## The panel's verdict

Diliforce — formerly ContractZen, from ContractZen Ltd — is a cloud contract repository on Microsoft Azure whose evidenced strength is intake and organization: mass import of hundreds of documents, AI-based metadata extraction into SmartIndex folder structures, reminders for key dates, a due diligence index, and assisted onboarding by the vendor's team. The scoring follows that shape. Repository and obligations, at 3 to 4, carries the highest scores in this verdict, while authoring and templates and negotiation and approval sit at 0 — we found no public information on templates, redlining or approval workflows, so drafting and sign-off would happen outside the product. AI extraction control ranged 0 to 1: we found no public information on which model reads the contracts, where processing runs, or whether contract text is used for training. Integration and exit landed at 2, resting on Microsoft and Google single sign-on plus Android and iOS apps. Sovereignty ranged 2 to 3, and we found no public information on hosting region, subprocessors or the contracting entity's domicile. Readings clustered rather than split; no prices appear in the public material.

**Speaks for it:**
- Mass import of hundreds of documents at once, with AI-based metadata extraction into SmartIndex folder structures
- Reminders for key dates and a due diligence index — the basis for the verdict's top scores, 3 to 4 on repository and obligations
- Assisted onboarding in which the vendor's team imports, organizes, tags, sets reminders and prepares the due diligence index for you
- The vendor states that no installation is required and that only minimal training is needed

**Held against it:**
- Authoring and templates scored 0; we found no public information on templates, variables, clause libraries or in-product drafting
- Negotiation and approval scored 0; we found no public information on redlining, version comparison or approval workflows
- AI extraction control ranged 0 to 1; we found no public information on the model provider, where processing runs, or training use of contract text
- Integration and exit scored 2 — Microsoft and Google sign-on plus Android and iOS apps are the only evidenced connections
- Sovereignty ranged 2 to 3; beyond the Azure name, we found no public information on hosting region, subprocessors or the contracting entity's domicile

**Best for:**
- You hold a large archive of finished, already-signed contracts and need it imported, tagged and filed rather than drafted
- You want reminders for key dates and a due diligence index on top of organized folder structures
- You want the vendor's team to run migration and setup for you — import, tagging, reminders and due diligence preparation
- Your team authenticates through Microsoft or Google and works from Android or iOS devices

**Avoid if:**
- You need to draft from templates, redline with counterparties and route internal approvals inside the product — authoring and negotiation both scored 0
- You must satisfy sovereignty requirements before signing — ask the vendor: the public pages we read do not show it
- You would rely on AI-extracted values for notice dates without verifying them against the source text — the procurement reading warns of exactly that risk

### The judges

- **The General Counsel** (v1.0): Runs a three-lawyer legal team that negotiates every supplier and customer contract in Word with the other side's counsel. Wants approved clauses with fallbacks, redlines that survive the round-trip, and an approval on record for every deviation — not a sign-off by email.
- **The Procurement Analyst** (v1.0): Holds four hundred supplier contracts and the Kündigungsfristen nobody else remembers. Wants notice periods and auto-renewals modelled rather than typed into a note, reminders that escalate to a named owner, and a portfolio report that shows what can be cancelled this quarter.
- **The Sales Ops Owner** (v1.0): Owns the quote-to-signature path for a sales team that closes standard deals without legal. Wants contracts generated from the CRM record, approvals that route by discount and value, signature in the same flow, and a price she can put in next year's budget.
- **The IT Integrator** (v1.0): Connects the CLM to SAP, Microsoft 365 and the CRM, and will be the one migrating out of it. Wants a versioned API, SSO and SCIM, qualified signature where the law asks for it, and an export that brings back metadata, versions and audit trail — not a ZIP of PDFs.
- **The Data Protection Officer** (v1.0): Reads the subprocessor list before the feature page. Asks which model provider receives contract text, whether it is retained or used for training, where OCR runs, and whether the counterparties' personal data in every contract is covered by the DPA.
- **The Skeptic** (v1.0): Has seen "AI that reads your contracts" miss a notice period buried in an amendment. Reads for an extraction accuracy nobody states, "Word integration" that loses tracked changes, "never miss a renewal" with reminders to one inbox, and an export that leaves the metadata behind.
