First-pass commercial review

— USE CASES
Triage an inbound contract to red, amber and green before legal time is spent on the clauses that matter.
Grade every contract against the same saved standard so positions do not soften deal by deal.
Review a steady flow of NDAs, MSAs or supplier terms without the standard drifting.
— HOW IT BEHAVES
The mechanics behind this specific template — what it reads, what it calculates, and where a human stays in the loop.
Each clause is measured against a calibrated standard you own, so the bar for the contract portfolio stays identical between runs, assessors and months.
Findings on the contract portfolio are written up as a document that reads like professional output, with each claim tied back to a clause.
Long material is split into individual clauses, so each one is assessed on its own merits instead of buried in a document-level verdict.
Contract review is where hourly cost and inconsistency meet. In practice it shows up as first-pass commercial review: triage an inbound contract to red, amber and green before legal time is spent on the clauses that matter. It is the kind of work that decides whether a recommendation survives scrutiny — and the kind that quietly eats 2–3 hours of senior time whenever it comes round.
As a Skill, the work is already sequenced. You bring the evidence, and the run produces a clause-by-clause red/amber/green grading plus named non-standard or risky terms. The criteria, ordering and review points that make the answer trustworthy are encoded in the Skill itself — which is the difference between a structured method and a prompt someone pastes in. Net effect: 2–3 hours down to ~5 minutes, no drift between runs, and every conclusion traceable back to the evidence behind it.
Contract clause risk review exports as a structured SKILL.md file and is MCP-ready, so the same method runs in ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or your own AI products. Adapt it to your methodology, and the intelligence stays yours — not locked to one vendor.
Reads each contract in your register for renewal dates, notice windows and standing obligations, then returns a timeline and an alert list of everything that must be actioned inside 90 days.
Identifies every material change between two versions of an agreement and reads it commercially — what moved, in whose favour, and what must be accepted, pushed back or escalated before signature.
Grades every clause in an incoming NDA against your saved house positions and returns a single verdict — sign, mark up (with the drafting done) or escalate.
Merges a client brief with the scoping-call transcript to extract scope, deliverables, fees and exclusions, pausing for review before drafting the SOW.
Enriches every row of a contracts export with parties, value, term, renewal basis and governing law, turning a messy list into a queryable contract database with the outliers named.
Compares an executed agreement clause by clause against the approved template, logs each exception with severity and approval status, and flags the deviations that keep recurring.
