Small firm NDA turnaround (anonymized pilot)
Disclosure: Anonymized pilot workflow illustration based on typical customer patterns. Metrics are directional estimates from a structured 30-day evaluation — not guaranteed results. No client names or identifying details are disclosed.
Profile
- Organization: 4-attorney US boutique, corporate transactional practice
- Volume: ~35 mutual NDAs per month (incoming counterparty paper)
- Tooling: Microsoft Word, Attyflow Solo sandbox → paid
Problem
Associates spent 35–50 minutes on first-pass NDA review before partner spot-check. Bottleneck: repetitive flagging of overbroad definitions, missing residuals carveouts, and one-way injunctive relief — the same issues on different counterparty templates.
Workflow change
- Associate pastes high-risk clauses into Attyflow with buyer/seller position set.
- Risk scores above 70 auto-escalate to partner queue with AI issue summary attached.
- Associate applies redline suggestions in Word; partner reviews flagged sections only.

Attorney validation note
"We still sign off on every NDA. Attyflow changed where we spend time — less hunting for standard traps, more on deal-specific issues." — Managing partner, anonymized pilot participant
