Standards that, until now, only lived in people's heads
"We don't accept a liability cap below X, and we never negotiate a notice period under three months." Almost every firm has rules like these — but they're rarely written down anywhere, let alone checked systematically. New colleagues pick them up by word of mouth, and with a lengthy incoming contract there's often no time to hold every clause up against your own standard.
How a firm playbook comes together
You upload documents that reflect your preferred positions — past contracts, internal guidelines, model clauses. From these, the system distils a structured catalogue: topic, preferred position, acceptable fallback position, red line. You can view and edit this catalogue at any time — the playbook belongs to you, not to the AI.
The real payoff: checking documents from the other side
When a draft contract comes in from the other side, you test it against your playbook. The result shows you, clause by clause, whether it matches your standard, deviates to the fallback position, or touches a red line — with the exact location in the document, not a vague overall verdict.
Deliberately started small
This first stage covers exactly one path: document upload, one playbook per firm. We chose not to launch straight into an AI interview for capturing standards or multiple parallel playbooks — better a small, reliable foundation we can extend with real feedback from firms than a large feature with unclear first-use value. Multiple playbooks per practice area and a conversation-based capture route are on our list for the next stage.
Good to know
A playbook is a firm-owned tool — it checks against the standards you've recorded yourself, not against an external compliance requirement such as the GDPR or the AI Act. We address those statutory obligations elsewhere, for example in the risk detection built into document analysis.
