  1. 1

    Mask the contract

    Replace party names, signatories and personal details with Party A and Party B. Use only an approved tool for client documents.

  2. 2

    Run the summary

    Paste the masked contract into the starter prompt. For long contracts, run schedules separately.

  3. 3

    Check against the text

    Open each cited clause and confirm the summary matches it. Correct any clause number or meaning that is off.

  4. 4

    Add your view

    Add your own assessment of the flagged clauses before sharing the summary.

Watch out. Client documents are confidential, so mask names and use approved tools only. The model can misstate a clause, so verify every point against the contract and never send its output as legal advice.

What you end up with
