I'm the GC building an AI-powered legal function at Worksome and I’m documenting everything.
Most AI contract review assumes you have a playbook. A lot of contracts don't. Here's the AI review process I use when I have a contract without a playbook and need to incorporate both outside counsel and finance’s redlines. Plus, the one rule that keeps me in control: nothing touches the document until I've approved the list.
This morning I asked myself whether I’d missed an issue in an agreement, and how. Before AI, answering that meant hours of comparing versions. This time it took one minute and two prompts. Here’s what I asked, what came back, and why “we never checked” is getting harder to say.
I was advising an in-house legal team that couldn't decide between a legal ops person, a project manager or a legal engineer. Before anything else, I wanted to know what they meant by the last one. Here is the whole wheel, the examples, and the test I'd run on any candidate.
