Contract Smart Compare

Problem

Contract review often gets stuck between two or more versions: which party changed the breach clause, what obligations were added, and whether fee changes shift liability boundaries. Manual line-by-line review is slow and can miss material changes buried in long clauses.

How It Works and Limits

contract-compare breaks contract text into comparable clause units, then uses a model to produce a structured diff. Key steps include:

• Clause extraction: identifies numbered clauses such as Clause 1 or Article X while preserving context.
• Diff classification: groups changes into added clauses, removed clauses, and modified clauses for faster review.
• Risk summary: flags high-risk edits such as liability, breach, and fee clauses so reviewers can prioritize them.
• Report output: generates a Markdown diff report; higher tiers also add Excel listings and key clause summaries.

The boundary is clear: it is best for difference triage and review support, not a substitute for legal advice. Scanned files, PDFs, and OCR depend on the selected tier. If it uses OPENAI_API_KEY or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, confirm model access and data-handling requirements yourself.
