Collaborative Document Review With Automated Risk Mitigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing document generation systems for large organizations are inefficient in managing complex contracts, as they fail to facilitate rapid collaboration among multiple experts, leading to cumbersome risk assessment and potential errors due to the spread of knowledge across various individuals and departments, and lack automated solutions for risk mitigation and consensus building.
Innovation Solution
A computer system and method using rule-based algorithms and machine learning techniques to generate a consensual document by analyzing document subparts, identifying risks, and proposing mitigation actions, allowing collaboration among multiple users and generating a holistic view for informed decision-making.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual risk assessment processes are used with multiple analysts, then comprehensive risk evaluation can be achieved, but the process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the document review process into distinct analytical components handled by different specialists (financial risk analyst, legal risk analyst, compliance analyst, etc.). Each analyst focuses on specific aspects of the contract, allowing parallel processing of multiple risk dimensions simultaneously, thus reducing overall review time while maintaining comprehensive assessment quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a centralized contract management system as an intermediary platform that coordinates between multiple analysts and stakeholders. This system serves as a mediator that aggregates findings from various specialists, tracks mitigation actions, and facilitates consensus building, thereby streamlining the complex multi-analyst process and reducing coordination overhead.
2Reliability
If knowledge and expertise are distributed among many individuals and departments, then comprehensive risk coverage is achieved, but coordination and information sharing become difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal contract management platform that serves multiple functions: document storage, risk analysis coordination, mitigation tracking, and consensus management. This multi-functional system provides a common workspace for all specialists regardless of their specific expertise area, enabling seamless collaboration while maintaining the benefits of distributed knowledge.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the workflows and findings of multiple independent analysts into a unified contract review process. The system combines individual risk assessments, mitigation proposals, and approvals into a single consensual document that reflects collective expertise, thereby integrating distributed knowledge without requiring complex inter-departmental coordination.
3Productivity
If automated solutions are implemented for document processing, then efficiency increases, but the need for human expert involvement decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual administrative tasks (document routing, finding aggregation, status tracking) with automated computer-based processes. This substitution handles routine coordination work, freeing human experts to focus on substantive risk analysis and decision-making, thereby increasing overall productivity without compromising assessment quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables automated self-service capabilities where the contract management platform automatically performs document distribution, collects analyst inputs, generates consolidated reports, and tracks mitigation actions. This self-service automation reduces the administrative burden on experts while maintaining their active involvement in critical analysis functions.

AI summary
The invention relates to a method (100) for processing one or several document(s) and determining a status value of the document(s) according to key principles in a multi-user environment, said method comprising the steps of: - Generating (160) for each inadequate answer mitigation proposition(s) based on the key principles mitigation repository 26, and sending mitigation proposition(s) to the analyzer client 2; - Receiving (170) a selected mitigation action related to an inadequate answer and an identifier of a person in charge of said selected mitigation action; - Sending (180) a notification comprising the selected mitigation action, for each of the selected mitigation actions; and - Receiving (190), a validation information related to the mitigation action of the inadequate answer and updating the status value of the document regarding the key principles
