📊 Playbook Summary

The very top of your playbook results is a visual dashboard showing a snapshot of the status of your checks. Below the dashboard, GC AI provides you with a summary of the contract review with the following sections:
SectionWhat the Section Describes
Key FindingsHigh-level overview of provisions that need your attention - typically items requiring review rather than provisions already aligned with your playbook.
Other Issues IdentifiedProvisions in the contract that your playbook doesn’t cover. Consider updating your playbook to address these in the future.
Escalations NeededTerms requiring further approval based on your playbook’s escalation rules (e.g., provisions that need General Counsel sign-off).
Immediate Action Items & Next StepsSpecific actions you may need to take before proceeding.

🔍 Smart Checks

Smart Checks are provisions detected in the document you are reviewing that aren’t covered by your playbook. They help identify unexpected clauses or counterparty additions.
To save a Smart Check to your playbook for future reviews, click the “Save Check” button. This allows you to build out your playbook over time based on issues you encounter during contract review.

🏷️ Understanding Output Categories

Each check that GC AI analyzes is categorized as one of the following:
CategoryMeaning
PassThe substance of the provision matches your preferred position.
FallbackThe provision is acceptable under certain conditions you’ve defined.
FlagThe provision conflicts with your playbook, is misaligned with your position, or is missing required information.

🤖 Reading the AI’s Analysis

For each check in your playbook, GC AI provides you with:
  • The check category (Pass, Fallback, or Flag)
  • An analysis of why the check was categorized that way
  • Suggested redlines (if needed) to amend the contract to reflect your playbook’s position
  • You can also click “View Check” to see more detail about the check in your playbook
