How AI Contract Review Works in Gavel Exec

Gavel Exec works directly inside Microsoft Word and on the web, letting you execute comprehensive contract reviews and redlines against custom playbooks.

Here is a labeled worked example: A user opens a Series A preferred stock investment agreement in Word and sets the negotiation style to market for 'the company', attaching a term sheet as context. Exec checks the document against precedent and market data, identifying that the investment amount is listed as $250,000 instead of the $500,000 specified in the term sheet. Exec generates a high-priority redline tracked change with reasoning, allowing the user to click accept and instantly update the documentC-22.

You can evaluate Gavel Exec immediately on your own contracts using 25 free queries without entering payment details.

  • Step 1: Get a first pass based on your precedent and standards rather than generic best practices
  • Step 2: Check for missing terms, gaps, and inconsistencies before negotiation
  • Step 3: Summarize risks, positions, and negotiation posture for your team or client
  • Step 4: Review, edit, and accept or reject redlines directly as Word tracked changes
  • Step 5: Inspect the reasoning and cited source files behind each recommended revision
