Definition

What is contract review software?

Contract review software reads a draft agreement clause by clause, compares it with the company playbook of approved positions, and flags clauses that are missing, narrowed or reworded, so reviewers spend their time on judgment rather than first reads.

In Contractflow, Aavenir AI scores each deviation by risk, explains it, and proposes fallback language from your playbook. Critical clauses go to legal, lower risk deviations can be resolved by the business, and every suggestion waits for a person to approve it.

  • Avy compares every clause with your written playbook
  • Deviations are scored by risk and explained in plain language
  • Critical clauses escalate to legal, lower risk ones stay with the business
  • Works on your own paper and on third party paper

How it works

How a review runs on a counterparty draft.

  1. Pick the playbook for the contract type and region Third party paper is read the same way as your own template Review is only as good as the playbook, so write positions and fallbacks down first.

  2. Missing, narrowed and reworded clauses are flagged Each finding gets a risk score and a short explanation Aavenir AI drafts your fallback language for the clause.

  3. Critical clauses escalate to legal Lower risk deviations are resolved by the business owner Accepted fallbacks open in Microsoft Word for redlining, and the decision is logged.

What AI review does well

Let Aavenir AI read. Let legal decide.

AI is strongest when it matches a document against something you wrote down. These are the jobs it takes off the reviewer.

First pass reads

Reviewers start from a list of findings instead of page one.

Third party paper

A Southeast Asian bank, where most contracts are third party paper, reported 42% reduced contract risk on Contractflow.

Ask the contract

Ask whether either side can terminate early, and get the clause back.

Audit history

Each AI finding and each human decision sit on the same record.

What matters Aavenir Standalone contract lifecycle management tools Shared drives, email and spreadsheets
Where it runs Native on ServiceNow, or deployed standalone Their own platform, connected to other systems by integration Wherever the file was last saved
One record across the lifecycle Sourcing, contract, obligations and invoices on one record Usually the contract stage, other stages through partners No record, only files and threads
AI at each stage Aavenir AI extracts terms, reviews against your playbook and tracks obligations, and a person approves Varies by product, often strongest in review and search None
After signature Obligations assigned, evidence checked, renewals flagged before the notice window Varies by product A calendar reminder, if someone set one
Where others can be stronger Configured to your workflow, one module or the whole suite Often a quick start for a single legal team Free and familiar, until volume grows

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Common questions

What is AI contract review?

AI contract review compares each clause of a draft with your playbook, flags the ones that depart from it, scores the risk and suggests your standard or fallback language. It finds the difference quickly. Whether the difference is acceptable for this deal stays a legal decision. Meet Avy.

Can AI review third party paper?

Yes. Aavenir AI reads a counterparty draft the same way it reads your own template, clause by clause against the playbook you choose. Expect closer review on scanned copies and on clauses split across schedules. See contract redlining.

Who approves the changes Aavenir AI suggests?

A person, every time. Critical clauses go to legal, and lower risk deviations can be resolved by the business owner under rules legal sets. Each AI finding and each human decision are logged on the contract record. See Contractflow.
