How it works

How Clausebeam reads your contracts

A clause-level analysis model built for the specific language patterns that matter in commercial agreements.

34 clause types PDF & DOCX Deal room view

Detection model

From document to clause flags in minutes

Clausebeam does not read documents as blocks of text. It identifies clause boundaries, assigns each clause to one of 34 clause types, and measures that clause against market-norm language for the contract category. An indemnification clause in a SaaS MSA is measured against SaaS MSA market norms, not a generic template.

Deal room view

Cross-document clause patterns

When you upload a full deal room, Clausebeam doesn't just flag clauses per document. It surfaces patterns across the entire stack: which clause types are consistently off-market across all agreements, where one document deviates from the others.

Up to 50 documents per deal room

Practice plan. Firm plan supports up to 200 documents.

Output format

Flag reports attorneys can act on

The output is not a raw list of anomalies. It is a structured flag report: clause type, risk level, the exact flagged language with section reference, and the deviation note that tells the reviewing attorney why this clause is off-market and what the exposure is.
