The set is enormous
Base agreement, general conditions, exhibits, addenda — hundreds of pages that only make sense read together, often scanned, rotated, or marked up by hand.
Agent · Contract Review
Read every clause. Cite every finding.
Upload the base agreement, the general conditions, the exhibits and the addenda. Get back playbook-scored findings across seven review areas, a summary of the commercial terms, answers to anything you ask, and a redline your team can send — with every flag traced to the clause it came from.
Who it's for
Commercial general contractors who sign real risk.
Firms signing seven-figure agreements — AIA A104, A101, ConsensusDocs, or an owner's own paper — with no in-house legal team and a signing date that never moves. Outside counsel is too slow and too expensive for every contract, so most get a skim.
The agent doesn't replace your lawyer. It makes sure that when a lawyer or a principal does read it, they start from a scored, cited list of what actually matters — instead of page one. Advisory output; a qualified person reviews and approves. Not legal advice.
01
7 review areas
Structure, risk allocation, damages, insurance & bonding, notices, payment & termination, site conditions.
02
Your playbook
Severity scored against your firm's positions, cloneable per client or project — not a vendor's generic ruleset.
03
Full document set
Base agreement plus exhibits and addenda, combined and reviewed together — or one merged PDF.
04
Every flag cited
Page and section on every finding, quoted wherever the clause exists. Un-sourced findings are dropped before the report is assembled.
01 / The friction
The risk is findable. Nobody has time to find it.
The terms that cost you money are rarely hidden. They are standard, boring, and buried on page 140 of a document that has to be signed on Friday.
The traps are standard
A 200% punch-list holdback. A notice clause that voids your claim because you emailed it. Ordinary language, easy to skim past, expensive months later.
No two reads match
Two reviewers flag different things, and nothing records what was checked or cleared. When a claim lands, that record is exactly what you wish you had.
02 / What we built
The model detects. Code scores, verifies, and assembles.
Five stages, and a human at the end of every one.
The language model reads and detects. Everything consequential after that — severity scoring, citation verification, redline assembly — runs as deterministic code, so the same contract produces the same answer twice and every step is inspectable.
STEP 01
Read the contract
Combines the whole set and reads every page — including the ones that defeat plain text extraction.
- Base agreement, general conditions, exhibits and addenda combined and reviewed together
- Per-page routing: clean prose read locally, tables, drawings and redlined pages escalated to vision
- Struck-through text detected deterministically, so a deleted clause is never scored as a live term
STEP 02
Score against your playbook
Sweeps seven review areas and scores each finding against your firm’s positions, not a vendor’s.
- Structure, risk allocation, damages, insurance & bonding, notices, payment & termination, site conditions
- Severity assigned by deterministic code, so two reviewers land on the same answer
- A hard block is raised when a term breaches a position you’ve marked non-negotiable
STEP 03
Verify every citation
The rule the product is built around: no finding ships without its source.
- A verification pass drops any finding that isn’t backed by its source
- The golden-set eval suite runs in CI, so the guarantee can’t silently regress
- Click any finding and the clause it came from highlights in the document beside it
STEP 04
Summarise and answer
The commercial terms pulled out, and a way to interrogate the rest in plain English.
- Contract & fee summary: type, sum, key dates and the material commercial provisions
- Ask the contract anything and get an answer grounded in the text, cited to section and page
- Attach a standard form and ask what’s missing compared to it
STEP 05
Build the redline
Triage each finding, and the agent drafts language your team can put in front of the owner.
- Accept, negotiate or flag for review, with a note that guides the draft
- Only items you mark Ready reach the Word document — your internal notes never do
- Every reviewer decision recorded with who made it and when
03 / The guarantees
Properties of the system, enforced in code and in CI.
What the system guarantees, on every single run.
These are not projections or averages. They are properties the pipeline enforces on every contract, locked in by the evaluation gate so they cannot quietly regress.

04 / Questions
Contract review questions, answered.
What documents does RivetData review?
The full contract set: the base agreement, the general conditions, the exhibits and the addenda, combined and reviewed together, or one merged PDF. That covers AIA A104 and A101, ConsensusDocs, or an owner's own paper. Scanned pages are read too, and struck-through text is detected, so a deleted clause is never scored as a live term.
What does the review check?
Seven review areas on every contract: structure, risk allocation, damages, insurance and bonding, notices, payment and termination, and site conditions. Each finding is scored against your firm's playbook by deterministic code, not by the model's judgement, so two reviewers land on the same answer. A hard block is raised when a term breaches a position you've marked non-negotiable.
Where does each finding come from?
Every finding points to the page and section it came from, with the quoted language wherever the clause exists; a clause that is missing is reported as missing. A verification pass drops any finding that isn't backed by its source before the report is assembled, and clicking a finding highlights the clause in the document beside it.
What do I get back?
Playbook-scored findings across the seven review areas, a contract and fee summary, cited answers to the questions you ask, and a Word redline. You triage each finding (accept, negotiate or flag for review), and only the items you mark Ready reach the document. Your internal notes never do.
Is this legal advice?
No. The output is advisory: a draft that a qualified person reviews and approves. The agent doesn't replace your lawyer. It means that when a lawyer or a principal reads the contract, they start from a scored, cited list of what actually matters instead of page one.
Is my contract used to train AI models?
No. Your contract is never used to train a model.
