Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The General Counsel

Weighted verdict

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.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Drafting, templates & clause library

How this is scored

Creating a contract without starting from an old one: templates with variables and conditional clauses, an approved clause library, self-service generation for business teams, and support for German-language and German-law templates.

0 — No drafting at all; contracts are uploaded as finished files.

3 — Templates with simple placeholders, but no conditional logic, no clause library, and every draft still edited by hand by legal.

5 — Templates with variables and conditional clauses, a clause library with approved fallbacks, a questionnaire or form that lets business users generate standard contracts, and German-language templates supported.

8 — Template and clause versioning with an owner per clause, multilingual templates from one source, generation from CRM or procurement records, playbook rules that flag deviations from approved wording, and template use reported.

10 — Drafting is governed end to end: every clause traceable to its approved version and owner, deviations from the playbook visible on every draft, bilingual German–English contracts generated side by side, and templates exportable in an open format.

Report an error

The General Counsel

Templates are genuinely there — a public library of 175 legal templates, a clause library of clauses actually used in real contracts, self-service generation for business users, and contracts built from HubSpot or Salesforce deal records. What I found no public information on is conditional clause logic, an approved clause library with fallback positions, or clause versioning with an owner per clause, which is what my team drafts against; German-law content appears only as individual DE and AT templates. 7 7 6 14 1

Negotiation, redlining & approval

How this is scored

Getting from draft to agreed text with a counterparty and through internal sign-off: redlining in Word and in the browser, external collaboration, version comparison, approval workflows, and a record of who approved which version.

0 — No negotiation support; versions are emailed back and forth outside the system.

3 — Comments and a version list inside the system, but no redline comparison, no Word round-trip, and approvals handled by email.

5 — Redlining with tracked changes, a Word add-in or round-trip that keeps changes, counterparty access without a licence, version comparison, and configurable approval steps by contract type or value.

8 — Conditional approval routing (value, deviation from playbook, risk), parallel and sequential approvers with delegation, an audit trail of every change and approval per version, and internal comments kept separate from what the counterparty sees.

10 — Negotiation is an auditable record: every concession traceable to who proposed and who approved it, approval rules an auditor or the board can read, negotiation duration reported per contract type, and the full history exportable with the signed version.

Report an error

The General Counsel

Browser redlining with one-by-one accept or reject, counterparties reviewing and commenting without an account, version comparison pitched at catching what the other side's lawyer quietly changed, and sequential or parallel approval chains with escalation reminders and a named, timestamped change history. Routing is conditional on contract step rather than on value or deviation from approved wording, and I found no public information on a Word round-trip that keeps changes, on delegation between approvers, or on internal comments kept separate from what the counterparty sees. 9 8 1 10

Report an error

Repository, deadlines & obligations

How this is scored

Knowing what has been signed and what it requires: a searchable repository with metadata, notice periods and renewal dates captured and reminded, obligations tracked to an owner, access rights by department, and reporting on the portfolio.

0 — A file store with folders; no metadata, no dates and no reminders.

3 — Metadata fields and an end date with an email reminder, but notice periods and auto-renewal are not modelled and reminders go to one person.

5 — Notice periods, renewal terms and end dates modelled as fields, reminders with escalation to named owners, full-text search including scanned contracts (OCR), and access rights per department or contract type.

8 — Obligations and milestones tracked with owners and status, contract hierarchies (framework, amendments, orders) linked, reminders logged so a missed deadline can be traced, and portfolio reports on renewals, value and counterparties.

10 — The repository is a system of record a company can be audited on: every deadline derived from a cited clause, reminders and their acknowledgements logged, retention and deletion rules per contract type, and a portfolio view a CFO can use for commitments and cancellations.

Report an error

The General Counsel

Parties, term and notice period are extracted into the repository at signing, with configurable reminders and repeat rules to named owners, a live deadline calendar, a notice-period calculator, and values, durations, tags and statuses exportable into Looker, Power BI or Tableau. I found no public information on contract hierarchies linking framework agreements to amendments and orders, or on deadlines traceable to the cited clause they derive from. 11 10 14 15 13

AI extraction & review transparency

How this is scored

Whether the AI that extracts dates and clauses or reviews a draft is disclosed, verifiable and controllable: named model provider and processing location, no training on customer contracts, extracted values shown with their source passage, and features the customer can switch off. A product without AI features is judged on stating so.

0 — AI extraction or review is marketed with no statement of the model, where it runs, or what happens to the contract text.

3 — AI features described as a benefit with a general privacy assurance, but no model provider named, no statement on training, and extracted values shown without their source.

5 — The model provider or subprocessor named, a stated commitment not to train on customer contracts, extracted values linked to the source passage for confirmation, and AI features that can be disabled per account.

8 — AI processing available within the EU, each AI feature documented with its purpose and inputs, accuracy or confidence shown per extracted field, review results traceable to the playbook rule that triggered them, and an EU AI Act position published.

10 — AI is an accountable assistant: customer choice of model or EU-only processing, no retention of contract text by the model provider stated contractually, every AI-suggested value logged with who confirmed or corrected it, and AI off by default until the customer enables it.

Report an error

The General Counsel

AI is marketed hard — analysis, review, summary, search, drafting — and extracted metadata is held for my confirmation before it is permanently saved, with a re-run option, which is a real control. But the captured pages give only a general GDPR assurance: I found no public information on the model provider, on whether customer contracts are used for training, on where AI processing runs, on an EU AI Act position, or on extracted values linked to their source passage, and for my clients' contract text that silence decides it. 13 12 15 3

Integrations, signature & exit

How this is scored

How contracts connect to the rest of the company and leave it again: CRM, procurement and ERP integration, e-signature (and which eIDAS level), SSO, an API, and a documented export of documents together with their metadata, versions and audit trail.

0 — No integrations, no API and no stated export; contracts can only be downloaded one by one.

3 — One CRM or storage integration and a bulk download of files, but metadata, versions and audit trail stay behind.

5 — A documented API, integrations with named CRM and storage systems, e-signature integrated with the level stated (simple, advanced or qualified), SSO, and a bulk export of documents with their metadata.

8 — Maintained integrations with systems common in DACH (SAP, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, DATEV-connected or procurement tools), qualified electronic signature available, webhooks, SCIM, and an export that includes versions, approvals and audit trail in an open format.

10 — Exit is designed in: a versioned API with a deprecation policy, a documented migration path in and out with the format stated, deletion after contract end confirmed, and the full repository — files, metadata, obligations and history — handed back without a professional-services fee.

Report an error

The General Counsel

A documented REST API with an account-pinned version and a changelog, signed and retried webhooks, SCIM, SAML single sign-on, HubSpot and Salesforce integration, bulk API import with extraction, and all three eIDAS signature levels including qualified, with a published directory of eIDs and their levels. Exit is asserted rather than documented — the pages state "full export anytime" and I found no public information on what such an export includes, its format, or on SAP, Microsoft 365 or DATEV connections. 14 15 15 2

Report an error

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Who the contracting entity is, where contracts and their extracted data are hosted, and who the subprocessors are — including the AI and OCR providers the text is passed to. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; weighted with care here because a contract repository holds a company's most confidential commitments and those of its counterparties.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and AI processing of unclear location.

3 — EU hosting offered as an option while the contracting entity is non-EU, or the subprocessor list is absent, or AI and OCR processing run outside the EU without saying so.

5 — EU hosting as standard and an EU contracting entity, but parts of the chain — AI models, OCR, email delivery, support — are non-EU without an explained safeguard.

8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessor list published including AI and OCR providers with locations, and a DPA covering contract data as the customer's processing.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: vendor, entity, hosting and every subprocessor European, AI processing within the EU on providers the customer can see, certifications (ISO 27001, BSI C5 or equivalent) published.

Report an error

The General Counsel

The contracting entity is fynk GmbH at a Vienna address with the Vienna commercial court register number FN580816t and an Austrian VAT ID, and hosting is stated as ISO 27001-certified data centres in Germany — the two pillars I look for. Behind them the chain is undocumented: I found no public information on a published subprocessor list, on the AI or OCR providers that contract text is passed to and their locations, or on a data-processing agreement covering customer contract data beyond a customizable DPA offered in the pro tier. 4 15 3 2

Report an error

Pricing transparency

How this is scored

Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: the pricing basis (per user, per contract, per module), which features sit in which tier, add-ons for AI, e-signature volume or integrations, onboarding and migration fees, and the minimum term.

0 — No public prices at all; every tier is a sales conversation.

3 — A starting price exists, but the pricing basis (users, contracts, modules) or which features sit in which tier is unstated — the invoice is unknowable.

5 — Tier prices public with the pricing basis and main limits given, but at least one commonly needed piece (AI features, signature volume, integrations, extra users or onboarding) is unpriced.

8 — Every tier priced publicly with its basis and limits, add-on prices listed, onboarding and migration costs stated, minimum term and VAT treatment given.

10 — Complete price computability: annual invoice derivable for a given number of users, contracts and signatures, with every add-on, overage and implementation fee published.

Report an error

The General Counsel

The captured pricing page shows a free tier with unlimited documents, a claim of clear prices and no hidden costs, and named pro-tier features such as a success manager, SAML single sign-on and a custom SLA and DPA, alongside the statement that signatures are included with no envelope fee. I found no public euro figures, no pricing basis in users, contracts or modules, and no minimum term or onboarding costs, so a buyer cannot compute an annual invoice from the public pages. 2 1
