1. Gather the current version
Check the parties, date and revision. Include referenced schedules and amendments where available; list anything you have not received. A report cannot confirm the contents of a missing exhibit.
AI contract review for diligence
AI contract review before you commit to the deal
Upload an APA, FDD, commercial lease, or post-close employment agreement. Inkvex returns a risk score from 1 to 10 and explained findings with quotes where available. Paid lanes add jurisdiction-aware context, an Executive Deal Verdict, Cross-Reference Map, and Negotiation Points. The normal processing target is under 3 minutes. Large, scanned, or unusually dense files can take longer.

Illustrative APA example
Asset Purchase Agreement
Fictional figures show how a finding can connect an agreement section with a schedule. This is not a customer result.

Red flag
Suppose Section 7.3 caps specified indemnity claims at $500,000 and Schedule 4.2 lists $2.1 million of annual revenue from one customer. Those figures measure different things. Check the customer contract, representations and indemnity triggers together.
Question for counsel
If that customer leaves after closing, does a covered breach trigger a claim? Identify the missing contract or fact before proposing a remedy or changing the price.
How to review a contract with Inkvex
Start with the document that contains the decision you need to make.
2. Verify the findings
Read each material finding beside its source wording. Check amounts, dates and definitions. Separate a documented obligation from a question that needs the seller, landlord or franchisor to answer.
3. Decide what to escalate
Rank the issues by their effect on your deal. Give counsel the agreement, your business assumptions and the unresolved questions. Use the contract negotiation guide to prepare a specific business ask. The report does not replace a negotiated redline or signing advice.
See the sample memorandum, the APA review guide, or NDA review for a diligence file.
What the report helps you review
The report gives you the answer fast, then shows the evidence behind it.
Identify the obligation
Find payment commitments, renewal deadlines, liability provisions and restrictions that need a closer read. Check each finding against the uploaded text.
Trace the supporting language
Use quoted excerpts and clause references, where available, to see which wording supports a finding and which facts still need checking.
Prepare questions for counsel
Take the unresolved issues and proposed negotiation points to your attorney. Counsel decides the legal effect and drafts the agreed changes.

Primary hub
acquisition contract reviewBuilt for confidential contract review
Serious contracts need serious handling, clear boundaries, and a review flow that respects the stakes.
Analyzed, then gone
Your contract is processed to generate the report. It is not kept as a contract database and it is not used to train the product.
Structured output, not generic chat
Inkvex focuses on quoted clauses, risk scoring, missing protections, suggested fixes, and decision support.
Use Inkvex first, then escalate if needed
For high-value, negotiated, or specialized matters, take the report to counsel and spend legal time on the clauses that actually matter.

Asset Purchase Agreement - Sample Analysis
Fictional APA example. A score organizes attention; it does not establish that a deal is safe or a clause is enforceable.
8risk score
High red flag
Seller-note treatment needs lender confirmation. Check the note against the financing terms and ask the lender which current program requirements apply to this transaction.
High red flag
Read the cap with the available remedy. Trace a covered claim through the basket, survival period, carve-outs and escrow. The purchase price alone does not tell you whether the remedy addresses the risk.
Before you upload
The answers below cover the practical concerns most people have before trusting a contract to AI.
What is AI contract review?
AI contract review uses structured analysis to read legal agreements, flag risky clauses, detect missing protections, and explain the contract with clause source and citation. Inkvex turns that into a report you can act on quickly.
How should buyers evaluate AI contract review?
Look for sourced clauses, missing-protection checks, uncertainty notes, buyer-specific context, and attorney-ready questions. Inkvex is built for APAs, FDDs, commercial leases, and related deal documents, but the report is still a first pass before legal judgment.
When should an M&A or franchise attorney review the contract?
Use counsel for legal judgment, negotiation language, local law, and signing decisions. Inkvex helps you bring a sourced issue list, quoted clauses, and specific questions to the attorney call.
What file types can I upload?
Inkvex accepts PDF, Word (.docx), and image uploads including JPG, PNG, and WEBP. That includes photos of printed contracts.
How much does Inkvex cost?
