Benchmark: defined-term consistency checking
Callum WhitfieldLitigation Practice Lead7 min read
The problem
Every review team we work with has a version of this problem. Defined-term consistency checking rarely announces itself.
How we measured it
In the current build this runs as part of the standard pass, so it applies to every document in the set rather than only the ones someone thought to check.
Where it breaks
Scanned originals with poor image quality remain the weakest input. So do agreements that were assembled from three precedents and never reconciled, which is common in long-lived supplier relationships.
