The problem

Third-party paper waits in a queue for a first read

Your playbook already says which positions you accept and where you give ground. The counterparty's contract arrives on their own form, and a lawyer reads it clause by clause to find the few terms that matter.

Standard contracts sit in the same queue as risky ones, so the business waits for a signature and counsel spends the day on terms the playbook already settles.

Unstract reads each contract as it arrives, compares every term with your playbook and earlier agreements with the same party, and sends only the deviations to a lawyer.

How it works

From the legal inbox to your CLM, without the keying

Five steps, run on their own for every contract. Parsing by LLMWhisperer, extraction by Document Studio, the whole run by Flow.

1 · Contract intake

Pick up third-party paper wherever it lands

Counterparty contracts arrive in the legal inbox and through the contract request form: NDAs, MSAs with their SOWs, order forms, vendor and customer agreements, and redlined drafts from the other side. Each one is picked up where it arrives and tied to its counterparty and to earlier agreements with the same party, one record per contract.

Nobody has to forward a contract to legal and wait for someone to notice it.

2 · Read and extract

Read every contract, then pull the terms that matter

LLMWhisperer reads each contract as text with its layout kept, so a clause stays under its number and a fee table stays a table, even on a signed scan. Document Studio then extracts the terms you defined: parties, effective date, term and renewal, payment terms, liability cap, indemnities, governing law, termination and data protection terms, each with the clause and page it came from.

The same term definitions run on every counterparty's form, whatever clause number they use.

3 · Check against your playbook

Check every term against your playbook before anyone reads it

Each extracted term is compared with the standard position and the fallback in the playbook you write, and with earlier agreements with the same party. A term outside the playbook is flagged with the clause text beside your standard position. Unstract does not decide whether a clause is acceptable and gives no legal advice: counsel or the contract manager makes that call.

Set the stopping points once (any term outside the playbook, an uncapped liability, an unusual governing law) and only those contracts wait for a person.

4 · Route by risk

Send each deviation to the lawyer who owns it

Contracts within the playbook move on for signature under the approval rules you set. A contract with a deviation goes to the right reviewer by contract type and value: a contract manager below your threshold, counsel above it. Unstract does not negotiate or redline on its own; the reviewer decides what to send back to the other side.

Counsel spends the day on the clauses outside the playbook, not on NDAs that match it.

5 · Record the terms

Record the terms where legal already works

Key terms, dates and obligations go to your contract repository or CLM, such as Ironclad or Docusign CLM, with renewal and notice dates tracked. Approved contracts are handed off for signature in e-signature tools such as Docusign or Adobe Acrobat Sign, and every decision a person made is recorded against the contract.

Nobody rekeys a signed contract into a tracker, and the notice date is on the calendar before it opens.

Getting live

Live on one contract type first

No developers on your side and no change to how your lawyers sign off. The review runs on your own playbook and contracts and proves itself on one contract type before it takes on more.

01

Book a consultation

We go through your playbook and a few recent contracts together: which terms you check, where you accept a fallback, and who approves what.

02

Built on your playbook and contracts

The terms, the standard positions and fallbacks, the approval rules and the connection to your contract repository or CLM are set up on your own paper, not samples.

03

Pilot on NDAs, then roll out

One contract type, often NDAs, runs live first. When counsel trusts the flags, MSAs, SOWs and vendor agreements follow with their own playbook positions.

Who it's for

Built for the people who sign off on third-party paper

In-house legal teams

AI contract review software that clears standard paper on its own and puts only the clauses outside the playbook in front of counsel.

Legal operations teams

One playbook applied the same way to every contract, with each deviation and each decision recorded for reporting.

Procurement and contract managers

Vendor agreements checked for payment terms, liability and data protection before signature, approved under the thresholds you set.

Law firms and paralegals

A first pass on client contracts against the client's own playbook, the clause text beside each standard position, ready for a lawyer.

Outcomes

Standard contracts signed sooner, deviations in front of counsel

<3 minfrom a third-party contract to a full playbook check
91%of contract terms checked against the playbook with nobody keying them
54%fewer hours spent on first-pass contract review
2×faster from contract received to signature
We were spending hours manually correcting data from invoices and contracts, but Unstract has automated 90% of that workflow. It effectively handles complex tables and messy PDFs that other tools failed to process.

Their terms and your playbook stay private

Third-party paper carries the counterparty's pricing, the liability each side agreed to carry and terms both sides promised to keep confidential. Your playbook sits beside it and shows exactly where your team will give ground.

FAQs

What legal teams ask before they automate review

In three steps. LLMWhisperer reads the contract with its clause numbers in place, Document Studio extracts the terms you defined with the clause and page for each, and Flow compares each term with your playbook's standard position and fallback. A term outside the playbook is flagged with the clause text beside your standard, ready for a lawyer.

Part of it is. The repeatable work fits well: reading the contract, comparing each term with a playbook you wrote, and routing deviations by contract type and value. The interpretation stays with your lawyers. Unstract gives no legal advice and does not decide whether a clause is acceptable.

By comparing each extracted term with a written standard. You record the standard position and fallback for each term in your playbook, and every contract is checked against it and against earlier agreements with the same party. A 15-day notice period where you expect 60, or a liability clause with no cap, is flagged with the clause beside it.

Every term as a structured field, the clause text and page it came from, and a comparison with your own standards rather than a generic risk score. That is the difference between AI contract analysis a lawyer can check in seconds and a summary they have to verify against the whole contract.

Flow sends the key terms, dates and obligations to your contract repository or CLM, such as Ironclad or Docusign CLM, and hands approved contracts off for signature in tools such as Docusign or Adobe Acrobat Sign. Renewal and notice dates are tracked from the moment the contract is recorded.

No. Unstract shows which terms fall outside your playbook and what your standard position and fallback are. Counsel or the contract manager decides what to accept, what to redline and what to send back to the other side, and each decision is recorded against the contract.

For each term you track, your standard position and the fallback you will accept, plus the approval thresholds by contract type and value and the conditions that always stop a contract, such as an uncapped liability or an unusual governing law. Unstract applies what you wrote and nothing else.

Unstract is SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR and HIPAA compliant. Contracts and playbooks are encrypted in transit and at rest, never used to train models, and deleted on the retention schedule you set. Legal teams and law firms can run it self-hosted; the Trust Center lists the controls in detail.

Most teams start with NDAs. In a consultation we set up the review on your playbook, your approval rules and your contract repository or CLM, run it on live contracts, and add MSAs, SOWs and vendor agreements once counsel trusts the flags. No developers are needed on your side.

Next step
