## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Technology, Media & Telecommunications / IT Contracts](https://ailawframework.com/practice/technology-media-and-telecommunications-it-contracts.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Set the signed contract beside the issues list the parties last agreed and list each issue that the signed text does not address, or addresses in different words. Quote the clause and the issue. Do not propose replacement wording. |
| What the lawyer must review | Model Rule 1.1 requires the lawyer to bring the legal knowledge reasonably necessary for the representation. Formal Opinion 512 warns that a generative tool can produce plausible text that is wrong, so the lawyer checks every mismatch against the signed PDF before anyone relies on the list. Rule 1.6(a) and (c): contract text and the issues list are information relating to the representation and stay inside a tool configured to keep that information confidential. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: Set the signed contract beside the issues list the parties last agreed and list each issue that the signed text does not address, or addresses in different words. Quote the clause and the issue. Do not propose replacement wording.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- The comparison is a working list. It is not a mark-up for signature and it does not decide which side won an issue.
- State contract law, and any click-wrap or order of precedence the signed document states, decide what the contract means.
