suggest alternatives - Provide multiple options for addressing identified issues
  • Benchmark against standards - Compare terms to market norms and best practices
