In short

The obligation you missed is in the exhibit.

Obligation and renewal extraction pulls every commitment, deadline, notice period, approval requirement and renewal term out of a contract package — master agreement, SOWs, amendments, exhibits and side letters — and reconciles them against each other so the register reflects what is actually in force rather than what was true at signature.

Method

From package to register

Extraction alone produces a list. Reconciliation produces a register you can trust.

01

Extract

Every obligation, date, notice period and approval gate is located across all documents in the package, with its source clause.

02

Reconcile

Where two documents state the same obligation differently, the conflict is flagged rather than silently resolved.

03

Date

Renewal windows and notice deadlines are calculated from the terms currently in force, not from superseded ones.

04

Assign

Each obligation gets an owner and a next step. Approaching deadlines escalate rather than sitting in a spreadsheet.

What gets found

The obligations that go missing

Not because anyone was careless. Because they were never in the document people looked at.

Auto-renewal you meant to exit

Notice period ran from a date an amendment changed. The window closed while the register still showed the old date.

Reporting obligations in exhibits

Quarterly reporting sits in Exhibit D and never reached the register, so it has never been delivered.

Approval gates

Spend above a threshold requires written approval. The threshold was amended. The old figure is still being applied.

Conditional obligations

A commitment triggered only when volume crosses a level, easy to miss because it is dormant until it is not.

Notice addresses

Notice must go to an address changed by a side letter. Sending to the original may render notice ineffective.

Survival clauses

Obligations that survive termination, which the register drops on the day the contract ends.

Questions

Common questions

Can this refresh a register we already have?

Yes, and that is usually the most valuable first run. Reconciling your existing register against what the packages actually say tends to surface both missing entries and entries that are out of date.

Does it calculate renewal dates automatically?

It calculates them from the terms currently in force after amendments are applied, and shows the clause each date derives from so a person can verify it.

What about obligations that are ambiguous?

They are reported as ambiguous with the competing language attached. Lexara does not resolve legal ambiguity — it makes sure a human sees it.

Can obligations be exported to our CLM?

Yes, as structured data with source citations, so the register in your system carries the same traceability.
