Legal & client-facing drafts
Stress-test memos, agreements, and client-facing drafts with structured reviewers—then review an issue ledger and Proof Report before partner review or filing prep. Not legal advice; not a law firm; attorney review recommended for filings and citations unless you supply authoritative sources.

Who this is for
Lawyers, paralegals, and deal teams preparing memos, client updates, and agreement drafts for partner or counterparty review—who want a disciplined pre-pass without confusing tooling for legal advice.
Problems
Typical review failures
- Cross references drift after late insertions (schedules, definitions, exhibits).
- Ambiguous obligations (“reasonable efforts”) without consistent qualifiers across sections.
- Inconsistent party labels and defined terms after partial edits from multiple authors.
Where review helps
What a Document Check can surface
- Clarity risks and internal inconsistencies as structured findings in the issue ledger.
- Cross-document mismatches when you attach exhibits (Pro; policy-dependent).
- A disciplined second pass on mechanics so counsel spends time on judgment calls—not typos alone.
Your judgment
What stays with counsel
- Privilege, filing, regulatory interpretation, and negotiation strategy.
- Whether a clause is acceptable—software cannot sign for the firm.
Recensa fit
Where it sits in the workflow
Use proof report mode for triage-led outputs, add supporting files when you need anchors to exhibits, and apply locks for names, numbers, and non-negotiable clauses. Export outputs into your existing Word redline process—see Academy: redlining in Word.
Verify
Before you rely on output
- Spot-check every “material” issue against source documents and playbooks.
- Reconcile defined terms after any automated pass—tools can miss subtle drift.
