What each one does

Contract Review

  • Reads any contract and produces a structured review with risk rating and key terms summary
  • Flags unusual or risky clauses with plain English explanations of what they mean
  • Identifies missing protections that should normally be in this type of agreement
  • Recommends specific actions for each clause (negotiate, accept, seek legal advice, or query)
  • Translates legal jargon into a summary anyone can understand

SOP Writer

  • Writes structured SOPs with purpose, scope, responsibilities, and step-by-step procedures
  • Includes RACI-style role assignments for each action
  • Adds quality checkpoints and non-conformance handling
  • Formats for compliance standards like ISO 9001, GMP, or regulatory frameworks
  • Produces version-controlled documents ready for review and approval
