Executive overview
The SCO read-only thesis, pointed at legal: contracts, renewals, obligations, risk, and spend - observed across your contract and matter systems to surface exposure and recoverable value, not to practice law.
What this is, and what it is not. A preview of a planned domain, not a live product. In production it would sit read-only on top of your CLM, e-signature, and matter systems - reading contract metadata and obligations and surfacing renewal exposure, deadline risk, non-standard terms, and spend leakage. It does not render legal advice, change or sign contracts, or replace counsel; privileged and contract data would be access-controlled with SHA-256-anchored lineage. All figures here are synthetic.
Contract value under management & plan synthetic
Signals worth attention
Synthetic preview. In production, derived read-only from CLM, e-signature, and matter systems with SHA-256-anchored lineage, as in SCO.
Contract portfolio
What the contract base is made of - by type, value, and counterparty - and how it moved over the year.
Contracts by type synthetic
Value bridge (TTM, $M) synthetic
By business unit
Largest active contracts
| Counterparty | Type | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Tier-1 steel supplier | Supply | $84M |
| National retail account | Customer | $61M |
| Logistics 3PL master | Service | $44M |
| DET-01 facility lease | Lease | $38M |
| ERP / platform license | License | $22M |
Synthetic, aggregated. Reads contract metadata read-only; values reflect total contract commitment, not annualized spend.
Renewal exposure
What is coming up for renewal, what renews silently, and where the value is concentrated - so nothing lapses or auto-renews unnoticed.
Renewal value by month (next 6) synthetic
Renewals needing action read-only
| Counterparty | Expires | Value | Auto-renew | Notice by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Logistics 3PL master | Jul 14 | $6.2M | Yes | Jun 14 |
| ERP / platform license | Jul 30 | $4.8M | Yes | Jun 30 |
| National retail account | Aug 09 | $5.1M | No | Jul 10 |
| MRO supplier (West) | Aug 22 | $2.3M | Yes | Jul 23 |
| Insurance program | Sep 01 | $3.4M | No | Aug 01 |
Synthetic, aggregated. Reads renewal dates, notice windows, and auto-renew flags read-only from CLM.
Obligations & deadlines
The commitments buried in contracts - deliverables, milestones, rebates, SLAs - tracked so they are met and claimed.
Upcoming & overdue obligations read-only
| Obligation | Contract | Owner | Due | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Volume rebate claim ($0.4M) | Tier-1 steel supplier | Procurement | May 30 | Overdue |
| Service-credit milestone | Logistics 3PL | Operations | Jun 02 | Overdue |
| Insurance certificate refresh | Insurance program | Legal | Jun 12 | Due |
| Price-review notice | MRO supplier (West) | Procurement | Jun 20 | Due |
| Data-processing addendum review | ERP license | Legal / IT | Jun 28 | Due |
Synthetic, aggregated. Obligations parsed read-only from contract text; ownership routed to the responsible function.
Cycle time
How long contracts take to get done, where the time goes, and whether it is improving against target.
Cycle-time trend & target synthetic
Cycle by stage (days)
Cycle by contract type (days)
Synthetic, aggregated. Cycle measured read-only from CLM stage timestamps; target is illustrative.
Risk register
Where the contract base carries elevated risk - non-standard terms, uncapped liability, missing protections - ranked by exposure.
Risk by category (clauses flagged)
Top risk exposures
| Contract | Issue | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| Logistics 3PL master | Uncapped liability | High |
| ERP / platform license | Weak data-breach terms | High |
| National retail account | One-sided indemnity | Med |
| MRO supplier (West) | No price-cap clause | Med |
| Contract manufacturer | IP assignment gap | Med |
Synthetic, aggregated. Clause flags are illustrative; in production they assist counsel review and never auto-amend a contract.
Outside-counsel spend
What legal spend goes where - by firm, matter, and trend - so the budget buys the right work.
Counsel spend trend ($K / quarter) synthetic
Spend by firm (TTM)
Spend by matter type
| Matter type | Spend | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Litigation | $1.5M | 36% |
| Commercial / contracts | $1.1M | 26% |
| IP / patents | $0.8M | 19% |
| Employment | $0.5M | 12% |
| Corporate / M&A | $0.3M | 7% |
Synthetic, aggregated. Reads matter and e-billing data read-only; rates and variance illustrative.
Matters
Active legal matters - litigation, IP, employment, corporate - their status and estimated exposure.
Matters by type synthetic
Active matters read-only
| Matter | Type | Status | Exposure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supplier dispute - West | Litigation | Discovery | $4.2M |
| Patent infringement claim | IP | Filed | $3.1M |
| Wrongful-termination | Employment | Mediation | $0.8M |
| Bolt-on acquisition | Corporate | Diligence | n/a |
| Trademark opposition | IP | Pending | $0.3M |
Synthetic, aggregated. Reads matter-management status read-only; exposure estimates are illustrative, not reserves.
Compliance
Contractual and regulatory obligations with dates attached - certifications, attestations, and filings - so none lapse.
Obligations & expirations read-only
| Item | Area | Expires / due | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cyber-insurance certificate | Insurance | May 20 | Expired |
| ISO 9001 surveillance audit | Quality | Apr 30 | Expired |
| Supplier code attestation | Procurement | Jun 15 | Due |
| Data-processing review | Privacy | Jun 28 | Due |
| Conflict-minerals filing | Regulatory | Jul 31 | Due |
Compliance posture by area
Synthetic, aggregated. Reads obligation and certification dates read-only; AssetShop surfaces and reminds, it does not file or attest.
Connectors & data
Where Legal Operations would read from, and the posture it would read with.
Read-only, and especially careful with this data. Contracts and matters include privileged and confidential material. These connectors are scaffolded, not built - each reports 0/12 conformance until a tenant integration is done. In production they read metadata and obligations read-only, role-gated, with SHA-256-anchored lineage; nothing is written back to your CLM or matter system.
Legal connectors
| System | Category | Mode | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ironclad | CLM | Read-only | Scaffolded 0/12 |
| DocuSign CLM | CLM / e-sign | Read-only | Scaffolded 0/12 |
| SAP Ariba (contracts) | Procurement CLM | Read-only | Scaffolded 0/12 |
| Matter / e-billing system | Matter mgmt | Read-only | Scaffolded 0/12 |
How it stays trustworthy
Planned domain. Connectors are scaffolds; functional conformance (12/12) is verified per tenant at integration, never assumed.
