Their paper in. A sent email out.
Latitude does the first pass a lawyer would do if they had the hours — against the positions your company already holds, in the document the counterparty sent.
Their paper
Meridian Cloud — Vendor MSA
Limitation of liability
§ 9.2Supplier's total liability shall not exceed the fees paid in the three (3) months preceding the claim. twelve (12) months preceding the claim, save that no cap shall apply to liability arising from breach of confidentiality, data protection obligations or indemnified IP claims
Your playbook
12 months' fees, with no cap on data breach or IP indemnity.
Escalate — outside fallback range
1/5Synthetic agreement. Illustration only.
A synthetic vendor MSA reviewed against a synthetic playbook. Each deviation carries a severity your playbook set, and where an approved fallback exists it is drafted straight in.
How it works
Five steps, on every agreement that lands
It learns your positions from what you already signed
You do not write a playbook from scratch. Latitude reads your executed agreements and past redlines and infers the positions you actually hold — your preferred wording, what you conceded and how often, and where you have never moved.
You review and confirm the inferred playbook before it is used on anything. Nothing is enforced that a person has not signed off.
Every deviation, with a severity you can act on
Their paper is compared clause by clause against your playbook. Each deviation is flagged as a blocker, a caution, or within playbook — so the person holding the document knows immediately what they can wave through and what they cannot.
Severity is set by your playbook, not by us. If limitation of liability is a blocker at your company, it is a blocker here.
The fallback is inserted, not just requested
Where your playbook has an approved fallback, Latitude drafts it into the document as a tracked change — their language struck, yours inserted — so what goes back to the counterparty is a real redline rather than a list of complaints.
Tracked changes in the actual Word file, so the counterparty sees a document they can work with.
And the email that has to go with it
A redline with no explanation gets a phone call. Latitude drafts the covering note in your house tone: what changed, why, which points are firm and which are open, and what you need back to sign.
Edit and send. The draft is a starting point, never something that goes out on its own.
Only the ones that genuinely need a lawyer
A deviation outside every approved fallback, a clause the playbook has never seen, or anything on your escalation list goes to legal with the context already assembled — the clause, the position, the history, and what has been agreed elsewhere.
The point is not that legal sees less. It is that legal sees the right ones, with the work already done.
Severity
Three answers, so the person holding the document knows what to do
A list of every difference between two contracts is not review, it is noise. Severity is what turns a diff into a decision — and it is set by your playbook, not by us.
Outside every approved fallback, or on your escalation list. Stops here and goes to a lawyer with the context assembled.
Outside your preferred position but inside an approved fallback. The fallback is drafted in and the deal keeps moving.
Within your position as drafted. No change, no flag, no time spent.
A worked example
Synthetic agreement and playbook. Illustration only.
Nobody is pasting a contract into another tab
The review happens in Word, as tracked changes in the file the counterparty sent, because that is the file that is going back to them. The status lands in whatever queue the business raised the request in, so the requester can see progress without chasing.
A tool that requires a new place to work is a tool that gets used for the first three contracts and then quietly abandoned.
Named integrations are agreed per engagement. Latitude claims no partnership or certification it has not signed.
How it is constrained
A drafting tool, held to drafting-tool limits
01
The playbook is yours, and you approve it
Latitude infers your positions from your own history, then asks you to confirm them. Nothing is enforced against a live contract until a person has signed off on the position it is enforcing. An inferred playbook nobody checked is just a confident guess.
02
Nothing is sent on its own
There is no path in the product where a redline reaches a counterparty without a person pressing send. Drafting is the job; deciding is not, and the difference matters more here than almost anywhere.
03
It flags what it has not seen
A clause with no playbook position is reported as unknown rather than approximated to the nearest rule. In contract review a confident wrong answer costs far more than an honest gap, because nobody re-reads a clause that came back green.
04
Latitude is not your lawyer
It is a drafting and triage tool used by your team. It does not give legal advice, does not create a solicitor- or attorney-client relationship, and does not replace the judgement your counsel is there to exercise.
