The Friction Point
"The core issue was not legal capability, but the lack of standardization and pre-validation before legal engagement."
Legal teams were overloaded with incomplete SOWs, non-standard supplier quotes, and missing commercial data. This "garbage in" problem resulted in frequent redlines, multiple iterations, and extended procurement cycles—impacting velocity and wasting high-value legal hours on basic checks.
Solution: Intelligent Agentic AI Layer
I helped design an AI-powered contract review agent to act as a first-level reviewer. It sits between Procurement and Legal, standardizing inputs and identifying risks before a human ever sees the document.
SOWs & Legal Docs
- Clause Verification: Checks against legal standards.
- Risk Prioritization: Flags Critical vs. Medium issues.
- Missing Info: Identifies non-compliant sections.
- Output: Generates a "Legal-Ready" summary.
Supplier Quotes
- Field Extraction: Pulls payment terms, dates, and costs.
- Template Detection: Flags non-standard vendor paper.
- Gap Analysis: Tells buyer exactly what is missing.
- Automation: Preps data for Contract Request Form.

Strategic Value
"This initiative demonstrates my ability to identify structural bottlenecks between Procurement and Legal and solve them using AI-enabled governance, not additional headcount."
