Step map
Instead of relying on a single generic AI model, this pipeline connects specialized tools to maximize quality. First, you'll use DocuSign to all incoming contracts are automatically captured, classified, and queued for review without manual effort. Then, you pass the output to Loio to document is fully digitized, structurally mapped, and any data quality issues are surfaced for correction. Then, you pass the output to Kira to all critical metadata is extracted, validated, and stored in a structured format for downstream review. Then, you pass the output to Luminance to every clause is assessed for risk, with flagged issues and recommended edits ready for legal counsel review. Then, you pass the output to Harvey to all high-risk clauses are validated or refuted by current legal precedent, providing a defensible basis for negotiation or acceptance. Finally, DocuSign is used to a complete, actionable contract review package is delivered, enabling informed decision-making and negotiation.
