How Certify Changes Procurement Review

Traditional procurement review relies on manual reading, inconsistent escalation, and limited visibility into vendor terms. Certify gives procurement teams a contract intelligence system to analyze agreements, benchmark terms, and act on contract signals before approvals stall.

Step 1

1. Submit an Agreement for Analysis

Certify analyzes common procurement agreement types, including NDAs, DPAs, IT agreements, and service agreements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Certify benchmark vendor terms?

Certify analyzes procurement agreements at the clause level, focusing on how vendors allocate risk and define governance.

It examines:

-Liability structures (caps, exclusions, uncapped exposure)
-Indemnity provisions
-Termination rights
-Data, security, and operational governance clauses
-Any terms that signal risk allocation, control, or vendor posture

How does Certify benchmark vendor terms?

Certify™ uses structured analysis and market benchmarking to generate contract signals for procurement teams.

Specifically:

-Each clause is compared to thousands of live agreements
-Terms are evaluated against market ranges and norms
-Deviations are quantified (e.g., within range, outside range, materially outside)

This allows procurement to answer questions like:

-Is this liability position standard or aggressive?
-Is this vendor an outlier or consistent with peers?
-Where are we outside our own policy thresholds?

How does Certify support Triage, Monitor, and Profile?

Certify completes and strengthens the full procurement intelligence model:

  • Triage (Intake Intelligence)

  • Uses contract signals to inform escalation decisions

Helps procurement decide what actually needs review

-Monitor (Change Intelligence)

  • Provides baseline context so post-approval changes are meaningful

  • Detects when vendor terms drift away from approved positions

-Certify Profile (Portfolio Intelligence)

  • Aggregates all agreements into a vendor- and portfolio-level view

  • Enables:

  • Side-by-side vendor comparison

  • Risk concentration analysis

  • Consistent decision-making across agreements

How is Certify different from CLM and workflow tools?

Certify is not a replacement for CLM, it is a different layer entirely.

  • Certify turns vendor contracts into structured, benchmarked signals for procurement decision-making.
  • CLM manages contracts. Certify explains them.
  • From agreement review to portfolio governance.
