Contract redlining
Surface inconsistencies, risky phrasing, and cross references before you circulate a redline. DraftLens outputs structured issues; humans decide what to change.

Who this is for
In-house counsel, contract managers, and deal desks preparing drafts for internal approval or external circulation—before the negotiation line hardens.
Problems
Typical review problems
- Obligations scattered across articles and schedules with inconsistent qualifiers.
- Defined terms that drift (capitalization, singular/plural, “including” lists).
- Cross references that silently break when clauses move.
Where AI helps
Where models add leverage
- Structured pass for ambiguity and internal inconsistency as a triage layer.
- Highlighting risky phrasing candidates for human prioritization—not automatic rewrites.
Human judgment
What humans still decide
- Business tradeoffs, liability caps, and fallback positions.
- What becomes a redline to the counterparty—DraftLens outputs are inputs to that decision.
