How it works

How the redline gets made.

A deterministic pipeline turns a Slack drop into a tracked-changes .docx. Every change cites a playbook rule, every approval clears a gate, every routing decision is a score, not a vibe.

Grounded in your lawyers’ rules. Routed by risk band. A safety check on every position. Three artifacts, every change cited.

01Tracked changes

That open in Word, not a chatbot.

Routing by risk band. Spend lawyer credits only when it’s actually hard.
Three lanes, one queue

Most contract-review tools have one lane: flag everything to a human. Beelor scores every contract 0 to 100 and splits the queue into three bands. The first two ship without a lawyer because the playbook does. High risk routes to a Beelor panel lawyer in the same Slack thread, clause by clause, and the redline regenerates from those decisions before it ships.

01Auto-approve

Ships against the playbook.

Maps cleanly to your playbook. Beelor produces the redraft, applies your lawyers' positions, and returns it. No human in the loop because the playbook already encodes what a senior lawyer would have said.

For example

NDA from a known counterparty. Mutual, 2-year term, your standard governing law. No deviations.

BandLow riskOut the door in minutes.
02Client review

The client gives the nod.

One or two deviations. Beelor drafts the redline; the client confirms in Slack or on the dashboard. Still no lawyer credits used.

For example

Vendor MSA with a 6× cap (your floor is 12×). Two clauses to confirm; the rest is house standard.

BandMedium riskClient decides within the day.
03Lawyer review

A senior lawyer steps in.

Material deviations, novel terms, or counterparty pushback. This is where you actually want a real lawyer, briefed by the same playbook and memo, with the substance laid out.

For example

Enterprise customer demanding uncapped IP indemnity and a non-standard data-residency clause.

BandHigh riskLawyer returns within agreed SLA.
