Don't Buy CLM. We believe that organizations shouldn't buy a CLM. They cannot maintain it. Manage your contracts like you manage your money at a bank: When you deposit a check at a bank's ATM, you expect the money to appear on your banking app on your phone in seconds. You do not care how the money got to your phone or what the software is called. You only want to manage your financial life. CLMs don't operate like a bank ATM. If banks operated like CLMs, you would have to deposit your check, walk around the other side of the ATM and pull it out of the machine, carry it to the vault, login into another piece of software, enter the check amount, the payor, the payor's address, the payee, the check date, the account number, the routing number, issue and maintain login credentials to the payee, design and organize reports for the payee and the payor, etc. None of those activities are core to running your financial life, just as maintaining a CLM repository is not core to running your business. Organizations should purchase a Contract Administration as a Service (CAAAS) product like LegalSifter Organize Concierge with a data quality guarantee. Let contract administration experts organize signed agreements while you run your business.

Clients and partners may submit enhancement requests through help@legalsifer.com or directly to their assigned Growth team member. Clients and partners may also request new Sifters specifically with our Sifter Ideas form.

Combined Intelligence = artificial + human intelligence. We believe that an algorithm plus a person is stronger than either by itself, so we have designed all of our products based upon a "human-in-the-loop" principle. We do not trust the robots to get it right all the time; they make mistakes. (So do the humans, by the way). We purposefully build our products to incorporate people, accepting that even with the cutting-edge AI used by our products, we will not be able to eliminate humans from the work that we focus on in our business. Thus, we named this concept Combined Intelligence.

Yes, No, and Stop Buying CLMs. 1) Yes. LegalSifter Organize Concierge includes a CLM at no additional cost from one of our CLM partners. 2) No. LegalSifter Review, LegalSifter Review Concierge, LegalSifter Organize, LegalSifter Organize Concierge (when offered on top of a Clients pre-purchased CLM) are complimentary to the CLMs available on the market. 3) Don't Buy CLM. We believe that clients shouldn't buy a CLM. They cannot maintain it. They should purchase a Contract Administration as a Service (CAAAS) product like LegalSifter Organize Concierge with a data quality guarantee. Let contract administration experts organize signed agreements while you run your business.

Clients may integrate these products to contract lifecycle management (CLM) software or other applications through LegalSifter API. LegalSifter Review Concierge and LegalSifter Organize Concierge are services that integrate with any application.

As of May 2022, over 1,850. Our Sifter Library is one of the largest contract algorithm databases in the world.

Clients and partners who want Sifters for concepts uncovered by our Sifter Library may sponsor a Sifter for $2,500.00. We'll build the Sifter immediately, jumping the line in the Sifter Factory. We'll also credit the $2,500.00 Sifter Sponsorship Fee against any current subscriptions fees.

The Sifter Library includes a description of the Sifters that are available to our clients today, with the exception of a detailed list of FAR and DFARS Sifters that cover standard provisions in both the Federal Acquisitions Regulations System (FAR) and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS). The Sifter Library is updated weekly.

Clients and partners may suggest Sifters for our Sifter Library through our Sifter Ideas form or sponsor a Sifter through the Sifter Sponsorship program. We consistently work to accommodate our client and partner requests with new Sifters that meet their needs.

Our Sifters continuously improve with crowdsourced feedback from our clients, partners, and team members. Sifter Trainer is a feature of both LegalSifter Review and LegalSifter Organize for clients, partners, and team members to report Sifter errors. Once our Content Development team confirms the accuracy of a Sifter Trainer report, we will retrain the Sifter that made the error within 5-10 business days and release the improved Sifter back into production.

Yes. We use the most advanced NLP in our Sifters. The technology, among other things, allows our Sifters to read language that they have never seen before. The ability of Sifters to read novel language is critical in contracts, as most agreements have unique phrasing.

Yes. Just like people, our Sifters make errors. Clients and team members report Sifter errors through our Sifter Trainer, a feature of both LegalSifter Review and LegalSifter Organize. Once our Content Development team confirms the accuracy of the report, we will retrain the Sifter that made the error within 5-10 business days and release the improved Sifter back into production.

The Sifter DB is an internal database comprised of the public and private contracts that we have collected over all of our years in business. We are fortunate that nearly 80% of our clients allow us to use their private contracts for research and development purposes confidentially. We chop up the contracts in the Sifter DB into little pieces and use them in the Sifter Factory to create new and improved Sifters.

Access to specific Sifters depends on your subscription: All LegalSifter Review Professional Edition, LegalSifter Organize, and LegalSifter Organize Concierge clients have access to the complete Sifter Library. All LegalSifter Review Essentials Edition, LegalSifter Engine, and LegalSifter API clients have access to the Sifters determined by the terms their subscription.

Yes. Sifters are consistently improved with the help of Sifter Trainer reports and focused research and development efforts from our Data Science and Content Development teams. When we started in 2013, our Sifters were performing at F1 levels around 90%. Now they exceed 97%. We will continue to improve the performance of our Sifters as our user base grows and our technology advances.

We maintain a Sifter Roadmap that determines which Sifters we will build next. We build the Sifter Roadmap based upon the document types that we intend to cover with LegalSifter Review and LegalSifter Organize, Sifters paid for by clients and partners through our Sifter Sponsorship program, and requests from our clients and partners through Sifter Ideas. Any client or partner that has a suggestion for a Sifter may complete a Sifter Ideas form, after which our Content Development team will determine whether we will put it on the Sifter Roadmap within 5-10 business days.

Yes. We use advanced machine learning to keep our Sifters improving.

A Sifter is a piece of software trained to read text and look for a specific concept. It reads novel language, learns from experience, and improves over time. Our Sifters use machine learning and natural language processing, types of AI, along with a number of other advanced search techniques.

We use client and partner contracts to improve the quality of our Sifters for everyone as part of our Sifter Improvement Program. With more clients, partners, and contracts, we make our Sifters more accurate, faster. Essentially, we chop contracts up into little pieces—words, phrases and sentences—and feed them to our algorithms. If you consent, we will use your contracts for Sifter research and development. Under no circumstances will your contracts be disclosed or identifiable to any third party, other than subcontractors involved in Sifter research and development. Without your consent, we will not use your contracts, other than as needed to provide technical support on your account.

On average, our Sifters F1 accuracy score is 95%, with our latest Sifters at 97% or higher. We use Precision, Recall, and F1 to measure the performance of our Sifters. For an in-depth look at these metrics and surrounding concepts, read this nice blog entitled, "4 things you need to know about AI: accuracy, precision, recall and F1 scores," from Lawtomated. A Sifter must hit a minimum precision score of 90%, a minimum recall score of 95%, and a minimum F1 of 93% to be published within our products. The average F1 for all of our Sifters is just above 95% and rising (Sifters improve over time). The Sifters coming out of our Sifter Factory in the last year are starting at 97%+. These F1 scores materially outpace human performance. That doesn't mean that the Sifters are "smarter" then people, but it does mean that a collection of Sifters is more likely to accurately classify and analyze contract concepts then a human.

Each Sifter is built in our Sifter Factory, a team of data scientists and attorneys charged with using some of the most advanced AI in the world to train algorithms that can read a contract. Each Sifter goes through a 9-stage development process involving 1-2 data scientists and 2-3 attorneys. It takes 1-5 weeks for our team to create a Sifter. We release new and improved Sifters every week. Thanks to the generous support of the vast majority of our clients who allow us to confidentially use their agreements to train Sifters, we have built up our Sifter DB with private and public contracts from around the world. For each Sifter, our attorneys and data scientists will find and review hundreds and thousands of phrases and sentences from a cross-section of our Sifter DB. Once we have enough examples of a concept, our data scientists will craft an algorithm until it hits our minimum recall, precision, and F1 quality metrics. When the Sifter meets or exceeds those standards, we release the Sifter to our Sifter Library, LegalSifter Review, LegalSifter Organize, and our clients. Ken Adams, our Chief Content Officer and one of the top contract minds in the world, David Batt, Director of Sifter Operations, and Lars Mahler, our Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer oversee the Sifter Factory.

Yes. LegalSifter includes recommended or sample clauses with each of its Sifters in its out-of-the-box advice and in the Sifter Library.

Yes, if appropriate. Some concepts require different advice based upon your position in the negotiation - buyer vs. supplier, landlord vs. tenant, etc. When the advice diverges, the advice included in LegalSifter Review out of the box varies, as do the Sifter Settings (i.e., the controls over Sifter behavior). Buyers should expect different contract negotiation advice than suppliers. When the advice does not diverge, the advice is the same regardless of your position.

Yes. We have clients around the world using LegalSifter Review on English contracts. Because the advice is configurable in LegalSifter Review Professional, multinational organizations change the advice by jurisdiction - e.g., EU users may receive different advice than South Africa or China on limitation of liability or payment terms. We have trained our Sifters on a cross-section of global English language contracts, so they will do a good job of recognizing novel language in different English dialects.

Yes. The last step in using LegalSifter Review takes the user to Word, Google Docs, or any other word processing application. With LegalSifter API, LegalSifter Review may also integrate into your application or workflow seamlessly.

Built by transportation experts at Transaction Expeditors, subsidiary of full-service law firm, Frost Brown Todd, LLC, the Truckload Transportation package includes Document Types from both parties' perspectives for Broker-Shipper Agreements, Broker-Carrier Agreements, and Shipper-Carrier Agreements.

A Document Type includes a unique bundle of Sifters and Sifter Settings for reviewing a specific type of contract or document (e.g., Consulting Agreement, Software as a Service Agreement, Nondisclosure Agreement, etc.). Professional clients may configure an unlimited number of Document Types for their users on their own. LegalSifter will help Professional clients set up one Document Type; clients may purchase help for additional Document Types. LegalSifter will configure Document Types for Concierge clients as needed. Essentials clients may not configure Document Types.

Any LegalSifter Review user may download a Document Abstract for any sifted Document when reviewing or negotiating an agreement. The Document Abstract instantly summarizes the terms of your contract, with the overlay of any advice available. In just a few seconds, our product generates a report that would take hours to prepare manually.

LegalSifter Review has 6 classic use cases. The most frequently cited use case is when a user must negotiate on the counterparty paper. People find it hard to review another party's paper, particularly when trying to understand risky omissions. LegalSifter Review is invaluable when reading an agreement you have never seen. At times, you have to create a new contract. Double-checking your draft before it goes to the counterparty with LegalSifter Review ensures you do not leave out provisions that protect you. If you send out your agreement, and the counterparty marks it up, LegalSifter Review will help you quickly understand what changed. Double-checking your teammate's draft before it goes to the counterparty or a client is another good use of LegalSifter Review. Buyers who must negotiate on supplier's papers may use LegalSifter Review to conduct the first round of negotiation with the fifth classic use case. The supplier will sift their own paper in a buyer-branded version of LegalSifter Review, filled with negotiating points that the buyer normally shares with the supplier openly. The supplier, who is highly motivated to get the deal done, will do the first redline, saving everyone lots of time and money as they modify their paper for what the buyer expects. The buyer only has to give the supplier a username and password to LegalSifter Review. Finally, when buyers make suppliers negotiate on buyer paper, suppliers often make lots of redlines because (a) they do not agree and (b) they do not understand. Buyers who are used to getting their own paper will save themselves a lot of time by allowing suppliers to sift the buyer paper inside LegalSifter Review. Our product, filled with buyer points of view that the buyer would share normally, will allow the supplier to make redlines with more context concerning the buyer's intent. The extra context helps the supplier make fewer or more acceptable redlines, saving everyone time and money.

Yes. LegalSifter Review, the application itself and not our Sifters, is currently available in the following languages: Standard Chinese (Mandarin) English Croatian Spanish Clients are using these languages when they have to negotiate English contracts with team members for whom English is a second language. Clients turn on the native language (e.g., Croatian) in LegalSifter Review and offer advice in their native language and in English. Note that our Sifters only read English at this time.

Yes. LegalSifter Review has a variety of reports as follows: 1) Sifter Settings (Playbook) Report: Admins may download an organization's playbook at any time. 2) Document Abstract: Any user may download an abstract of any sifted document at any time. 3) All Sifts Report: Admins may download a report of all Sifts across the organization in the All Sifts Report. 4) Sifter Trainer Report: Users and admins may download a report of all individual or organizational Sifter Trainers.

LegalSifter Review includes out-of-the-box advice for all clients. Attorneys with relevant experience within the Document Type write our out-of-the-box advice. For example, see the following: Business Associate Agreement advice was written by Dan Mulholland from Horty Springer, one of the top law health law firms in the United States. Our software advice was built with support from David Tollen, a LegalSifter advisor and author of The Tech Contracts Handbook. Our truckload transportation and brokerage advice was built by Transaction Expeditors, a subsidiary of Frost Brown Todd, one of the top law firms for truckload transportation in the United States. Ken Adams, our Chief Content Officer and the author of A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, manages the advice within LegalSifter Review. He is the leading authority on the building blocks of contract language and has conducted hundreds of Drafting Clearer Contracts training sessions around the world, online, and in-person.

Not today. While LegalSifter Review exports to Microsoft Word and integrates to a Word workflow through either our LegalSifter API or some simple functionality in Word itself, it is not currently offered as a plugin.

Yes. All LegalSifter Review editions allow teammates to review, redline, and comment on the same sifted agreement with our simple sharing feature. Professional edition clients may also setup LegalSifter Review to accommodate collaboration and negotiation with a counterparty.

Yes. If you are a LegalSifter Review Professional edition client, you may configure the advice, Sifters, and Sifter Settings for your organization. Configuration is a no-code process accomplished with anyone who is competent with both contract provisions and your organization's negotiation strategies. LegalSifter Review Essentials edition clients use the product out of the box and are unable to configure the advice, Sifters, or Sifter Settings.

LegalSifter Review Essentials edition clients: Advice improvements to our out-of-the-box Document Types happen automatically. LegalSifter Review Professional edition clients: We recommend one of the following strategies: Spend 1-4 hours a month or a quarter reviewing and updating your Sifters, Sifter Settings, and advice available from LegalSifter Review. Hire LegalSifter to refresh your Document Types quarterly with LegalSifter Review Refresh. See your Growth representative to learn more.

LegalSifter Review Essentials edition clients: Onboarding only requires setting up a username and password plus a 30-minute user training that we encourage all users to attend. LegalSifter Review is preconfigured with out-of-the-box advice, Sifter Settings, and Document Types, so but for a few administrative settings and some training, Onboarding is simple. LegalSifter Review Professional edition clients: LegalSifter Review is usable immediately but for usernames, passwords, and a 30-minute user training, as it also comes with out-of-the-box advice, Sifter Settings, and Document Types. When configuring Document Types clients should expect to spend the following amount of time: 4-16 hours of work to create your first Document Type with one of our attorneys. 1-4 hours of work for each Document Type after the first one. 1-4 hours of refresh work each month or each quarter to keep your advice and Document Types fresh. 1-2 hours of administrator training for your Admins. 30 minutes of training for each user. Some clients knock out this work in days. Some take longer. __________ LegalSifter Review Professional clients onboard in five stages, led by one of our Sifting Services lawyers. ​ Essentials clients onboard in two stages: Launch and Health Check.

Yes. For our partners and for enterprise clients, we will co-brand LegalSifter Review as needed.

A Document Type Template is pre-determined bundle of Sifters, Advice and Sifter Settings targeted for a specific Document Type created by an individual LegalSifter Review Professional edition client. A LegalSifter Document Type Template is a Document Type Template created by LegalSifter for use by its clients. In general, LegalSifter Document Type Templates are available out of the box for all major contract types covered by LegalSifter Review. LegalSifter Document Type Templates are available to both LegalSifter Review Essentials and Professional edition clients.

With LegalSifter Review Refresh, our Sifting Services team will update LegalSifter Review advice and settings semi-annually if you don't have the time. Clients may update the advice and settings on their own at no additional cost.

Yes. If you are a LegalSifter Review Professional Edition client, and you require a language not already offered, we will configure our software in that language for you. Our Sifters only read English, but the application and the advice may be configured in another language.

Yes. LegalSifter Review will completely replace all contract negotiation playbooks for contract types for which we have coverage. LegalSifter Review is a much better solution than a regularly out-of-date, unwieldy contract playbook.

LegalSifter Review was built by lawyers, data scientists, software engineers, and business operators for anyone has the time to review and negotiate contracts, and has a "do-it-yourself" mindset. If you are the kind of person who reviews agreements and is willing to dig into the details and has the time, LegalSifter Review is a great fit for you. If either you do not have the time, or you are the kind of person who only wants to know, "can I sign it or not," and is not interested in the details, you should purchase LegalSifter Review Concierge and let us do it for you.

It does not. We have intentionally designed LegalSifter Review to not edit a contract automatically. We believe that given the limits of today's artificial intelligence, automatic redlines/blacklines offer more problems than benefits. Our opinion is best illustrated with an example. Take the following three assignment provisions: This agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other. This agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other, except that assignment of this agreement by either party to a successor organization by merger or acquisition does not require the written consent of the other party. This agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other, except that assignment of this agreement by Buyer to a successor organization by merger or acquisition does not require the consent of the Supplier. For our Assigning Rights and Obligations Sifter to edit these provisions accurately, it would need to coordinate at least five process steps. Identify the assignment provision. Type the assignment provision (e.g., requiring consent of both parties; requiring consent of both parties, except in the case of a merger or acquisition of either party; requiring consent of both parties, except in the case of a merger of involving the Buyer), of which there are many more than three types. Identify the client's point of view on all possible assignment provision types. Apply the correct point of view to the correct assignment type. Make a grammatically correct update. Yikes. That's a lot of things that can go wrong. We want our clients to keep their hands on the wheel. LegalSifter Review is not a driverless car. It's a Combined Intelligence product, relying on the reality that an algorithm plus a human is better than either by itself. For a client to set up their advice for an auto-redlining tool, it would have to anticipate every possible permutation of common provisions, and then set up business rules for each permutation. That's unreasonable. Clients spend most of their time reading and understanding what's there and not there in a contract. They spend the second most time figuring out what their position or market position is within the context of existing and missing provisions. They spend the least amount of time typing in redlines. LegalSifter does the first two things really well. Auto-redlining/blacklining is in its infancy as a technology. We have chosen to wait until we can eliminate some of these obvious problems. LegalSifter Review improves weekly, and we anticipate tackling these problems over time.

Yes, typically. "Up to 80% faster" is the most accurate statement. Context matters. We tend to define speed in terms of how fast a single person will review an agreement with and without LegalSifter Review. If you are negotiating an agreement over about which you have a lot of competency, you should see tremendous improvements in speed as learn to you work seamlessly with our Sifters over subject matter that you understand. If you are negotiating an agreement over which you have limited competency, you will not enjoy the fastest gains of all of our users, as you will spend more time familiarizing yourself with the concepts and advice from LegalSifter Review. That said, if LegalSifter Review allows you to review a contract that you would otherwise have to pass on to other people, the aggregate time savings vs. what you would have had to spend with multiple people may outpace all of our users. If you would rather not review contracts at all, do not like technology, and do not have a lot of contract competency, you are better off buying LegalSifter Review Concierge. Have someone else do it for you.

Lawyers with contract experience that work for LegalSifter, or with your permission, who work for either a law firm, themselves, or an alternative legal service provider. All LegalSifter Review Concierge clients work with a designated Concierge, a member of our Sifting Services team who is responsible for ensuring your subscription is successful.

We will turn our first redline the same or next business day most of the time. Ultimately, the negotiation timeline is a function of the counterparty. We anticipate publishing turnaround times on negotiations a little later in 2022.

All LegalSifter Review Concierge clients work with a designated Concierge, a member of our Sifting Services team who is responsible for ensuring your subscription is successful. For LegalSifter Review Concierge clients that ask us to redline the agreement only, we can handle LegalSifter Review Concierge deposits almost immediately. We require the following: Kickoff meeting Setup stage where we configure LegalSifter Review for your point of view. Test sift where we redline a test agreement for you To the extent you are comfortable with our out-of-the-box advice, we will begin work as soon as you sign off on a test sift. Clients are typically up and running in days or a week or two. ________ For LegalSifter Review Concierge clients that ask us to redline and negotiate their agreements, the Setup stage is more expansive. In addition to the above, we discuss the process and strategies for negotiating agreements. Clients are typically up and running in weeks.

Same or next business day. We hit those turnaround times the vast majority of the time.

If clients need support for Truckload Transportation Documents like Broker-Shipper Agreements, Broker-Carrier Agreements, or Shipper-Carrier Agreements, team members from transportation experts at Transaction Expeditors, subsidiary of full-service law firm, Frost Brown Todd, LLC, will support the contract reviews and redlines.

At our client's option, we will conduct one round of negotiation for our clients in an attempt to get the contract ready for signature.

LegalSifter Review Concierge was built by lawyers, data scientists, software engineers, and business operators for anyone that either does not have the time to review and negotiate contracts, or does not have a "do-it-yourself" mindset. If you are the kind of person who reviews agreements and is willing to dig into the details and has the time, you should buy LegalSifter Review. Otherwise, you should consider LegalSifter Review Concierge and let us do it for you.

LegalSifter Review Concierge is appropriate for most English-language, business-as-usual agreements, defined as what any procurement function spends up to 80% of its time negotiating. Business Associate Confidentiality / Non-Disclosure Consulting Data Processing Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) General Terms & Conditions / Boilerplate Goods Hotel Information Security Service Shipping: Truckload Transportation & Brokerage Software and IT Sponsored Research LegalSifter Review Concierge is not currently available for commercial property leases.

Yes. All LegalSifter Review Concierge clients receive a dashboard report that includes, at a minimum, the Document Deposit Credits used, the average turnaround time (in hours), the Document Deposit history line item detail and summarized by month and quarter. We use Salesforce.com for our reports and dashboards.

You will collect them and transfer them to us securely. We will agree with you on the fields of data that you would like to sift from your agreements, do a test sift of 25 or so documents, and then sift the information from the rest of your contracts using our Sifting Services team and LegalSifter Organize, our AI intelligence product. We will deliver all of your old contract data to you in a spreadsheet called a Sifting File. You will review the Sifting File and approve (or not, and we will fix the data until you approve). Once approved, we will migrate all your documents and data into the contract repository.

Typically, 1-3 business days.

A Field is is a type of data, such as an address, termination of convenience (yes/silent), contract title, counterparty name, etc.

The top reason clients purchase LegalSifter Organize Concierge is to achieve the peace of mind and efficiencies that come from organized documents. They expect the data to be clean, normalized, parent-child matched, de-duplicated, and usable. They don't want 13 different "Google, Incs" as counterparties - one misspelled with three "os", one with a comma, one with a period, etc. - none of which tie to each other. We back up our product and ensure your satisfaction with our 99%+ Data Quality Guarantee in our subscription agreements. If your data not at least 99% accurate, we have to fix it at no additional cost to you.

It does not. Our Sifting Services team uses LegalSifter Organize, our AI document intelligence tool, to extract and organize client contract data. We don't trust our Sifters to get it right enough to auto-extract. We also don't trust our people to get it right by themselves either. Like all of our our products, we use Combined Intelligence, both artificial and human intelligence together, because we believe an algorithm plus a person is stronger than either by itself. That being said, we do use a bunch of clever extraction techniques to make the process of organizing your documents fast, affordable, and pain-free for you.

Yes. LegalSifter Organize is a contract administrator as a service product that applies to any CLM on the marketplace. You only have to cover the cost of any user fees for our team as they work inside your chosen application.

All LegalSifter Organize Concierge clients work with a designated Concierge, a member of our Sifting Services team who is responsible for ensuring your subscription is successful. Onboarding timelines vary from a week or two to one quarter depending upon the size and complexity of the organization. Large enterprise clients will be closer to a quarter. Small and mid-markets clients will take a few weeks to a month or two.

Any organization who is tired of administering their own executed contract data should buy LegalSifter Organize Concierge. Frankly, that's just about everybody. Curating contracts is not core to organizations that bend metal, deliver services, code software, manage government agencies, or manufacture products. In the near future, contract administration as a service will be as normal a thing to buy as is outside payroll, IT, HR, cybersecurity, cloud, or any other back-office, non-core function sent outside the four walls of a company today. All of our LegalSifter Organize Concierge clients are happy, mostly because they don't have to organize their contracts themselves. Don't buy CLM. Buy contract administration as a service instead. Let contract administration experts organize signed agreements while you run your business.

LegalSifter Organize Concierge Clients consistently want four types of data sifted from their documents. "Name, rank, and serial number" fields: All clients want some combination of a group of standard fields like party name, counterparty name, start date, end date, term type, renewal time period, the notice required to stop autorenewal or to exercise the option to renew, fully executed, etc. Legal fields: Force majeure including epidemic, indemnity by a supplier, assignment rights with or without consent, limitation of liability above one year's fees, etc. are just a few of the examples that we see from clients who want to understand more about the legal terms and conditions within their contracts. Business-specific fields: Most clients want to know something about their contracts that is specific to their business. For example, if they sell purple, yellow, and green products, they may want to know the edition of the purple product, the price of the yellow product, and some obligations when delivering the green product. Exploding fields: A few clients need information that is captured in a table of an undefined size. Sometimes the table has two rows and two columns with four pieces of data. Sometimes the table has twenty rows and twenty columns with four hundred pieces of data. We call these fields exploding fields, as the extraction effort may explode from one contract to another.

Yes. At no additional cost to you, we include a CLM from one of our CLM partners.

Don't Buy CLM. We believe that organizations shouldn't buy a CLM. They cannot maintain it. Manage your contracts like you manage your money at a bank: When you deposit a check at a bank's ATM, you expect the money to appear on your banking app on your phone in seconds. You do not care how the money got to your phone or what the software is called. You only want to manage your financial life. CLMs don't operate like a bank ATM. If banks operated like CLMs, you would have to deposit your check, walk around the other side of the ATM and pull it out of the machine, carry it to the vault, login into another piece of software, enter the check amount, the payor, the payor's address, the payee, the check date, the account number, the routing number, issue and maintain login credentials to the payee, design and organize reports for the payee and the payor, etc. None of those activities are core to running your financial life, just as maintaining a CLM repository is not core to running your business. Organizations should purchase a Contract Administration as a Service (CAAAS) product like LegalSifter Organize Concierge with a data quality guarantee. Let contract administration experts organize signed agreements while you run your business.

All LegalSifter Organize Concierge clients receive a designated Concierge, a member of our Sifting Services team who is responsible for ensuring your subscription is successful.
