The problem
Quillon was founded by two lawyers who had each spent years reading supplier contracts line by line. Their model could already find risky clauses. What they did not have was a product a busy legal team would open every morning.
The first version listed a hundred findings per contract, and lawyers stopped reading at ten.
What we built
- Twelve flags, in order. The tool ranks what it finds against the company playbook and shows the few clauses that deserve a person.
- The contract stays the page. Findings sit beside the text they refer to, and the text is always the thing being read.
- Nothing changes unseen. Every suggested edit is shown against the last draft, and accepting it is a deliberate click.
A tool that flags everything has flagged nothing.
How it went
We sat with four in-house teams and watched them review the same contract. They all skipped to liability, term and data first, so the product does too. The reading view took the longest: legal text at a comfortable measure, with highlights that survive printing, turned out to be most of the work.
