Definely Cascade

AI contract analysis that tracks the effect of every change.

Cascade is an AI-powered drafting assistant that helps lawyers instantly detect and understand the knock-on effects of changes made in a legal contract. Whether you're in a law firm or an in-house team, Cascade gives you the visibility and confidence you need to draft faster, reduce risk, and never miss a critical dependency.

Why Cascade?

Contracts are complex systems where one amendment can affect clauses, definitions, and obligations across dozens of pages.

Manually checking for consistency is time-consuming, prone to error, and expensive when mistakes go unnoticed.

Cascade solves this by automatically surfacing first-, second-, and third-order consequences of any change - right within Microsoft Word.

Cascade highlights the most consequential edits, helping lawyers focus where it counts and respond faster.
