Overview

Every clause examined. Every risk surfaced.

Clause Labs's risk analysis engine reads your contract clause by clause, classifying each finding into one of five severity levels: Critical, High, Medium, Low, and Informational. Unlike generic summarizers, our AI is trained specifically on legal contract patterns — it understands indemnification asymmetry, liability cap gaps, termination traps, and dozens of other risk categories that matter to practicing lawyers.

  • Five-level severity scoring: Critical, High, Medium, Low, Informational
  • Clause-by-clause findings with exact text references and page citations
  • Risk heatmap showing concentration of issues across contract sections
  • Plain-language explanations that non-lawyers can understand
  • Severity breakdown dashboard showing overall contract health
  • Export findings to PDF or DOCX for client reporting

How It Works

4 simple steps

1

Upload your contract

Drag and drop a PDF or DOCX file. Our OCR engine handles scanned documents, multi-column layouts, and handwritten annotations. Files up to 100 pages are processed instantly.

2

Select a playbook

Choose from pre-built playbooks (NDA, MSA, Employment, SaaS, Real Estate, Consulting, Partnership) or use your own custom rules. The playbook tells the AI what risk patterns to prioritize.

3

AI analyzes every clause

Our engine reads the entire contract, identifies each clause, classifies its risk level, and generates a detailed finding with plain-language explanation and recommended action.

4

Review prioritized findings

Findings are sorted by severity so you see critical issues first. Each finding links back to the exact contract text, and you can accept, dismiss, or annotate findings as you review.

Benefits

Why AI Risk Analysis

60-second analysis

Full risk assessment in under a minute. Review contracts 10x faster than manual methods — without missing the clauses that matter.

Risk heatmap

Visual risk distribution across contract sections. Instantly see where problems cluster so you can focus your attention efficiently.

Nothing hidden

Every finding includes the exact clause text, page number, and a plain-language explanation. Full transparency — no black-box scoring.

Legal-grade accuracy

Trained on real contract review patterns, not generic summarization. Understands indemnification asymmetry, liability gaps, and jurisdiction-specific risks.

Exportable reports

Generate client-ready PDF or DOCX risk reports with your firm's branding. Share findings with stakeholders who don't use Clause Labs.

Configurable sensitivity

Adjust risk thresholds per playbook. What's critical for an NDA might be informational for an MSA — configure the AI to match your practice area.

Use Cases

Built for how you work

Solo Practitioner

A solo lawyer receives a 40-page vendor agreement with a 24-hour turnaround. Instead of reading every clause, they upload to Clause Labs and get prioritized findings in 45 seconds.

Outcome

Identifies 3 critical issues in the indemnification and liability sections. Drafts a redline response in under 2 hours instead of a full day.

In-House Counsel

An in-house team receives 15 NDAs per week from sales. Each needs review before the deal moves forward. Manual review creates a bottleneck.

Outcome

Batch-processes all NDAs with the NDA playbook. 80% pass with low risk and are auto-approved. Team focuses on the 20% that need human attention.

Legal Operations Manager

A legal ops manager needs to audit 200 existing contracts for non-standard liability provisions before a company acquisition.

Outcome

Uploads all contracts via batch review. Generates a risk matrix showing which contracts have critical liability issues, enabling targeted renegotiation.

Platform Integration

Works with everything else

AI Risk Analysis works with every other Clause Labs feature. Findings feed directly into Smart Suggestions for automated fix recommendations. Playbooks control which risk patterns are prioritized. Batch Review lets you run risk analysis across multiple contracts simultaneously. Obligation Tracking pulls key dates from findings. Clause Library lets you save preferred replacement language for common risk patterns.
