# Signed contract: dates and obligations tracker

> A tracker for dates and obligations extracted from a signed contract. Each row quotes or points to the clause. It does not decide that a clause is enforceable or that a breach has occurred.

## When to use it

Use after a contract is signed, to lift dates, notice periods and obligations into one list for the legal team. It is not a playbook review, a litigation hold, or an intake form.

## Used for these tasks

## How AI may be used

AI may copy a date or an obligation from a signed contract into a row and name the clause. The lawyer confirms the extraction and any consequence.

**AI may:**

- Copy a date, a notice period or an obligation that appears in the signed document
- Name the clause and the page
- Flag a clause that refers to a date defined elsewhere and not yet found

**AI must not:**

- Must not calculate a limitation period
- Must not say the other party is in breach
- Must not add an obligation that is not in the signed document

**The lawyer checks:**

- The row matches the signed clause, including any qualification in the same clause
- A defined term is read back to its definition
- No row is treated as a notice or a demand
