GETTING STARTED

Pick the path that matches why you are here.

The where-to-start guide meets you at the door. Choose your track and work through a short checklist at your own pace; ticks are saved to your account, and every step ends in something useful: a filled-in record, a percentile, or a playbook.

The contract track: upload, let the AI analyst read it, run the redline review, compare against another agreement, and search inside everything you uploaded.

STEP 1
Upload a contract

PDF or DOCX. The platform reads it and pre-fills the vendor, value, and key dates, so you start from a filled-in record, not a blank form.

STEP 2
Let the AI analyst read it

Ask for a full analysis and get a negotiation playbook in about a minute: where the leverage is, where the risk is, and what to do first.

STEP 3
Run the redline review

Open your proposal and run the AI review. Risky clauses are flagged with exact quotes from the document, highlighted in the file viewer.

THE PORTFOLIO TRACK

Running a whole stack? Start here instead.

Bulk upload a folder of contracts in one go, benchmark the whole stack at once, review the opportunities queue ranked by money on the table, invite your team, and connect a data source so license positions appear next to every agreement automatically.

FIRST MONTH
The portfolio takes shape

Agreements loaded, renewal clocks counting, the first workflow running on uploads, and the opportunities queue ranked by savings.

ONGOING
The platform works while you sleep

Thirty background jobs watch renewals, anomalies, market drift, and vendor news, and the Monday morning briefing tells you what changed.
