This enhancement provides better transparency and helps maintain consistency in your contract review process. Read more

In Context Rule Modifications for Gerri

One of the best times to create and adjust rules in the playbook is in the context of looking at an redline evaluation of an agreement. We're excited to add a new feature to the redline evaluations that gives users the ability to create or modify rules directly from the evaluation itself, and handing that context to the Gerri rule chat to suggest a rule. In addition to just creating a rule, users can also opt to spin that rule such that it will 'Always accept' or 'Always reject' the change from the evaluation. This help users quickly hone their Gerri playbook as new agreements come in and are evaluated. Read more

Users can watch as the redlines are evaluated one by one and start reviewing them before the entire review is completed. Read more
