Contract Risks

The Risks tab in Contract Detail page of a specific Contract summarizes potential issues identified in the contract and helps you prioritize review based on severity and impact.

What the Risks tab shows

Depending on your organization setup, the tab may include:

• Overall risk level for the contract
• Risk breakdown by level (how many high/medium/low findings)
• Risk items grouped by topic or clause area
• Explanation/context for why each item was flagged
• Linked contract text (or clause reference) for faster validation
• Status/workflow fields where teams track review outcomes

Risk levels

Risk findings are typically grouped into levels such as:

• High risk
  Material legal/commercial/compliance concerns that may require immediate legal review or negotiation.

• Medium risk
  Important deviations or unclear language that should be reviewed before approval.

• Low risk
  Minor issues, informational flags, or acceptable variations that still deserve visibility.

Some organizations may also use labels like Info or No significant risk for context-only findings.

Risk labels are decision-support signals, not legal advice. Final interpretation remains with your legal/commercial reviewers.

How risk analysis works (at a high level)

The platform analyzes contract text and metadata, then maps findings to your organization’s configured standards and risk logic.
That can include factors like:

• clause language patterns
• missing or weak protections
• obligation/compliance exposure
• deviations from preferred terms (where standards are configured)

As extraction/analysis quality improves (for example after re-analysis or metadata updates), risk output may also change.

Practical use cases

• Pre-signature legal/commercial review
• Renewal decision support
• Vendor/customer risk comparisons
• Audit/compliance evidence trails
• Prioritizing review queues by severity

Permissions and visibility

You need the appropriate risk-related permissions to view and act on risk findings in this tab.
Editable controls (if present) depend on your role and org configuration.
