AI Obligations Tracker
Ensure contractual obligations are met
Ensure contractual obligations are met. AI Obligations Tracker works for your legal and compliance team under a named human owner, with its cost and results shown in the Investment & ROI Ledger.
What it does
Mission: Ensure contractual obligations are met.
AI Obligations Tracker works for your legal and compliance team. Typical work: obligation extraction, reminders, evidence collection. It works inside Legal, Risk & Compliance — Contracts (CLM), Work — Projects.
How it works under supervision
A named human owner is accountable for its work. Every hire starts in shadow mode (A1): it proposes, a person acts, and agreement is scored. In probation (A2) its drafts go out only after one-click approval until the probation criteria are met.
What it may do on its own
After probation, its autonomy ceiling is A4: it acts on its own within its goal boundary, limited to R1–R3 Actions and checked by sample audits. Autonomy is earned per skill and drops after an incident.
What needs approval
Its risk ceiling is R1. Once autonomy is earned, it may carry out reversible internal changes, such as updating a field or creating a task, without a separate approval. Anything visible to others or outside your company goes to the Approvals Inbox. R4 Actions (payments, deletion, signing, payroll) always need a person.
Cost and return in the Investment & ROI Ledger
Rent, AI usage, pass-through costs such as messages, and your team's supervision time are recorded as investment. Results are tracked against its KPIs (missed obligations) and your previous process, shown as observed or assisted unless a reviewed experiment shows incremental return. Nothing is guaranteed.
