WHO IT’S FOR

Built for your team. Not just your legal department.

In-House Legal Teams

Reduce first-pass review time from hours to minutes. Apply your standards consistently, with redlines ready before the first call with the counterparty.

Commercial & Sales Teams

Run a first-pass review before legal gets involved. Understand what is actually non-standard before the negotiation starts and reduce back-and-forth with legal on routine issues.

Government-Adjacent Organizations

Keep government and commercial data separated at the database layer. Runs on FedRAMP-authorized infrastructure with no additional compliance burden.

Ask encodes your playbook once and applies it to every contract automatically. Your team focuses on strategy and exceptions — not clause-by-clause comparison.

From playbook to redline report.

Ask by Plenum turns your legal team’s negotiating standards into a fully automated review engine. As an advanced AI contract reviewer, it ensures every single contract is measured against the exact same baseline — your own. Let our contract review tool do the heavy lifting so you know exactly whether to accept, negotiate, or redline before you even open the document.

What the Report Surfaces

Every review produces a structured, organized report — a risk scorecard summary at the top, a full clause-by-clause breakdown, and all proposed redlines consolidated into one document. This exportable report is shareable with outside counsel or the counterparty the exact same day.

Hard Conflicts: Identifies major deviations from your playbook requiring immediate mitigation before the contract proceeds.
Negotiable Gaps: Highlights positions outside of preferred language but within acceptable fallback limits for your team’s decision.
Confirmed Alignments: Provisions explicitly matching your playbook standards that do not need to be reviewed.

The 6-Step Process

The Automated Review Engine Process

1. Playbook Ingestion

Tell your standards once. Configure the platform with preferred positions, acceptable fallbacks, and hard limits for the provisions that matter most.

2. Contract Submission

Drop in any contract, in any format. Make an almost immediate go/no-go decision based on Ask’s color-coded risk markers.

3. Clause Extraction & Mapping

Every clause is identified, labeled, and matched. The AI reads the submitted contract and extracts material clauses automatically.

4. Sensitivity Analysis

Every variance scored. Each matched clause is evaluated against your playbook rules, and missing clauses are instantly caught.

5. Resolution Language

Redlines ready before the meeting starts. Ask generates specific playbook-sourced redline language for negotiations.

6. Review Report Delivered

One report. Every issue. Ready to action. This comprehensive report enables faster turnarounds and consistent application of standards.

Clause Extraction & Classification

The AI reads every contract and extracts material clauses automatically — labeling each by provision type with high accuracy. It identifies indemnity, liability, payment, IP, termination, and governing law, meaning no manual tagging is ever required.

Risk Scoring & Conflict Detection

Every extracted clause is directly compared against your playbook and assigned a precise risk rating. Missing clauses — provisions your playbook requires that the submitted contract omits entirely — are flagged as omissions instantly.

Resolution Language Generation

For every flagged issue, Ask generates specific redline language sourced directly from your playbook. Your team walks into negotiations equipped with exact language, not ambiguity, guaranteeing that your unique standards are applied correctly every time.
