Expert review NEW IN 2.0

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.

How escalation works

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.

01
You escalate

From the review, with a line on what worries you. The price and the turnaround are shown before you confirm.

02
We match a reviewer

Qualified, and matched to the contract type rather than whoever is free. You see who took it.

03
They work inside Vern

On that one deal, for as long as it’s with them. Nothing is emailed around and nothing leaves the record.

04
You get a revision

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.

ESCALATING WOULD BE A WASTE Vern already has a position on this
Don’t. This is what the playbook is for.

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.

What comes back

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 contract with tracked changes
Real Word revisions, so their side sees exactly what moved
A note on the trades
Which positions they held, which they let go, and what they’d accept if pushed
The clauses they left alone
Said explicitly, so silence doesn’t read as an oversight
Twenty minutes if you want it
Usually the fastest way to brief whoever has to sign
WHAT THE REVIEWER CAN REACH
One deal, for as long as it's theirs
That contract, its rounds and its findings, nothing else in your account
The playbook positions relevant to that review
Access ends when the revision is released
Under confidentiality terms, and every action logged
Your admins see who had it and when, in the audit export
HOW IT'S BILLED
Per review, on your invoice
The AI review that preceded it its normal credit
Opting in no extra credits
The reviewer’s fee invoiced per review
If nobody takes it, or you cancel nothing

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.
