The review engine, clause by clause

Eight capabilities that together replace the first pass of a contract review. Each one is auditable: you can always see which clause produced a finding and which rule it was measured against.

01 — Intake

Clause detection and document structure

Clauzy rebuilds the instrument before it reads it: numbering hierarchy, sub-clauses, schedules, annexes, order forms and incorporated policies.

Layout-aware OCR for scanned and photographed executions
Defined-term graph, including terms defined only in a schedule
Broken cross-reference detection (“as set out in clause 14.3” where 14.3 does not exist)
62 recognised clause types across commercial, data and employment agreements

02 — Judgement

Risk scoring against your standard

Every clause receives a severity, a rationale and a rule citation. Severity reflects your tolerance, not a generic market view.

Three-tier ladder: blocking, negotiable, drafting hygiene
Value- and region-conditional rules (a €5k renewal is not scored like a €5m MSA)
Missing-clause detection: what a contract of this type should contain and does not
Document-level risk score with the arithmetic shown

03 — Output

Redline suggestions in your drafting voice

Suggestions are replacement clause text, not advice to “consider negotiating”. They are written to match the register of your own precedents.

Native Word tracked changes with attributed comments
Preferred, fallback and walk-away wording offered per clause
Style learned from your executed precedent set, not a template library
Clean and marked-up versions exported together

04 — Governance

Playbook enforcement

The playbook is a living document with an owner, a version and a history. Rules can be authored in plain language and tested against past deals.

Plain-language rule authoring with an immediate dry-run against signed contracts
Separate playbooks per entity, region, counterparty tier or contract family
Override analytics: which rules your team overrules, and how often
Versioned rule history with author and effective date

05 — Iteration

Version comparison across negotiation rounds

Round four is where obligations quietly change. Clauzy compares by clause meaning rather than by character diff.

Semantic clause diff that ignores renumbering and reformatting
Alerts when an accepted position is silently reverted
Definition drift tracking across versions
Full negotiation timeline per document

06 — Workflow

Approval routing

Blocking findings route to the person who owns that risk, with the clause, the rule and the proposed wording attached.

Conditional routing by clause type, deviation severity and contract value
Slack and email approvals with a full decision record
Standing delegations and out-of-office fallbacks
Exportable audit trail per document

07 — Obligations

Post-signature obligation extraction

The review does not end at signature. Clauzy extracts what was actually committed to and when it falls due.

Renewal, notice and price-review dates with owner assignment
Service levels, reporting duties and audit windows captured as dated items
Calendar and ticketing export
Portfolio view of upcoming auto-renewals

08 — Assurance

Security and data handling

Contracts are among the most sensitive documents a company holds, so the default posture is retention-averse.

EU-hosted processing with a zero-retention model agreement
Customer documents never used as training data
Configurable retention from 24 hours to 7 years, with hard deletion
SSO, SCIM provisioning and role-scoped access to matters
