Defined terms are the backbone of every contract - but tracking them manually across long, multi-part documents can be tedious and error-prone.
That’s why we built Defined Terms Detection, a powerful feature that automatically finds, tracks, and validates all defined terms across your agreements.

🔍 What It Does

Defined Terms Detection automatically scans contracts and legal documents to identify all defined terms - whether they’re written in quotes or defined using formal legal phrases.

It ensures every defined term is consistently recognized and tracked across main documents and sub-documents, giving reviewers complete confidence in their definitions.

⚙️ Key Capabilities

✅ Flexible detection
Detects terms written in quotes (“ ”, ‘ ’, « ») or in definition phrases like:

“... means ...” or “... is defined as ...”

✅ Plural & singular recognition
Understands variations like:

“Party” ↔ “Parties”
Even for irregular forms such as analysis/analyses or appendix/appendices.

✅ Usage awareness
Handles possessive forms (e.g., Customer’s) and ignores punctuation (Investor. → Investor).

✅ Cross-document tracking
Links definitions across main and sub-documents, automatically flagging any duplicated definitions.

✅ Capitalization logic
Detects miscapitalized uses (Confidential Information vs confidential information) and smartly manages ALL CAPS exceptions.

✅ Error handling
Shows miscapitalized or duplicated terms with clear error flags.
Automatically excludes smaller terms appearing inside larger ones (e.g., Customer vs Customer Purchase Credit).

Why it matters

• Saves time: No manual searching for definitions.
• Increases accuracy: Ensures all uses of defined terms are caught.
• Improves compliance: Flags errors and inconsistencies instantly.
• Supports clean contracts: Works seamlessly across complex, multi-doc agreements.
