Frequently Asked Questions
What does a typical implementation process look like?
Implementation is a structured process focused on tailoring the agent to your environment that typically takes 3-4 weeks:
Discovery: We work with you to identify the locations of your BAAs (e.g., CLM, SharePoint) and your key reporting needs.
Configuration: We connect the agent to your systems and configure the clause classifiers to include any custom clauses specific to your organization.
Ingestion & Validation: The agent ingests a pilot batch of your BAAs, and your team validates the accuracy of the extracted data.
Go-Live: The agent is activated to process your full portfolio and new incoming BAAs.

Our organization has some unique, non-standard clauses we require in our BAAs. Can the agent be trained to identify these as well?
Yes. You can provide examples of your unique clauses, and the agent can be customized and configured to identify and classify them with the same high degree of accuracy.
How does the agent integrate with our existing Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) system or other document repositories?
The agent can integrate with leading CLM platforms via API to enrich existing contract records. For documents stored in repositories like SharePoint or network drives, it can systematically access, ingest, and process the BAA files, pushing the extracted clause data back into your CLM or another system of record.
