Read every clause. Never the same one twice.
ZAAN reads contracts the way a senior associate would, and surfaces only what deserves your attention. Built for teams that bill by the hour but live by the line.

§ 7.2, Confidentiality & Survival
"…shall survive in perpetuity, save for trade secrets…"
- Clause-level diff, against your firm's playbook, italic-precise.
- Cited reasoning, every flag links to source. No black box.
- Drafted in your voice, redlines learn from past markups.
- Privileged by design, zero-retention, per-tenant encryption.
Reasoning
Perpetual survival is inconsistent with your playbook's 5-year default for commercial NDAs. Trade secret carve-out matches policy.
Suggested redline
in perpetuity for a period of five (5) years
Capabilities
Three surfaces, one quiet engine.
Every part of ZAAN is built around the same idea: legal work is best when the tool gets out of the way. We move fast for you, then disappear.
REVIEW.ENGINE · v4.2
Review
Open a draft. ZAAN reads it against your playbooks, flags risk, and suggests redlines you can accept inline. Click any flag and read the reasoning. Disagree, and we learn.
DRAFT.ENGINE · v3.9
Draft
Compose new contracts from your firm's house style. ZAAN drafts the boilerplate, you spend your hours on the deal points. Every output is fully cited and tracked.
RECALL.ENGINE · v2.7
Recall
Ask anything across your matter history. "How did we handle MAC clauses for tech buyers in 2024?" Answers come with the precedents, in seconds.

In their words
From the people who actually use it.
We don't run testimonials past marketing. These are unedited, on the record, and from teams who renewed.
"We didn't replace anyone. We just stopped losing weekends. The associate who used to dread Friday afternoons now looks forward to them."
"The reasoning panel is the part nobody else builds well. I can audit the AI in five seconds. That's why my GC let us deploy it."
"The translation layer alone is worth it. We close cross-border deals where neither side speaks English natively, and ZAAN keeps both halves of the contract honest."
"We piloted three platforms. ZAAN was the only one whose suggestions our partners actually accepted. The voice is right."

Citations, Not Confidence: Why We Ship a Reasoning Panel With Every Flag
A confidence score is a black box wearing a lab coat. We chose citations instead. Every ZAAN flag opens onto the specific clause, playbook rule, and precedent that produced it, and every partner can audit the AI in under five seconds.

We don't do demo theatre. Send us a contract you've already reviewed, and we'll show you what ZAAN sees in it. If we waste your time, tell us, and we'll send a bottle of something to apologise.
