What ContractLab does — and what it does not do
ContractLab helps legal and business teams review contracts faster by extracting key terms, highlighting risks, identifying missing protections, and drafting review-ready redlines or negotiation points.
- It supports contract review, triage, collaboration, reporting, and approval workflows.
- It does not replace qualified legal advice, legal judgment, or final sign-off by counsel.
- AI output should be checked against the source contract before relying on it.
| Use ContractLab for | Risk spotting, summaries, clause review, redline suggestions, review workflow tracking |
|---|---|
| Do not use it as | A substitute for legal advice, a court-ready opinion, or an automatic approval engine |

Understanding your risk score
The risk score is a review-prioritisation signal from 0 to 100. It combines detected high-risk issues, missing protections, clause quality, and review context.
Low
Few material issues detected. Still review key terms before approval.
Medium
Some issues require attention or negotiation before relying on the contract.
High
Material issues likely need legal review, approval exceptions, or negotiation.
Setting up your workspace
