First-draft review notes
Reviewing a supplier's paper begins with the same read-through every time: which clauses are missing, which ones differ from your position, and what you accepted last time. This agent produces that first pass against your own playbook and precedents. A qualified lawyer reviews it before anything goes back to the other side.
Step by step
Read the incoming paper
The draft agreement or the supplier's terms are read in full, in whatever format they arrived.
Compare against your playbook
Each clause is checked against your standard position and your fallback positions, where you have written them down.
List every departure found
Missing clauses and clauses that differ are listed with the incoming wording and your position side by side.
Pull the matching precedent
For each departure, the agent shows how the point was agreed in comparable past agreements, citing them.
Collect the open points
Anything the playbook does not cover is listed as an open point for the reviewer rather than resolved with a guess.
A lawyer reviews before sending
A qualified lawyer accepts, edits or rejects each note. The agent sends nothing to the counterparty.
Exactly what this agent can see, touch and change
The same five controls sit behind every Askollo agent. These are this one's settings — visible before you build it, not buried in an admin screen afterwards.

How you know it’s rightEvery claim links to the document it came from. A statement the agent cannot cite does not make it into the output — which is what makes the result reviewable in minutes rather than re-read end to end.

- A list of open points for the reviewer
What it doesn’t do
It drafts review notes from your own material. It does not advise, negotiate, approve a deviation or sign anything, and its output is a starting point for a lawyer rather than a legal opinion.
We build the first one with you
Not a template you configure alone. We sit with your team, build it on real data, and hand over the controls.
Scope
One session with the people who actually do the work. We agree what the agent reads, what it may write, and who approves.
Co-build
Built on your own data, not a sandbox. You watch it being made, so you know why it behaves the way it does.
Handover
You own the controls. Change the context, tighten the rights, move the approval gate — without coming back to us.
Parts of the work currently spread across the categories below. It does not replace any of those products outright.
Frequently asked
Does this count as a legal opinion?
No, and it is not written to look like one. It compares a document against positions your organisation has already written down and shows where they differ. A qualified lawyer decides what any of it means and what to do about it.
What if we have no playbook?
Then it compares against your executed agreements and reports how the same points have been agreed before. That is weaker than a playbook, and the agent says so rather than implying a house position exists.
Can it produce a redlined document?
It produces the notes and the suggested wording, and your reviewer applies them in your own drafting tool. Keeping the mark-up in a lawyer's hands is deliberate, because tracked changes go straight to the other side.
Does it handle unusual agreements?
It handles what your material covers. Where a document sits outside your playbook, most of it comes back as open points, which is honest: the agent is telling you this one needs a proper read.
