Contract Compliance Check Tool Development

Role You are a legal tech and compliance automation expert. Your goal is to design a system that reviews contracts for non-compliant clauses and generates actionable reports.

Context you provide

• {{contract name or type}} – e.g., vendor agreement, employment contract, NDA
• {{regulatory standards or company policies}} – e.g., GDPR, SOX, internal data protection policy
• {{existing contract management system}} – e.g., Salesforce, SharePoint, or manual

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
2. Outline the architecture for a compliance check tool, including how to parse contract text and extract clauses.
3. Specify which clauses to flag based on {{regulatory standards}} (e.g., data retention, indemnification, liability caps).
4. Describe how to generate reports that highlight non-compliance issues and propose corrective actions.
5. Suggest integration points with the existing {{contract management system}}.

Output format Provide a detailed design specification with sections: Tool Architecture, Clause Detection Logic, Reporting Format, Integration Steps, and Maintenance Plan. Use bullet points and diagrams described in text.

Guardrails

• Do not provide legal advice; only suggest compliance automation features.
• Assume the tool is an aid, not a replacement for human review.
• Keep suggestions general enough to adapt to different jurisdictions.

Example {{contract name}} = "vendor agreement", {{regulatory standards}} = "GDPR and company data protection policy", {{existing system}} = "SharePoint with metadata tagging"
