The first pass takes minutes, not an afternoon.
A review that ran four hours by hand compresses to about thirty. The associate opens a document that has already been read, scored, and marked up.

Brief Forge is a contract-review instrument for solo lawyers and small firms. Drop in a contract; it extracts the terms that matter, scores every clause against market standard, and drafts the redlines — with its reasoning shown in the margin, the way a good associate would.

The method
Three movements, in order.
Every contract passes through the same disciplined sequence. Nothing is guessed at; each output carries its source, its score, or its reasoning.
-
I.
Extract
The AI reads the document and lifts 14+ structured fields — parties, term, governing law, caps, notice periods — each with a confidence ring and a citation that jumps straight back to the source clause.

II.
Score
Every clause is graded against market standard and flagged Unusual Market Favorable — so the ones that need a human are obvious before anyone opens the file.

Redline
Where a clause is off-market, Brief Forge drafts the edit as an inline diff — strike and replacement — with a written rationale and an approve / reject control, so the lawyer stays the author.

In practice
What changes on the matter.
02
Risk surfaces at intake, before partner review.
Off-market and unusual clauses are flagged the moment a contract lands — so the questions worth a partner's time are visible before the file is ever escalated.
03
Every redline is tracked, per matter.
Approvals and rejections are recorded against the matter, giving a clean, reportable record of what was changed and why — ready for the client.
For solo lawyers & small firms

- A pipeline of all firm matters in one sidebar
- Posture chips read at a glance across the book
- Redline history that reports cleanly to clients
