Contract Analysis
Lexnus analyses any contract, yours or a counterparty's, against your active Legal Playbook. Every rule is checked. Violations are flagged with the specific text that triggered them. Gaps are identified where required clauses are missing. Results are available in under a minute. No manual review required for standard issues.
How it works
Upload any contract
Upload a PDF or Word document. Lexnus accepts counterparty paper, internally drafted contracts, AI-generated drafts, and contracts pulled from your repository. No formatting requirements.
Lexnus selects the right playbook
Based on the contract type detected in the document, Lexnus selects the matching playbook automatically. If your organisation has playbooks for NDAs, MSAs, and employment agreements, Lexnus identifies which applies. You confirm before analysis runs.
The AI model interprets the contract
The AI model reads the contract and extracts structured values from natural language text: liability caps, notice periods, governing law, payment terms, termination conditions, and any other fields referenced in your playbook rules. This step converts unstructured legal text into structured data.
The playbook evaluates
Each rule in the playbook receives the extracted values and evaluates deterministically. This is rule evaluation, not AI judgement. "Aggregate liability must not exceed 1.5x ACV" either passes or fails based on the extracted cap value. Every rule produces one of three outcomes:
- Violation — The contract contains language that breaks this rule. The specific text is identified.
- Gap — The contract is missing a clause or term this rule requires.
- Pass — The rule is satisfied.
Results are presented with context
The analysis result shows every rule outcome, the specific contract text that triggered each violation, and the approved clause or fix for each issue. A compliance score summarises the overall result. The GC or lawyer reviews the flagged items, not the entire contract.
Key capabilities
- Full-document analysis in under 60 seconds — No wait for a human to review. Standard issues are identified automatically.
- Violation with evidence — Every flagged violation includes the exact contract text that triggered it, the rule it broke, and the approved remedy.
- Gap detection — Missing required clauses are identified, not just incorrect ones.
- Compliance score — A 0–100 score summarising overall contract compliance against your playbook. Useful for portfolio-level monitoring.
- Approval routing — Rules can be configured to require GC approval when triggered. Analysis results route automatically to the designated approver.
- Audit trail — Every analysis is logged: who ran it, when, which playbook version, and what the result was. Immutable.
- Counterparty paper — Works on third-party contracts exactly as it works on your own drafts. Upload any DOCX or PDF.
- AI-generated contract support — Contracts drafted by ChatGPT, Copilot, or any other AI tool are subject to the same analysis. Lexnus is the policy layer on top of AI-generated output.
Who uses this
Lawyers and Associates run analysis on counterparty contracts before review begins. Instead of reading the full document to find issues, they start with Lexnus's flagged violations and focus their time on the items that require judgement.
General Counsel use analysis results as the basis for approval decisions. When a contract is routed for GC sign-off, the analysis shows exactly what triggered the escalation and why.
Business users in sales and procurement can initiate analysis on contracts they receive before involving legal. If it passes, they know. If it flags violations, they know what to escalate.
