🧭 Section Headings & Provisions – Smarter Structure Recognition for Legal Documents

1 min read

Legal contracts can be long, complex, and hard to navigate.

Section Headings & Provisions automatically identifies and organizes your document’s structural elements - so you can review, navigate, and analyze contracts with clarity and confidence.

🔹 Section Headings

How they are detected:
DraftCheck recognizes headings using formatting and style cues:

  • Entire phrase is ALL CAPS
  • First character is bold, italic, or underlined
  • Phrase is formatted as a Title, Subtitle, or Heading (1–3)
  • And it’s not part of an ordered or unordered list

This helps DraftCheck accurately separate true headings from regular content or numbered clauses.

🔹 Provisions

How they are detected:
DraftCheck detects provisions based on list numbering or manual indexing patterns such as:

  • 1., 1.2, 1-2
  • A., AB., a., ab.
  • (1), (12), (123)
  • (A), (AB), (a), (aa), (bb)
  • 1), 12), 123), A), AB), a), ab)

Nesting (indentation):
Hierarchy is inferred either from actual list nesting or from detected structure - giving you a clear, tree-like organization of your document.

 Why it matters

  • Navigation: Makes contracts easier to explore with clickable, structured elements.
  • Clarity: Accurately distinguishes between true headings and normal text.
  • Smart checks: Focuses on relevant info (to-dos, dates, definitions) while ignoring noise.
