Workflow

Overview

CaseMark's NDA Summary skill transforms complex non-disclosure agreements into structured, scannable reference documents. It automatically extracts parties, confidential information scope, disclosure parameters, term and survival provisions, breach remedies, and risk flags—all with section-level citations for easy verification.

Reviewing NDAs is a repetitive but high-stakes task. Missing a non-standard survival clause, an unusual liability cap, or an overly broad definition of confidential information can expose your organization to significant risk. Yet manually distilling these agreements into actionable summaries consumes valuable attorney time that could be spent on higher-value work.

CaseMark's NDA Summary skill automates the extraction and organization of every material term in your non-disclosure agreements. It produces a structured, citation-backed summary with built-in risk flagging, enabling attorneys to focus on judgment calls rather than document parsing. The result is faster reviews, fewer missed issues, and consistent quality across your entire NDA portfolio.

Questions

What types of NDAs can this skill analyze?

CaseMark's NDA Summary skill handles unilateral, mutual, and multilateral NDAs across all industries. It works with executed agreements, near-final drafts, and can incorporate amendments or side letters that modify original terms.

Does it identify risks and non-standard terms?

Yes. CaseMark automatically flags gaps, ambiguities, and non-market terms in a dedicated Risk Flags section. Topics not addressed in the NDA are clearly marked as [NOT ADDRESSED] so nothing falls through the cracks.

How does it handle section references?

CaseMark cites specific section numbers from your NDA for every extracted term, making it easy to cross-reference the summary against the original agreement. Uncertain citations are marked [VERIFY] for your review.

Can I use this to onboard stakeholders to NDA obligations?

Absolutely. The structured, scannable format is designed for quick stakeholder onboarding. Share the exported summary with business teams, contractors, or advisors so they understand their confidentiality obligations without reading the full agreement.

How long does the analysis take?

CaseMark typically generates a comprehensive NDA summary in about 7 minutes, compared to the 30-60 minutes it might take to manually review and distill the same agreement.

Does it work with amendments and side letters?

Yes. You can upload amendments and side letters alongside the original NDA. CaseMark will incorporate modifications into the summary, giving you a consolidated view of the current obligations.
