How do I review contracts against our own standard terms?
The AgentScore Contract Agent reads each contract against your standard: one we built from years of negotiating deals, sharpened by the positions your company takes. It tells you which clauses are missing, which contradict each other, and where you have not decided what you want yet. You negotiate better contracts without reading every page against a checklist yourself.

@AgentScore Contract Agent ashgrove sent the pilot paper. what am i actually signing
AgentScore Contract AgentAgent11:07 AM
Hey Sam, on it. This is an order form, and it incorporates their master agreement by reference, so half of what you are signing is not in the file you sent me. I pulled the MSA it points at and I am reading the two as one agreement.
Both in full, no skimming. The clause that costs money is the one nobody thought to search for.
The Ashgrove pilot order form, read against their MSA.
33 of 33 clauses evaluated across both documents, and all 7 of the clauses this kind of paper owes you are present: the liability cap you will not find in the order form is in Section 9 of the MSA it incorporates, so that is not a gap. Three things are worth your time, most expensive first.
- Their license on your data has no use limit. Section 4 licenses it for “Ashgrove’s business purposes”, which neither document defines. As written that covers training a model they sell to somebody else. Nothing in the paper says so, which is the point: this one is an absence, so there is no clause to point at.
- The cap has a hole exactly where the money is. Section 9 caps both sides at 12 months of fees, and then Section 7 carves data protection back out of it. So the one obligation most likely to cost you real money is the one with no ceiling on it.
- You have to decide on renewal before you know whether the pilot worked. Non-renewal takes 60 days notice on a 90 day term, so your deadline is day 30. The joint success review is day 45. Those two dates disagree, and if you miss the first one the paper renews you for 12 months.
One more, routed rather than answered: whether that carve-out holds up at all under Delaware law is a question for a lawyer, not for me. The clause is flagged so counsel can go straight to it.
Holding on two answers before I call this done.
1. Data use: is “provide and support the service for us, never train a third-party model on it” the line you want? I have no position on file.
2. Liability: cap data protection like everything else, or leave it uncapped in your favor?
Mention me and I will pick this up here.

@AgentScore Contract Agent yes on 1, that’s the line. and cap it like everything else, we don’t want a special case
AgentScore Contract AgentAgent11:14 AM
That settles both, and it changes what I would send back:
- Section 4 gets a use limitation, worded to your line.
- Section 7’s carve-out comes out, so the cap covers data protection too.
Two things before I write these down. Is this the company’s answer from here on, or just for Ashgrove? And if they refuse the use limitation outright, do I hold the line or bring it back to you? A position with no answer to that is a wish.
I do not record anything mid-discussion either way: a position taken from a passing comment is worse than no position at all.
Sam11:15 AM
@AgentScore Contract Agent from now on, that’s our position. if they push back on the data one, bring it to me
AgentScore Contract AgentAgent11:16 AM
Recorded, both scoped to any counterparty rather than to this deal:
📌 Customer data, use limitation. Ask for use limited to providing the service, with no training of third-party models on our data. If they refuse it outright, stop and bring it back to Sam.
📌 Liability, no carve-outs. Data protection sits under the same cap as everything else, and any carve-out from it is a decision for a person.
Every review after this one applies them without asking you again. Change your mind and I replace them rather than keep both.

@AgentScore Contract Agent nice. mark it up so i can send it back to them
AgentScore Contract AgentAgent11:18 AM
It is a Word file, so it can carry real tracked changes. Three edits, each quoting their text exactly as it stands today:
- Section 1: 60 days notice becomes 30, so your deadline lands after the success review.
- Section 4: the use limitation goes in, in your words.
- Section 7: the carve-out comes out, replaced with the cap.
It lands in this thread for you to send, not with them. The changes are authored as AgentScore rather than as me, because a tracked change is a claim about who proposed it, so it is yours to approve before it exists:
AgentScore Contract AgentAgent11:24 AM
Marked up and posted. Three tracked changes, nothing unmatched, so the file holds exactly what we agreed and their text is untouched everywhere else. Open it to read the markup.
✓ Approved by Sam · 3 tracked changes · authored as AgentScore · 2 positions on the record
When it comes back with their changes on it I will not mark up their redline. Somebody has to accept or reject theirs first, and that one is yours.
What it does
- Tells you what is missing, not only what is there
- Tells you if it could not read part of a document, so nothing gets missed quietly
- Drafts new agreements from the same standard, in Word or PDF, in one language or two side by side
What you get back
- The bottom line first, then how many clauses it read and whether all the basics are there
- Each point quoting the exact words it is about, ranked by what it could cost you
- A few questions where your company has not decided what it wants, asked in the thread
What you give it
- Any contract you are about to sign, on your paper or theirs
- The terms it points to, like a master agreement, read with it as one agreement
- The positions your company has already taken
What stays with your team
- Whether a clause would hold up in court. It flags the clause for your lawyer.
- Your company’s positions. It asks, and records an answer only once you confirm it should stand.
Questions about the Contract Agent
Can an AI agent replace a lawyer for contract review?
No. The AgentScore Contract Agent reads the business terms: what is missing, what disagrees, and what a clause could cost you. Whether a clause would hold up in court is a question for a lawyer, so it flags those clauses and your lawyer can go straight to them.
What kinds of contracts can an AI agent review?
Anything you are about to sign, such as an order form, an NDA, a license or a services agreement. Every review checks the basics: who the parties are, how long it runs, what you pay, how it ends, whether liability is capped, confidentiality and which law governs it.
Does the Contract Agent learn our company’s positions?
Yes. When it finds a clause your company has no view on, it asks in the thread. Once you settle the answer and confirm it should stand, it records it, and every later review applies it without asking again.
We build it for your company, then stay on.
A business expert from our team learns how your company works first. We build the agent around that, launch it in the Slack your team already uses, and keep improving it after launch.
