03 Use cases

Five teams, five different bottlenecks

The engine is the same. What changes is which clause types matter, who is allowed to accept a deviation, and what happens after signature. Here is how each team configures it.

Case 01

In-house legal

Teams of 3–40 reviewing inbound paper

The bottleneck

Inbound supplier and customer paper arrives faster than counsel can read it. Reviewers give different answers to the same indemnity depending on who picked up the ticket, and the playbook lives in a slide deck nobody has opened since it was written.

With Clauzy

The playbook becomes executable. Every inbound document returns a numbered ledger against the same standard, and override analytics show where the written rule and actual practice have drifted apart — which is usually the honest starting point for a policy review.

Case 02

Procurement

Non-lawyers handling supplier terms

The bottleneck

Buyers must accept or challenge supplier terms without legal training. Everything gets escalated, or nothing does. Auto-renewals slip past because the notice window closed while the contract sat in a shared drive.

With Clauzy

Low-value renewals clear automatically when they match the playbook. Anything blocking routes to legal already annotated with clause, rule and proposed wording. Renewal and notice dates are extracted at signature and pushed to the owner's calendar.

Case 03

Sales operations

Redlines arriving late in the quarter

The bottleneck

A prospect returns the order form with tracked changes on the last day of the quarter. Nobody can tell quickly whether the edits are cosmetic or whether the liability cap just moved, so the deal waits for a lawyer who is in another negotiation.

With Clauzy

Semantic version comparison flags exactly which positions changed since the version legal approved, ignoring renumbering and formatting noise. Cosmetic rounds close without escalation; substantive ones arrive at counsel with the diff already isolated.

Case 04

Startups without counsel

Founders signing their first enterprise paper

The bottleneck

The first enterprise customer sends a sixty-page MSA. External counsel quotes four figures for a review the founder needs by Friday, and the alternative is signing something with an uncapped indemnity nobody read to the end.

With Clauzy

The market baseline playbook flags the three clauses that genuinely matter at that stage — liability cap, indemnity scope and IP assignment — with wording to send back. External counsel is then paid to decide, not to read.

Case 05

Law firms

Fixed-fee review and due diligence

The bottleneck

Fixed-fee contract review is only profitable if the first pass is fast, and diligence exercises across hundreds of leases or supply agreements consume associate hours that cannot be billed at the rate they cost.

With Clauzy

Each client gets its own playbook, so the firm's house positions travel with the matter. Bulk review produces a consistent clause-level ledger across a whole data room, and associates spend their time on the exceptions the ledger surfaces.
