Workflow

Start with the contract, then move from review into rewrite and export.

Step 1

Upload the contract

Start from the contract PDF, SOW, retainer, or NDA and let BrieflyGo build the review context.

Step 2

Run the risk review

Focus on payment timing, revision scope, ownership language, and termination terms that can turn expensive later.

Step 3

Open the Workbench editor

Move from findings into the editor so the riskiest clause can be rewritten before you export or sign.

Step 4

Export the cleaned final draft

Keep the original intact and produce a clearer final version for client comments or signature.

Outcome

What you get

A report that shows the riskiest clauses in plain English.
A saved Workbench session you can reopen later.
A cleaner path from review to rewrite to final export.
