How does it decide which amendment governs a term?

By reading each document separately and identifying what it modifies, supersedes or supplements — then reporting the source for each current term. The output names the document a term came from, so a disputed figure can be traced rather than argued.

What happens when two amendments conflict?

They are flagged rather than silently resolved. A conflict between amendments is a legal question about the documents, not an extraction problem, and a tool that picks one is hiding the thing you most need to see.

Does it keep the history or just the current terms?

Both. The current effective terms are the working output, and the change log behind them shows how each term arrived there — which is what an auditor, a buyer's counsel or a disputed billing needs.

How to Automate Lease Amendment Tracking and Merging

The Problem

Over a 10-15 year tenant relationship, a commercial lease may accumulate 5-10 amendments, each modifying specific terms of the base lease or prior amendments. Tracking which provisions are currently effective requires careful cross-referencing — a process where manual errors are common and consequences are expensive.

Step-by-Step Automation Workflow

Upload the complete lease package

Upload the complete lease package: base lease, all amendments, side letters, and commencement date agreements.

Identify what each document modifies or supersedes

AI processes each document separately, identifying which provisions modify, supersede, or supplement the base lease.

Generate the current effective terms abstract

Generate a unified 'current effective terms' abstract that reflects all modifications.

Cite the source document for every current term

Highlight the source document for each current term (base lease, Amendment 3, etc.).

Flag conflicts between amendments

Flag potential conflicts between amendments.

Keep a change log of how terms evolved

Maintain a change log showing how each term has evolved over the amendment history.

Time Saved

Amendments are applied in order, and a term timeline shows which document governs each term and when, so the current terms no longer have to be reconstructed by hand

Cost Impact

Prevention of billing errors caused by applying superseded terms, and elimination of the risk of missing amendment-granted rights or obligations
