Every document read, against your standards

PONS reads your documents the way a lawyer would, clause by clause, against the standards you set. It flags what fails, extracts what you need, answers what you ask, and hands back a redline you can send. Every result shows the source it came from, so every result is one you can verify.

01Review
§ 01Intelligence

Your standards do the deciding. PONS does the reading

Point PONS at a document and it works through it clause by clause against the playbook you choose. Every clause comes back with a compliance status, a risk level, a suggested redline, and the exact source text it was measured against, so you can verify every call.

  • Compliant, partial, or non-compliant per clause
  • A risk level and a suggested redline for each
  • The exact source text behind every judgement

§ 02 - At scaleIntelligence

Score a whole set, then repaper what fails

Run an entire document set through a compliance check at once. Every document comes back scored, and the ones that fail can go straight into a repaper session, where PONS revises the non-compliant clauses across all of them in one go, not one by one.

  • A whole portfolio scored ahead of a deadline
  • Only the failures go to repaper
  • Revised in one pass, not one at a time

A redline you can send

When the review is done you receive the full document as a Word file with every PONS-suggested change shown as a tracked revision. Accept, reject, or modify each one directly in Word, exactly as you would with a colleague’s redline. No reformatting, no copy-paste.

  • Tracked changes, not just a report
  • Accept or reject in Word
  • The review result stays in PONS

Columns are questions. Cells are answers

Set up a table with the questions you need answered and PONS reads every document and fills in every cell. Ten documents or a hundred, the table fills in parallel, each answer with the excerpt it came from and a confidence level you can sort and filter on.

  • Any question, any document type
  • Source excerpt and confidence per cell
  • Sort, filter, and export the result

§ 05 - Every answer sourcedIntelligence

A table, and its receipts

Because each cell links to the clause it was drawn from, a reviewer can confirm any answer against its source rather than re-reading the document. You move from reading everything to checking what matters, which is the whole point of due diligence.

§ 07Intelligence

Not just trustworthy - verifiable

Ask a question across a set of documents and PONS returns a direct, reasoned answer with the exact clause and document behind it. Every answer shows its source, so you can verify it and rely on it rather than taking it on faith.

Answer

Three agreements permit assignment without the other party’s consent.

Confirmed against the source
§ 08 - How it worksIntelligence

A question, not a search box

Ask which of thirty contracts allow assignment without consent, whether any supplier agreement has uncapped liability, or what your firm’s position is on a regulatory point. PONS reads the documents in scope and answers, per document, with the relevant clause quoted.

  • Plain-language questions across many documents
  • A direct answer for each, with the clause quoted
  • Scope it to a matter, a project, or your knowledge base
§ 09 - Legal researchIntelligence

Ask a legal question. Get a cited answer

Legal research with citations is arriving next: ask any legal question across jurisdictions and PONS returns a structured, cited answer drawing on statutes, case law, and regulations, with every claim linked to its source and built into a research thread you can follow up.

  • Grounded in real law, not memory
  • Every claim links to its source
  • A research thread you can narrow and extend
04Draft
§ 10Intelligence

A first draft, not a blank page

Pick a template or describe the document you need and PONS drafts it, pulling the parties, dates, and terms from the matter and writing in the language your firm already uses. You start from a considered draft and spend your time on judgement, not typing.

  • Starts from your templates or a prompt
  • Fills in the matter’s parties and terms
  • Written in your firm’s standard wording

Yours to finish, in Word

Every draft arrives as a Word document with your formatting preserved, so refining it is ordinary editing, not reformatting. Generate a single letter or a batch of similar documents across a matter in one run.

  • Word output, formatting intact
  • Single documents or batches at once
  • Refine as ordinary editing

§ 12Intelligence

The right law finds the matter

PONS reads the matter, the parties, the documents, the type of work, and retrieves the statutes, regulations, and precedents that actually bear on it, each linked to its source. A new dispute opens with the governing rules already in front of you, not a research task to start.

  • Laws and regulations that fit the matter
  • Every point linked to its source
  • No manual research to kick things off

§ 13 - Tasks and a draftIntelligence

A running start on the work

From the same reading, PONS proposes the first set of tasks for the matter and can produce a starting draft, a letter, a filing, a memo, so the engagement begins with momentum. You accept, adjust, or ignore; the point is you never start from nothing.

  • A suggested first task list
  • A starting draft when you want one
  • Grounded in the matter, not generic
§ 14 - Grounded, alwaysIntelligence

Intelligence you can check

Everything matter intelligence surfaces traces back to a source, the clause, the statute, the document, so you can confirm it against the original. It sits on top of matter management, turning a system of record into one that works alongside you.

  • Every suggestion is sourced
  • Sits on top of matter management
  • Verify anything against its source

06Your sources
§ 15Intelligence

Your sources, alongside your work

Connect your own regulatory databases, statute collections, and research material, and PONS indexes them next to your firm’s knowledge. Contract reviews check against them as well as your playbook, and matter intelligence surfaces the right material for each new matter automatically.

  • Your regulatory and research sources
  • Indexed next to your firm’s own material
  • You choose what is in scope, per matter
§ 16 - Grounded outputIntelligence

The foundation every answer stands on

Data sources are part of what makes PONS answers specific and sourced rather than generic and guessed. The platform keeps the connection live and updates when sources change, so the ground every answer stands on stays current.

  • Answers grounded in real, current law
  • Every answer traces to its source
  • Updates when the sources change
