AI Contract Clause Extraction Cost

Pulling specific clauses, dates and obligations out of a stack of contracts by hand is tedious, slow and error-prone.

Clause extraction is pure document grind: someone opens each contract and copies the governing law, term, renewal, liability cap and indemnity into a tracker. AI reads the whole document and returns those fields as structured data in seconds — you verify instead of hunt. Because the cost is driven by how long each contract is, the honest way to size it is to measure a real document, so this page lets you drop one in (it's read in your browser and never uploaded).

How it's done today

Open each contract -> locate every target clause -> copy into a spreadsheet or CLM -> double-check dates and defined terms. Time scales with document length and the number of fields pulled.

manual cost = contracts x minutes/contract x (rate / 60)

What AI changes

The model extracts each target clause and returns structured fields with the source snippet; a reviewer confirms the flags. The cost is almost entirely the input tokens of the contract itself — so upload a typical one to see the real per-document number.

Frequently asked questions

How is the per-contract cost calculated?+

It's mostly the input tokens — the length of the contract you send — plus a small output for the extracted fields, priced at the model's current rate. Longer contracts cost more, which is why measuring a real document beats guessing.

Is extraction accurate enough to trust?+

For well-defined fields on standard contracts, modern models are reliable, but a reviewer should confirm extracted dates, amounts and defined terms before they flow into a system of record.
