What it does

Catches the risk read before signature. The colleague reads the pending contract in Ironclad to learn the vendor + scope + value, runs public-web searches for the last 18 months of lawsuits / breaches / investigations / settlements, scores the signals, and ships a one-pager to the signer with a clear risk grade and a recommended action. Most briefs land in the signer’s Slack before they’ve finished reading the MSA.

How it works

  1. Pull contract. Read the pending contract record from Ironclad — vendor, scope, value.
  2. Search. Query the public web for recent risk signals against the vendor. Capture sources + dates.
  3. Compose. Score the signals, roll up to a Green / Yellow / Red risk grade, recommend an action, DM the signer.

Setup

  • Connect a CLM (Ironclad).
  • Connect a web-search tool (Google Search or equivalent).
  • Connect a messaging channel (Slack or Teams).
  • Configure risk thresholds — what kinds of signals push a vendor from Green → Yellow → Red.

Variations

  • Add a comparable-vendor outcome section — how peers fared with this same counterparty.
  • Pipe Red-grade vendors straight to the GC for sign-off rather than the original signer.
  • Re-run the brief on contract renewal automatically, even if nothing on our side changed.
