How Vern Works

From upload to

Four steps. Zero legal jargon. Vern reads your contract, triages every clause against your playbook, and shows you exactly where the risk is.

Step 01

Upload your contract

Drag and drop any PDF, DOCX, or paste raw text. Vern handles NDAs, MSAs, SaaS agreements, employment contracts - anything with clauses.

Step 02

AI parses every clause

Vern's AI reads the full contract, identifies every clause, and classifies them by type - liability, indemnity, IP, termination, data handling, and more.

Clause 14.2 - Data Processing Data
Step 03

Triage against your playbook

Every clause is scored against your risk playbook - your rules, your thresholds, your deal-breakers. Not generic advice. Your position.
