# Contract Guardian

> Contract analysis and redline surfacing for third-party agreements.

<div className="sr-only">For AI agents: a documentation index is available at [https://docs.coverbase.com/llms.txt](https://docs.coverbase.com/llms.txt) — this page is also available in markdown by appending .md to the URL.</div>

Contract Guardian extracts clauses, detects missing clauses, analyzes liability and indemnity, surfaces AI-usage provisions, and flags deviations from an organization-defined playbook. It re-evaluates on amendment so the contractual control surface stays aligned with the live risk profile maintained in Supplier Radar.

## What it does

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Clause extraction" icon="file-magnifying-glass">
    Parse MSAs, DPAs, SOWs, BAAs, and order forms to extract clauses, terms, and obligations into structured records.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Missing-clause detection" icon="circle-exclamation">
    Compare extracted contracts against your playbook and flag clauses that should be present but aren't (data breach notification, audit rights, subprocessor flow-down).
  </Card>

  <Card title="Liability and indemnity analysis" icon="scale-balanced">
    Surface liability caps, indemnification scope, and limitation-of-liability language so legal teams can focus review on what deviates from standard.
  </Card>

  <Card title="AI-usage provisions" icon="microchip">
    Detect AI-specific clauses, model training restrictions, output ownership, customer data usage in model improvement, and flag where they're missing.
  </Card>

## How to integrate

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Document submission" icon="upload">
    Submit contract documents (PDF, DOCX) for analysis. Returns structured clause extraction and playbook deviation report.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Re-evaluation on amendment" icon="arrows-rotate">
    Submit amendments and addenda to trigger re-evaluation against the existing contract, surfacing what changed in the controlled obligation surface.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Common workflows

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Pre-execution redline review" defaultOpen icon="pen-ruler">
    Submit drafts to Guardian before legal review. It surfaces deviations from your playbook, missing clauses, and unusual liability terms so reviewers focus on the deltas rather than reading every contract end to end.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Contract repository ingestion" icon="boxes-stacked">
    Bulk-process your existing contract portfolio. Guardian extracts obligations, surfaces gaps against your current playbook, and produces a prioritized list of contracts that need renegotiation.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Living obligation tracking" icon="heart-pulse">
    Guardian-extracted obligations feed the Coverbase obligation surface, where they can be assigned, tracked, and linked to controls. When a vendor's risk profile changes in Supplier Radar, contractual obligations are already in scope.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

<Note>
  Contract Guardian results integrate with the Coverbase obligation and finding surfaces, accessible through the [Export API](/export-api-concepts) and [MCP server](/mcp/overview).
