Verdict
What is Document Crunch?
Document Crunch reviews construction contracts and project documents, flagging risk provisions and pointing to the clause it drew each finding from.
What it does well
Getting a first-pass risk read on a contract in minutes rather than days, and keeping track of the obligations that follow from it once the job is running.
Who should use it
Contractors and construction managers who review a steady flow of contracts and cannot put every one in front of counsel.
Who should not use it
Anyone treating it as legal advice. It narrows what a lawyer needs to look at; it does not replace the lawyer.
