Leela
Setup

Product.

What Leela does with a contract, in the order a negotiation needs it. Everything below runs from an email. The app is where the record lives.

Setup See how it works

One email in. The issues list, the redline and the note out. Then the next round.

Most tools review one draft and stop. Leela keeps the matter: what was asked for, what was conceded, what came back changed. Every turn adds to the same record.

Review

Forward the draft and say which side you are on. She reviews against your playbook and returns the work in the thread.

  1. The issues list

    Each issue cites its clause and states the problem, the risk and what to ask for instead. Ranked by cost to you. Accept, drop or edit each one by replying.

  2. The redline

    Real Word tracked changes with margin comments, on their paper or yours. Formatting survives. It is ready to forward when you have read it.

  3. The note

    What she changed, what she left and why, and the points that need your decision. One question if the brief was unclear.

Returned drafts

Forward their return. She compares it with the version you sent, not the original, and re-states the issues list for the round.

  1. Moved, held, new

    Each position marked accepted, countered or ignored. New clauses flagged. Points you won closed, points they reopened reopened.

  2. Unmarked changes

    A clean sign-back with a different governing law. A conformed copy with a shorter claim window and no revision mark. She reads the text, not the cover note.

  3. Your side's changes

    A commercial term agreed on a call and emailed to you lands in the next redline, with its source recorded on the issue.

Playbooks

Your positions, applied to every draft.

  1. From your signed agreements

    Send the contracts you actually signed. She drafts the playbook: standard position, fallback and walk-away per issue, each citing its clause.

  2. Or in an email

    "Liability capped at 12 months of fees, 18 as a fallback, never uncapped." A page is enough. Edit by replying.

  3. Held, not improvised

    A concession beyond the fallback goes to you as a question, never into the draft. A preference stated once is kept.

Documents

Everything you do to a Word file, without leaving the thread.

  • Read

    Tracked changes, comments, tables, headers and footnotes come out with authors and dates. Ask what changed and who changed it.

  • Decide

    Their tracked changes become a worklist. Accept, reject or counter each, and the decision lands in the file as a Word revision.

  • Compare

    Any two versions, or any two contracts, word by word. Each change typed and located.

  • Format

    Numbering and cross-references repaired without touching the language. Your house style applied to an inbound document.

  • Edit

    Rename a defined term everywhere. Fold agreed commercial terms into the clause they belong in. Fix the dates in the index.

  • Export

    Clean, redline, with or without comments. Fonts, spacing and numbering intact on the other side.

Analysis

A set of documents read as one, not one at a time.

  1. A stack together

    The agreements, their amendments, the side letters and the new draft. One issues list and one redline, cited to every document.

  2. Against a control document

    A side letter against the term sheet. A facility agreement against the sanction letter. Every deviation quoted from both sides.

  3. Questions across the set

    "What consents does the new round trigger?" Every answer cites its clause in each document. When a contract is silent, she says so.

Drafting

Describe the deal and she drafts the agreement.

  1. Describe the deal

    Parties, terms and positions in an email or a form. Word-native from the first line.

  2. Pick a house style

    Voice, numbering and layout as a bundle. New York, Silicon Valley, UK, India or your own. No reformatting pass before it goes out.

The record

Every draft, redline and turn, in order, per matter. Ask her anything about it in the thread or in the app. Settled points stay settled. Export to Word or your document system when the deal closes.

Leela drafts and proposes. You decide. Nothing changes a document until you say so, and nothing reaches the other side unless you send it.

Send her the draft on your desk.
