Practice note: reviewing an NDA in four minutes without missing the assignment clause

Imani Osei-BonsuHead of Legal Engineering5 min read

The problem

The short version: reviewing an NDA in four minutes without missing the assignment clause is easier to get wrong than most teams assume, and the failure is usually silent.

What we do about 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.
