4. Reviewing Your Document Analysis

Once the analysis is complete, you'll be taken to the review dashboard. This dashboard is divided into 3 key sections, each providing a different layer of insight.

This section highlights critical issues that could pose a significant risk. The AI identifies clauses that are problematic, potentially unfair, or could lead to future disputes. Pay close attention to items marked as "Critical."

This section compares the clauses in your document to typical industry standards. A higher "Deviation Score" indicates a greater deviation from the standard, helping you quickly identify unconventional terms.
