After completing your playbook-based review and redlines, there may be document sections that weren’t flagged for changes. Use Chamelio’s Agent for a secondary review of these un-redlined sections to ensure nothing slips through the cracks.
Even sections that initially seem fine can contain hidden risks or opportunities for improvement. A sanity check provides crucial additional coverage.

​
When to use sanity checks

Use this feature when:
  • You’ve completed your primary playbook-based review
  • Some document sections received no redlines or comments
  • You want to ensure comprehensive coverage of the entire document
  • Time permits for an additional layer of due diligence

What the Agent looks for

During a sanity check, the Agent can flag:

Hidden risks

Subtle language that could create unexpected liabilities

Inconsistencies

Conflicts between different sections of the document

Missing protections

Standard safeguards that should be included but are absent

Ambiguous terms

Language that could be interpreted multiple ways

​
Common discoveries

​
Benefits of secondary review

Comprehensive coverage

Ensure no section goes unexamined

Fresh perspective

Catch issues missed in the initial review

Risk mitigation

Identify potential problems before signing

​
Best practices

Focus sanity checks on sections with standard or boilerplate language, as these often contain hidden risks that get overlooked.
  • Prioritize high-risk sections - Start with termination, liability, and indemnification clauses
  • Check cross-references - Ensure defined terms are used consistently throughout
  • Review standard language - Don’t assume boilerplate clauses are always favorable
  • Consider business context - Think about how un-redlined sections interact with your specific deal
