Designed for legal, procurement, and compliance teams, it eliminates manual contract review bottlenecks and ensures timely escalation of high-risk issues. A schedule trigger initiates the workflow, simulating a contract audit data input. A Contract Validation Agent performs initial validation via OpenAI, then passes results to a Governance Orchestration Agent, which delegates to Risk Assessment and Compliance Checker sub-agents. Risk scores are routed by level\u2014low, medium, or high\u2014triggering appropriate notifications via Slack or email escalation before logging the audit trail."
