## The panel's verdict

SpotDraft, a contract management platform from Draftspotting Technologies Private Limited, scores strongest on repository and obligations and weakest on sovereignty and AI extraction control. Repository credit rests on full-text search with metadata filters and saved views, granular permissions, linked parent, child and amendment contracts, scheduled recurring reports, and a beta obligations module whose tasks carry a cited clause, owner, frequency, priority, reminders, evidence attachments and an activity log. Sovereignty scores follow from terms and privacy policy captures: an Indian entity with a US affiliate, Google Cloud Platform hosting, data stored in the Netherlands, USA or India depending on location, and terms reserving pseudonymised analysis of user data for platform enhancement; we found no public subprocessor list, AI processing location or ISO 27001 / BSI C5 certification. Authoring and templates, negotiation and approval and integration and exit sit mid-range, crediting thirty-plus named integrations and the audit trail appended to executed documents. Scores span at most one point per criterion, with no flagged disagreements; pricing transparency scored 0 but is not counted in totals.

**Speaks for it:**
- Repository and obligations is the highest-scoring criterion, with full-text search, granular user permissions and linked parent, child and amendment contracts
- Obligation tasks carry a cited clause, owner, frequency, priority, reminders, evidence attachments and an activity log, and appear in the Task Center
- Contracts generate straight from Salesforce or HubSpot records through per-template questionnaires with conditional logic
- The signing audit trail, including IP addresses and geolocation, is appended to the executed document, with tampering detectable in Adobe Acrobat or other verification tools
- Thirty-plus named integrations include Salesforce, HubSpot, Coupa, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Okta and DocuSign

**Held against it:**
- Sovereignty scores 2-3, with contracting entity Draftspotting Technologies Private Limited in India, a US affiliate, and data stored in the Netherlands, USA or India on Google Cloud Platform
- We found no public information on a subprocessor list, the location of AI or OCR processing, or ISO 27001 and BSI C5 certifications
- The terms of use reserve the right to analyse user data on a pseudonymised basis for platform enhancement and to own aggregated or anonymised data indefinitely
- We found no public information on a documented API, the eIDAS level of the e-signature, or a bulk export carrying documents with metadata, versions and audit trail
- We found no published commitment excluding customer contracts from model training and no per-account way to disable AI

**Best for:**
- You need self-serve contract generation from Salesforce or HubSpot records using questionnaires and conditional logic
- Your priority is a searchable repository with linked amendments and obligations assigned to named owners, with reminders and evidence attachments
- Your team redlines in MS Word for Desktop and needs rule-based approvals gated before send or sign
- You want thirty-plus pre-built integrations across CRM, storage, SSO and e-signing, including Okta and DocuSign

**Avoid if:**
- You require EU hosting as standard and a published subprocessor list — the captured pages show the Netherlands as one of three possible regions under an Indian contracting entity with a US affiliate
- Your compliance terms must bar vendor analysis of your data — the terms of use reserve pseudonymised analysis for platform enhancement and ownership of aggregated or anonymised data
- You need long-dormant contracts to stay reachable — the terms state user accounts are deleted after twelve months of inactivity

## Scores by judge and criterion

### 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.
