AI Contract Analyzer

Executive summary

A tool that reads contracts the way an experienced reviewer would: it extracts parties, dates, obligations, and financial terms, then compares each clause against your negotiation playbook and flags deviations, missing protections, and unusual language — with citations. Reviewers focus their judgment on what actually matters instead of reading every line.

Business problem

Manual contract review is slow, expensive, and uneven. Key dates and obligations get missed, risky clauses slip through under deadline pressure, and there is no consistent record of how a given contract compares to the company's standard positions.

Data flow

1. 1

   A contract is uploaded, stored encrypted in S3, and parsed by Textract into structured clauses.

2. 2

   Bedrock classifies clauses and, against your playbook rules, flags deviations, risky terms, and missing protections.

3. 3

   Extracted terms, obligations, and flags are stored in DynamoDB with citations to the source text.

4. 4

   Key dates feed EventBridge, which schedules renewal and obligation reminders into calendars or a CLM.

5. 5

   The reviewer receives a marked-up summary and works only the exceptions.

Security considerations

• Contracts encrypted at rest and in transit; access restricted and logged.
• Every flag cites the exact clause — reviewers verify, the tool never auto-signs.
• Least-privilege IAM; CLM and calendar credentials in Secrets Manager.
• Retention and deletion policies aligned to matter and client requirements.

Cost considerations

• Textract (per page) and Bedrock (per contract) are the main variable costs.
• S3 and DynamoDB are inexpensive at rest with lifecycle tiering.
• Batch processing amortizes cost across large document sets.

Scalability

• Serverless throughout; handles bulk uploads and due-diligence surges.
• New contract types and playbooks are configuration, not code.
• Multi-language and jurisdiction support extend via prompt and rule packs.

Deployment roadmap

Future enhancements

• Redline suggestions drafted against the playbook.
• Obligation tracking dashboard across the active portfolio.
• Cross-contract analytics to spot systemic risk.
• Integration with e-signature and approval workflows.
