CRIS
Contract Risk Intelligence System
A multi-agent system that audits engineering contracts for risk exhaustively, not merely until a reviewer reaches the end of the document.
CRIS is a multi-agent contract-auditing system built with Claude and eleven specialized agents, each with its own retrieval layer. It expands a legal team’s ability to surface contractual risk while keeping the final decision with people.
At a glance
The problem
Engineering contracts can combine hundreds of pages of technical and legal clauses with exposure in the tens of millions of reais. Important obligations are often hidden in how clauses interact.
A manual review can take weeks and still leave uncertainty about what was missed. The system was designed to extend, not replace, the legal team’s review.
Impact
Risk review becomes systematic rather than sample-based, giving decision-makers traceable findings before and during execution.
The project has mapped more than R$5M in contractual exposure in real use. This is mapped exposure, not loss incurred.
Human reviewers retain the final decision, especially when the system’s confidence falls below its threshold.
Confidence is not binary. Making uncertainty explicit is what makes an AI system useful for high-stakes contracts.
Architecture
Claude coordinates eleven specialized agents. Each retrieves from the full contract before returning a finding with evidence and confidence.
