Overview

Batch Analysis in Gavel Exec for Web transforms a set of contracts or documents into a structured, interactive spreadsheet. Each document becomes a column, and each specific term becomes a row, making it possible to extract key terms, compare clause language, and identify inconsistencies across large document sets in a single workflow. Batch Analysis is built for high-volume legal work where reviewing contracts one at a time is not practical.
Batch Analysis is available in Gavel Exec for Web. It is not available in the Word add-in.

What It Does

Upload a set of contracts and Gavel Exec returns a structured table where:
  • Columns represent individual documents
  • Rows represent AI-generated extractions based on your prompts
From the spreadsheet view you can:
  • Extract specific terms (payment amounts, notice periods, governing law, renewal provisions)
  • Compare how a clause is handled across different agreements
  • Flag inconsistencies in language or missing provisions
  • Draft memoranda on major issues across the full document set

How to Run a Batch Analysis

1

Upload your documents

In Gavel Exec for Web, open the Batch Analysis feature and upload the contracts you want to analyze.
2

Define your extraction fields

Click on “Auto-detect fields” to allow the AI to generate various fields you want to extract from the contracts. You can also add your own fields separated by a comma.Each field becomes a row in the output spreadsheet.
3

Run the analysis

Gavel Exec processes each document against every prompt. The hybrid search layer locates the relevant provisions—whether they use the same words, similar language, or structurally equivalent clauses.
4

Review the table

The results appear in a table. Click into the cell and open a sidebar that shows the source language in the original document.
5

Export CSV or draft a memo analysis of the findings

Export the table for use in due diligence reports or click “Draft Analysis” to generate a memorandum on major issues drawn from the full document set.You can also edit the Draft Analysis prompt to cover specific aspects of the Batch Analysis as needed.

Generating a Memo from Batch Results

After running a Batch Analysis, Gavel Exec can draft a structured memorandum summarizing major issues across the document set. The memo can be adjusted to include basics or other specific language you would like it include, such as:
  • References the source documents with citations
  • Organizes findings by issue or clause type
  • Flags the most significant deviations or risks across the population
This is particularly useful for delivering due diligence summaries, portfolio reviews, or compliance audits to clients or senior stakeholders.
