Detailed & Smarter Guides in VerifAI

Product Area: VerifAI (Standalone only)

Impact of Change: Major Feature Release

Roles Impacted: Legal Ops, Contract Reviewers, Legal Counsel

The Problem We're Solving

Until now, VerifAI Guides forced customers to oversimplify their nuanced playbooks into single-line guidelines - resulting in poor coverage, weak accuracy, and lots of manual interpretation. No way to save preferred clauses or fallback positions. Plus, navigation issues and incorrect paragraph references added friction.

The Solution: Smarter, Richer, More Contextual Guides

Guidelines can now be comprehensive enough to capture everything in your playbook - preferred clauses, fallback positions, and complex conditional logic.

• Guideline Titles - Give your guidelines clear, descriptive titles for quick navigation.

• Complex Guidelines with Intelligent Processing - Write guidelines as detailed as you need - no more forced oversimplification. VerifAI now breaks down complex guidelines into sub-guidelines behind the scenes and runs multi-layered checks. This also improves accuracy even further.

• Typical Wording (Your Standard Clause Language) - Add your preferred clause language. When VerifAI suggests edits, it tailors recommendations to match your typical wording while preserving legal meaning.

• Fallback Positions - Add up to two fallback clauses — alternative language you'd accept in negotiations. VerifAI will suggest edits based on these when needed.
• Fixed Navigation & Paragraph Referencing - No more broken paragraph jumps or cryptic internal indexes. VerifAI now references the correct paragraphs in your contract.
• Faster guide runs - VerifAI now runs guidelines in parallel thus arriving at results significantly faster.

Who Benefits Most?

This is a game-changer for upmarket customers with comprehensive, multi-layered playbooks — organizations with tiered negotiation strategies, and preferred clause libraries.

For customers with simpler guides? Nothing changes. Fully backward compatible.
