The CYNERSA Contract Operations Audit · Available now

Know exactly where AI belongs in your contract review, and where it does not.

A contract operations and AI readiness audit for teams that review contracts by hand. In four weeks you get a map of how contracts actually move through your organization, a clause risk profile built from your own agreements, a human-in-the-loop design, and a 90-day plan you can defend to your General Counsel, your CFO, and your board.

Who This Is For

You have been told to "look at AI." Nobody told you how to do it safely.

The audit is built for a contract manager or a small legal team at a mid-sized organization, reviewing roughly 20 to 200 contracts a month, mostly by hand. Leadership is pushing toward AI tools. You are the one who will be blamed if a tool misses something. You have no framework for deciding what AI should touch, what a human must own, and how to prove the decision afterward. The audit gives you that framework and a defensible answer in 30 days.

If you are the contract manager

You own the queue. The audit turns what you already know into a documented, measured picture that makes the case for the resources and the process you need, and it makes you the person who brought the answer.

If you are the General Counsel or COO

You want the efficiency without the liability. The audit tells you where AI assistance is low-risk and high-value, where it is not, and what governance has to exist before any tool touches an agreement.

If you are in entertainment or media

Talent, music and sync licensing, venue, vendor, and brand deals are high volume, repetitive, and playbook-driven. That is where review discipline pays fastest. The founder brings 26 years of contract experience across entertainment, real estate, and enterprise, including more than 15 years managing enterprise contracts in professional sports, global media, and healthcare, including the sync licenses behind major live broadcast events.

What You Receive

Seven deliverables. Every one of them written down.

01

Contract workflow map

How contracts arrive, who touches them, where they wait, and where decisions are made, measured in days and hands.

02

Contract type inventory and clause risk profile

Which types dominate your volume and which clauses generate the disputes, built from a sample of 10 to 25 of your real agreements run through the CYNERSA playbooks.

03

AI use-case prioritization

A ranked list of three to five review tasks where AI should assist, with the human decision point marked on each one.

04

Human-in-the-loop review and escalation design

Who reviews what, what confidence level triggers escalation, and what gets recorded. The Human Layer™ as an operating procedure for your team.

05

Governance and vendor evaluation checklist

The data privacy, security, retention, and vendor questions your organization must answer before any AI tool touches a contract.

06

90-day roadmap with named owners

What to do first, who does it, and what it depends on. Built to survive the meeting where someone asks "so what do we actually do Monday?"

07

Success criteria for what comes next

Measurable targets: review time per contract, flags caught versus missed, reviewer confidence. Whatever you do after the audit gets a definition of done before it starts, so it cannot fail on ambiguity.

What we promise, and what we do not

We promise a documented, defensible picture of your contract operations and a prioritized plan. We do not promise specific cost savings, headcount outcomes, legal compliance, or that any AI tool will reach a given accuracy. You are paying for the truth about readiness. That is the product.

Process

Four weeks, start to readout.

1

Week one: intake

Every engagement begins with a conflict check before any documents are shared. Then a kickoff call, document request, and a signed data handling agreement.

2

Week two: interviews and sample review

Workflow interviews with two or three people who touch contracts, and the sample agreements run through the playbooks.

3

Week three: findings

CYNERSA drafts the deliverables. You see nothing generic; every page is about your contracts and your team.

4

Week four: readout

A 60 to 90 minute readout with the contract owner and their leader, followed by the written report.

Pricing

Three tiers. One founder doing the work.

Every audit is led by CYNERSA's founder. The first three organizations receive a founding rate of 30 percent off the prices below in exchange for a reference and a short case study once the work is done.

After the Audit

The audit names the work. The retainer does it.

Most audits end with the same finding: the team needs senior contract judgment a few hours a week, not another full-time hire and not another tool. That is CYNERSA on Retainer: five to ten hours a week, month to month, with the audit fee credited against the first month. If the audit says you do not need it, the report will say so.

Submitting this form does not create a contract or an attorney-client relationship. CYNERSA is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. The audit is an operational and informational engagement, not legal counsel. We use your details only to respond to this inquiry. See our Privacy Policy.

One more thing before you decide.
