## Reminder guidance for this contract type

### Obligations are the contract work most people don't track

Renewal dates get attention because they're singular and consequential. Obligations get less attention because they're plural and quiet. A contract typically contains a dozen or more obligations — quarterly reports, annual certificates, audit responses, compliance attestations, performance reviews — each with its own owner and cadence. None of them individually look critical, but missed obligations stack up: lost service credits, voided warranties, breach claims, audit findings. Treating obligations as a separate workstream from dates is the only way to keep them visible.

### Why obligation owners drift over time

When a contract is signed, the obligation owners are usually clear. Two years later, half of them have changed roles or left. The obligation hasn't moved with them; it just keeps firing into a stale calendar. The fix isn't to re-read every contract every year — it's to surface the obligations at predictable intervals with a 'is this still you?' check. Useful obligation reminder tooling routes each obligation to a named role rather than a named person, so when the person changes, the workflow doesn't break.

## Quick answers

Short answers to the questions we get most about reminder extraction.

- **Q:** How does the contract obligation reminder tool work?
  **A:** Upload your contract as a PDF or DOCX. We run an AI extraction on the document, find the reporting obligations, certificate requirements, approval deadlines, and recurring compliance tasks, and suggest reminder dates for each. You can then start a free Contracko trial to track everything automatically with email reminders, or just note the dates yourself.

- **Q:** What will the tool find in my contract?
  **A:** It surfaces the reporting obligations, certificate requirements, approval deadlines, and recurring compliance tasks. Each item comes with the source clause from your contract so you can verify before you schedule anything.

- **Q:** What happens after the extraction?
  **A:** You'll see a list of suggested reminders pulled from your contract, each anchored to the clause it came from. From there you can start a free Contracko trial to track them automatically with email alerts and owner assignments, or just note the dates yourself if that's all you need.

- **Q:** How accurate is the AI extraction?
  **A:** Every suggested reminder is anchored to the specific clause it came from, so you can verify each one before scheduling. The extraction works best on standard business contracts. Recurring obligations (quarterly reports, annual certifications) may not have a single date — confirm the cadence and assign an owner for each.

- **Q:** What happens to my contract after I upload it?
  **A:** Your contract is transmitted over TLS encryption and processed by AI providers under terms that exclude training on your data. If you start a Contracko trial, the file moves into your private workspace and stays there.
