Some deals deserve a human. Most don't.
When one contract is worth more than the rest of the month put together, escalate that review to a qualified reviewer from inside Vern. They get your playbook, the findings and the document, and send back a revision with their reasoning. One deal, one fee, no retainer and no extra credits.
One button on a review you've already run.
There's nothing to brief. The reviewer inherits the context Vern already has, your positions, the findings, the round history and the document itself, so they start where the AI review finished rather than reading it cold.
Which is the whole point: you're paying for judgement on the hard clauses, not for someone's first hour getting up to speed.
From the review, with a line on what worries you. The price and the turnaround are shown before you confirm.
Qualified, and matched to the contract type rather than whoever is free. You see who took it.
On that one deal, for as long as it’s with them. Nothing is emailed around and nothing leaves the record.
Tracked changes, a note on the trades they made, and the option of twenty minutes on a call about it.
We'll tell you when to keep your money.
A product that escalates everything is just a law firm with worse margins. Most reviews shouldn't go anywhere near a human.
A mutual NDA that scores clean against your positions doesn’t need a human, and paying for one teaches your team the wrong lesson about when to ask. Send it. If the same clause keeps causing hesitation, the fix is a sharper playbook position, not a reviewer.
You’ve been round twice, they’ve stopped conceding, and the next move is either accepting an uncapped position or finding wording they can live with. That’s judgement, and a reviewer who has seen the same standoff fifty times is worth more than another round of redlines.
When one agreement carries a year of revenue, a per-review fee against that number isn’t a real decision. Escalate it, get the revision, and have the twenty-minute call so whoever signs understands what was traded and why.
Vern will still score the clause on how it’s drafted, but it can’t tell you your position on something you’ve never had a position on. A reviewer decides it once; we codify the answer so the next twenty come back scored automatically and free.
Expert review is a second opinion on the terms of a deal you’re still negotiating. Once there’s a live dispute, a threatened claim or a regulator involved, you need someone properly engaged and accountable to you. We’ll say so rather than take the fee.
A revision you can send, not a memo you have to decode.
The deliverable is the document itself, marked up. Everything else is there to explain the marks.
The fee is agreed in your package rather than quoted per deal, so nobody has to negotiate a price mid-negotiation.
* Turnaround is indicative and subject to the terms of your agreement.
Keep the humans for the deals that earn them.
We'll walk an escalation end to end on an anonymised deal, so you can see exactly what comes back and when it's worth the fee.
