Legal & Risk
Third-party and vendor risk assessment
Assess new and existing suppliers for legal, financial, data protection, and reputational risk by combining questionnaire responses, public filings, sanctions and adverse media checks, and contract terms.
40–60%
reduction in vendor due diligence time
Opportunity assessment
Minor improvement. Small efficiency gain with limited effect on overall turnover or bottom line.
Moderate effort. Requires configuration, prompt engineering, and testing. A capable team can get there but expect several months.
Moderate data needs. Works with data most businesses hold, but will likely need consolidation, cleaning, or reformatting before use.
Moderate risk. Some customer or external exposure. Errors create rework or reputational impact but are recoverable.
Light people impact. A new tool slots into an existing workflow. Minimal training needed. Most people will adapt quickly.
Tooling required
Things to consider
Adverse media screening produces high false positive rates on common company names. Require corroboration from at least two independent sources before a flag reaches a decision maker.
Onboarding due diligence is a snapshot. The risk that matters usually emerges later, so run continuous monitoring on your critical suppliers rather than an annual refresh.
Sanctions screening has legal consequences for getting it wrong in either direction. Keep that check in a dedicated, auditable tool rather than folding it into a general-purpose model.
Experiment starter: Re-screen your twenty most critical suppliers with automated checks and compare against the file you already hold. Anything material that surfaces is both a live risk and your evidence for continuous monitoring.

Contract review and clause risk flagging
Review inbound contracts against the company's playbook of acceptable positions, flagging non-standard clauses — liability caps, indemnities, termination, auto-renewal — with the preferred alternative wording.
NDA triage and standard-term approval
Automatically assess inbound NDAs against a pre-approved position, approve those that match, and escalate only the ones with material deviations, with the deviations highlighted.
Legal research and precedent summarisation
Summarise relevant legislation, regulator guidance, and internal precedent for a specific question, with citations, giving the in-house team a researched starting point rather than a blank page.
