Use case

Hundreds of NDAs per quarter. No bottleneck.

NDA volume is the highest-frequency, lowest-margin contract surface in most enterprises. Manual review of every NDA produces backlog. Auto-accepting everything produces risk. Adaptive intent draws the line where it should be: at the risk-tier gate, not at the draft.

The operational reality

Why this workflow breaks under templated CLM.

Templated CLM forces a choice: many narrow NDA templates (which break under variance) or a few broad ones (which require manual triage). Either way, throughput suffers. The architectural fix isn't a better template — it's intent-classified routing with risk-tier auto-accept.

How it works

NDA throughput at scale — orchestrated.

  1. 01

    Intent classified

    Saige Assist reads the NDA context — counterparty, relationship, term length, jurisdiction — and classifies the request by intent and risk profile.

    Governance · All inputs loggedOutcome · Risk tier determined
  2. 02

    Path assembled by tier

    Standard mutual NDAs route through low-friction paths; one-way NDAs from new counterparties route through deeper review; high-risk NDAs (M&A targets, IP-sensitive) escalate automatically.

  3. 03

    Draft assembled

    Saige Assist assembles clauses from your approved NDA library — your standard language, your jurisdictional preferences, your IP carve-outs.

  4. 04

    Auto-accept within thresholds

    Counterparty redlines classified by intent. Changes within established risk thresholds auto-accept; material changes route for human approval.

  5. 05

    Signed and tracked

    Signature, obligations extracted, expiration tracked. Confidentiality term-end surfaces ahead of expiration.

Common questions

Questions teams ask about nda throughput at scale.

  • Won't auto-accept create risk?

    Auto-accept thresholds are part of your governance configuration. Saige Assist operates within them. The threshold isn't "AI judgment" — it's your established risk policy applied consistently.

  • What about non-standard NDAs from new counterparties?

    Those route through deeper review automatically. Adaptive routing matches review depth to actual risk, not to template category.

  • How do we handle expirations?

    Confidentiality term-ends are tracked from signature. Expirations surface ahead of the term-end with reminders to renew, extend, or close.

  • Can our outside counsel see the same workflow?

    Yes. External counsel access is role-appropriate; provenance preserved for any outside-counsel actions.
