Customers Love TermScout
A great way to reduce negotiation time in B2B contracting. Great team, helpful support. TermScout is really leading the way to make contracting easier for B2B organizations like mine.
Alex Raymond
Founder & CEO
TermScout Gives Contract Negotiators a Significant Edge and Approvers Excellent Risk Transparency. I really enjoy working with the TS team and honing the software to be a key piece of the workflow for many clients who have high-volume contracts and limited people resources to review each one.

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.
1. Submit an Agreement for Analysis
Certify analyzes common procurement agreement types, including NDAs, DPAs, IT agreements, and service agreements.
2. Analyze and Benchmark the Agreement
Analyze and Benchmark the Agreement
3. See Contract Signals and Negotiation Priorities
See which terms are market-aligned, which terms are likely to create redlines, and which agreements need escalation.See which terms are market-aligned, which terms are likely to create redlines, and which agreements need escalation.
Decide Whether to Approve, Escalate, or Negotiate
Use contract signals and market benchmarks to decide whether an agreement can move forward, needs negotiation, or should be escalated to legal.
Frequently Asked Questions
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
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?
