AI contract analysis
Contracko's AI analyzes your contracts to identify risks, obligations, gaps, and deviations from standard norms. This goes beyond data extraction to help you understand what you've signed and where problems might exist.
What AI analysis identifies
When you upload a contract, the AI examines it for:
Risk identification Missing termination clauses, liability gaps, unfavorable terms, and compliance red flags that could cause problems later.
Dated obligations Commitments tied to specific dates or recurring schedules. The AI tracks what needs to happen and when.
Trigger deadlines Conditional obligations that activate based on events. For example: invoice date triggers a 15-day payment deadline.
General obligations What you and your counterparty must do under the contract, separate from warranties and guarantees.
Risk allocation How risk is shifted, capped, or limited between parties. The AI flags unusual liability arrangements.
Gaps and ambiguities Critical clauses that are missing or unclear. These often become problems during disputes or when circumstances change.
Deviations from standard norms Unusual terms that differ from typical contracts in your industry. The AI compares against common practices and highlights anomalies.
Severity badges Each finding includes a severity indicator (low, medium, high) so you can prioritize what matters most.
How to access AI analysis
- Upload or select a contract in Contracko
- Open the contract viewer or editor
- Click the AI Analysis tab
The analysis appears alongside your contract, organized into sections for each category.
When analysis updates
AI analysis regenerates automatically whenever you:
- Upload a new version of the contract
- Trigger AI extraction manually
- Replace the primary document
Your analysis stays current as contracts evolve.
Privacy and data handling
No model training happens on your data. Your contracts remain confidential and are processed according to our SOC 2 and GDPR compliance standards.
What this helps you avoid
Missed termination windows Contracts often require 30, 60, or 90-day notice before you can terminate. Missing these windows can lock you into another year of unwanted service.
Hidden liability exposure Uncapped liability or missing indemnification clauses can expose your business to significant financial risk.
Unfavorable terms you didn't catch Reading every contract thoroughly is time-consuming. The AI spots problematic clauses you might have missed during review.
Compliance gaps Missing required clauses (force majeure, data protection, IP ownership) can create legal problems later.
Tips
Review high-severity findings first Focus on items marked high severity. These represent the most significant risks or gaps in your contract.
Compare similar contracts If you manage multiple contracts with the same counterparty, compare AI analysis across them to spot inconsistencies in terms.
Use before signing Run AI analysis on contracts before you sign them, not after. You have more negotiating power before signing.
Flag deviations for legal review When AI identifies deviations from standard norms, have your legal team review those sections to understand if they're acceptable for your situation.
The AI analysis feature is included in all Contracko plans. No additional cost or usage limits.
