How to build a Contract Analyst with Cerebras
A Cerebras-powered contract analysis workflow that ingests documents, extracts critical terms and clauses, cross-references them against organizational policies, and produces comprehensive risk assessments.
Challenge
Legal and procurement teams spend countless hours manually reviewing contracts, extracting key clauses, checking policy compliance, and assessing risks—a tedious, error-prone process that delays deal closures.

Transform your contract review process from hours to minutes with this intelligent document analysis workflow.
How It Works:
Document Upload & Processing — Upload one or multiple contract files (PDFs, Word documents, etc.) which are automatically parsed using OCR technology to extract all text content.
Intelligent Metadata & Clause Extraction — An AI analyst systematically extracts critical contract elements including party information, key dates, financial terms, and 15+ clause categories such as indemnification, termination rights, IP ownership, liability limitations, and dispute resolution provisions.
Automated Policy Compliance Check — Extracted clauses are automatically compared against your company's internal policies (retrieved from your OneDrive knowledge base) to identify violations, gaps, and areas requiring negotiation or escalation.
Executive Risk Summary — A comprehensive risk assessment is generated, categorizing findings by financial, legal, operational, compliance, and reputational risk—complete with specific recommendations (Stop, Negotiate, Accept with Mitigation, Escalate, or Approve).
Three Outputs Delivered:
Metadata & Clauses Report — Complete extraction of all contract terms and provisions
Policy Compliance Analysis — Detailed comparison against organizational standards
Risk Summary & Recommendations — Executive-ready assessment with actionable next steps
Ideal For:
Legal teams reviewing vendor agreements
Procurement managers evaluating supplier contracts
