  • Publication number: 20240087067
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method that may include defining an object model containing a structural representation of events and artefacts through which contracts are created, changed, and brought to an end. The method may include accessing a machine learning classifier comprising a plurality of rule sets. The method may include applying the plurality of rule sets to one or more words of each corresponding contract document. The method may include linking identified one or more core attributes and one or more words of each corresponding contract document to an applicable object of the object model, determining prevailing terms of each corresponding contract document, and evaluating contract data variables and assigning a contract data risk value to one or more of contract data values. The method may include alerting a user when a contract risk exceeds a threshold value.

  • Patent number: 11861751
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a method of machine representation and tracking of contract terms over the lifetime of a contract including a step of defining an object model having object model components. Object model components are associated with other object model components where the object model components have object model component types. Further, words of object model components are evaluated to identify whether the words contain one or more core attributes pertaining to details of the contract terms. From the object model components, and the terms they contain, prevailing terms of the contract are evaluated, stored and updated as changes are made to the object model components.

  • Publication number: 20230214424
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a method of automatically updating a digitally stored model of an electronic contract over the lifetime of a contract, including a step of receiving an update to an attribute of a digitally stored contract model. Further, retrieving, from a digital data store, model description data and a plurality of answer values. Based on the model description data and answer values, creating a graph of answer data and variables required in the electronic contract as nodes and edges, where nodes represent the answer data and variables, and edges represent dependencies of the nodes. Next, removing edges that are determined from first variables to second variables that the first variables had been declared as using. From the update to the attributes of the contract model, removing one or more nodes corresponding to the one or more variables that are not directly referenceable by the document.

  • Patent number: 11055484
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed technologies are capable of detecting an edit in an edited document, mapping the edit to stored structured data, executing stored logic associated with the stored structured data to alter a stored template and/or alter the stored structured data and/or insert a candidate edit from a stored set of candidate edits into a reference document.
