Pact · Agent Mesh
Document Ingestion
Upload contracts in PDF, DOCX, or scanned format. OCR extracts text from scanned documents.
Technical Design
Multi-agent RAG architecture with document intelligence pipeline. Contracts are ingested, chunked, and embedded into Azure AI Search for semantic retrieval. Specialized agents handle extraction, risk analysis, and comparison tasks.
System Components
Document Ingestion Service
PDF/DOCX parsing with OCR support using Azure Document Intelligence
Vector Store
Azure AI Search with semantic ranker for contract clause retrieval
Extraction Agent
Fine-tuned GPT-4 models for structured clause extraction
Risk Scoring Engine
ML-based risk assessment with configurable thresholds
Comparison Engine
Diff-based contract version comparison with deviation detection
Data Flow
Technology Choice
Azure AI Foundry + LangChain

Key Features
Clause Extraction
Automatically extract and categorize key clauses from contracts using fine-tuned NLP models. Supports 50+ clause types across NDAs, MSAs, and SLAs.
Risk Flagging
AI identifies and scores contractual risks including indemnification gaps, liability caps, and unusual termination clauses with severity ratings.
Obligation Tracking
Track and monitor contractual obligations, SLAs, and deadlines with automated reminders and compliance dashboards.
Term Comparison
Compare contract terms across versions and against standard templates. Highlights deviations and suggests alternative language.
RAG-Powered Q&A
Ask natural language questions about your contract portfolio and get instant, accurate answers grounded in actual contract language.
Batch Processing
Process thousands of contracts simultaneously with parallel AI agents. Extract metadata, classify documents, and generate summaries at scale.
How It Works
Document Ingestion
Upload contracts in PDF, DOCX, or scanned format. OCR extracts text from scanned documents.
Document Classification
AI classifies contract type (NDA, MSA, SLA, Employment, etc.) and routes to appropriate extraction pipeline.
Clause Extraction
Fine-tuned NLP models extract key clauses, terms, obligations, and metadata with high accuracy.
Risk Analysis
Extracted clauses are analyzed against risk patterns, scoring models, and compliance requirements.
Comparison & Review
Contract terms compared against templates, previous versions, and organizational standards.
Obligation Setup
Deadlines, SLAs, and commitments are extracted and added to tracking with automated reminders.
Report Generation
Comprehensive contract analysis report with risk summary, key terms, and actionable recommendations.
Continuous Monitoring
Ongoing monitoring for obligation deadlines, renewal dates, and compliance status with alerts.
