Why Catylex?

Our Contract AI Just Works

AI is exciting and transformative, but it takes special skills and long hours to make it work in the real world. Other vendors expect you to spend weeks “training” their AI to get results. We don’t. We’ve done the hard yards so that it works out-of-the-box. You get the data you need, faster.

We’ve Cracked the Contract Data Code

How do you turn legalese into data? A big part of making Contract AI work is solving the data challenge. Most vendors over-simplify the problem by looking for a few dozen clauses. Our machines understand contracts using many thousands of concepts. Even if you only want to track a few dozen things, our fine-grained analysis will deliver the data quality you need.

10,000 Hours of Expertise

Why hasn’t anyone done this before? Put simply, it’s a very, very complicated problem – what Malcolm Gladwell calls a 10,000-hour problem. Luckily, the Catylex® team has decades of deep legal, business and data experience to crack the contract data code.

Legal Fire Drills Are Costly and Stressful

fire

Most in-house legal teams are very familiar with the chaotic fire drill that results from an unexpected event or crisis impacting their business.

expensive

The resultant fire drill of people searching for and speed-reading thousands – perhaps millions – of pages of complex legal language is stressful, error-prone and expensive (especially when outsourced to external counsel).

worldwide

It might be a geopolitical event like Brexit, a new law like GDPR, or an event of force majeure like the Covid-19 pandemic – suddenly everyone needs to know what, if anything, their contracts have to say.

no-time

Worst of all, some fire drills are expected to provide answers within hours or days so that management can take informed action while there’s still time – reading every contract is almost impossible.

CLM Without Data Is Like Farming Without Water

Given the importance of contracts, it’s no surprise that improving contract management is a high priority for most businesses.

A good CLM system can solve two big problems.

First, it can organize your contracts centrally and provide insight into what they say: the good, the bad and the risky.

Second, it can automate and streamline the process of creating, approving, negotiating, executing, performing and amending contracts.

In both cases, success is highly dependent on the quality of data that populates your CLM.

Without quality data, you’ll gain limited insight.

Without quality data, your contracting processes will still get stuck in human bottlenecks.

Running a CLM system with a trickle of data is like running a farm with a trickle of water: it’s better than nothing, but it won’t come close to its true potential.
