contract obligation tracker

The problem

Legal teams and project managers often struggle to track hidden performance requirements within long-form contracts. Manual review frequently misses triggers, specific notice windows, or the evidence required to prove compliance.

What it does

• Identifies mandatory obligations using linguistic cues like 'shall', 'must', and 'covenants'.
• Extracts ten specific data points for every obligation, including triggers, deadlines, and dependencies.
• Calculates monitoring priority based on financial risk, termination rights, and regulatory impact.
• Exposes vague legal standards and ambiguities that require specific counsel review.
• Filters out rights, permissions, and recitals to focus strictly on actionable performance.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Generic prompts often hallucinate rights as obligations or fail to distinguish between administrative tasks and high-priority legal risks. This skill enforces a strict ten-field extraction schema and mandatory ambiguity flagging, ensuring no deadline or evidence requirement is overlooked.

Use cases

• Auditing vendor service level agreements for hidden reporting requirements.
• Building a compliance calendar from a newly signed master services agreement.
• Identifying high-risk clauses during the due diligence phase of an acquisition.
• Reviewing lease agreements to map out specific notice periods and renewal triggers.

Known limitations

This tool identifies obligations based on text patterns and does not provide legal advice. It requires clean text input from contract summaries or clause excerpts.
