Most AI contract tools read one document at a time against a generic standard. CDL Intelligence’s negotiation AI is wired into the same converged dataset as the rest of the platform, so it drafts and redlines against your own playbook, your own previously negotiated terms, and your live vendor risk posture — not a template that treats every counterparty the same.
Four capabilities, one dataset
Draft
orGenerate first drafts and fallback language from your own standards, not a generic clause bank.
Redline
orMark up incoming paper against your playbook, with a plain-language rationale for every change.
Benchmark
orCompare every term to what you’ve actually accepted before, across your own contract portfolio.
Explain
orAsk plain-language questions about a clause and get a sourced, reviewable answer.
Grounded in your own negotiation history
Every redline surfaces how similar clauses played out elsewhere in your own portfolio — not industry benchmarks, your own decision history. A clause flagged for review might show "typically accepted, 3 of your last 4 negotiations with this clause type" alongside the suggested language, so a reviewer isn’t deciding in a vacuum.
A score that moves as you decide
A live CDL Framework score sits above the document, starting from the contract’s baseline and updating instantly as redlines are accepted or rejected — plus a projection of where the score would land if every pending redline were accepted. The effect of a negotiation decision is visible in the moment, not reconstructed later from a spreadsheet.
Negotiation history, not just a final document
Each round of a negotiation — every counterparty revision uploaded — is recorded against the same negotiation session automatically, so the back-and-forth is a visible timeline rather than a folder of "Contract_v7_FINAL_v2" files. When it’s time to send, the exported DOCX carries real Word-native track changes and comments, with a mode that strips privileged commentary before it reaches the counterparty.
AI outputs are assistive and should be reviewed by a qualified professional before use. They are not legal advice and do not create an attorney–client relationship.
