Quote Contract Intelligence Agent

Generates contracts from quote data, applies policy rules to every clause, and escalates only non-standard exceptions.

Contract creation after quote approval typically requires manual drafting and clause checking, making the process slow, repetitive, and prone to policy oversight. Legal and sales teams often spend time validating standard terms, resulting in unnecessary escalations and delayed deal execution.

The Quote Contract Intelligence Agent automates contract creation by transforming approved quotes into draft contracts using pre-approved templates and structured business rules. It pulls data from quote records, customer master data, product catalogs, prior agreements, and pricing configurations to populate all required commercial and legal terms accurately. The agent then evaluates every clause — comparing it against current policy, approval matrices, and compliance rules — ensuring that standard, policy-aligned contracts proceed without human involvement. Only clauses that present risk, deviate from standards, or require specialized interpretation are automatically routed to legal reviewers with clear context and justification.

Beyond contract drafting and validation, the agent maintains an auditable trail of how each clause was sourced, populated, and validated. It supports traceability by capturing the origin of key terms and documenting its policy checks and escalation logic. This ensures governance without introducing delays.

By focusing on automated contract generation and precise, rule-based clause validation, the agent eliminates repetitive work, reduces legal workload, and shortens contract turnaround time. Sales teams benefit from faster progression to signature, while organizations maintain high standards of compliance, accuracy, and accountability.

  • Flagged for Review: 2

3. Flagged Clauses for Manual Review (Escalation)

The following clauses deviate from standard corporate policy and require review and approval from the designated departments.

Clause Reference Proposed Clause (from Quote) Standard Policy Risk Assessment Recommended Action
4.1 Payment Terms All invoices to be paid within 45 days of receipt (Net 45). Company standard is Net 30 for all contracts under $1M TCV. Low Risk. Minor impact on accounts receivable cycle and cash flow. Precedent exists for strategic customers. Escalate to Finance for review and approval.
11.2 Limitation of Liability Total liability is capped at the total fees paid by the customer in the preceding 24 months. Standard policy limits liability to fees paid in the preceding 12 months. Medium Risk. This modification doubles the financial exposure in the event of a claim. Increases potential liability from ~$135k to ~$270k. Escalate to Legal Department for risk analysis and approval.

4. Next Steps

  1. Finance Review: The "Payment Terms" exception has been routed to the Finance approval queue.
  2. Legal Review: The "Limitation of Liability" exception has been routed to the Legal Department approval queue.
