Playbooks: review every contract against your own positions
Finch reads the other side’s paper against your playbook, rates each clause, and proposes your position as a tracked change with a note on why.
43 changes in their markup · 33 within your positions · 10 need you
The positions your best lawyer holds in their head, written down once.
A playbook records how your team negotiates a type of contract: the position you open with, the fallback you will accept, and the line you do not cross. Finch applies it the same way on the hundredth contract as on the first.

How it works
Playbooks, step by step
- 01
Set the positions
For each clause, record your starting position, your fallback and what is not acceptable. Start from a built library and fit it to your client.
- 02
Review the paper
Finch reads the draft and rates each clause: within position, fallback or not acceptable.
- 03
Mark it up
Your position lands in the document as a tracked change, with a short note and the clause it rests on.
- 04
Learn from the deal
Finch can propose updates from past mark-ups. They change the playbook only when you approve them.

Do I have to write a playbook from scratch?
No. Start from the built library and adjust it to your client and your practice.
Does Finch change the playbook on its own?
No. It can suggest updates from past mark-ups, and they apply only when a lawyer approves them.
