Plan AN: AI Contract Review

Claude / ChatGPT

Have the model rate each clause high/medium/low risk with reasons, hunting for the usual traps: harsh payment terms, excessive penalties, unlimited joint liability, unilateral termination, unfavorable governing law, or vague IP ownership.

💡Ask for a table — 'clause # | excerpt | risk level | why' — so you can scan the high-risk rows in seconds.

For high-risk clauses, have the model propose alternative language: how to rephrase, what to delete, what protective clause to add, and why it favors you. Confirm each change before it lands in the text.

💡Ask which proposed change the other side is most likely to accept, and prioritize those in negotiation.

Consolidate confirmed edits into a negotiation brief: must-haves (bottom lines), tradeables (leverage), and one-line talking points for each. Prep before the client meeting or video call.

💡Have the model turn each ask into a one-liner — 'we need X because Y' — ready to say out loud.

Notion

Store the original, the AI review report, the revised version and the negotiation brief in a Notion contract library, tagged by project and year, with signing status and effective date, so renewals and disputes are easy to research later.

💡Version your filenames, e.g. 20260801-cooperation-agreement-v2 — never overwrite the old copy.
