Most contract tools file the document and stop. Govern reads it, and keeps reading as it changes.
Govern follows the chain from MSA to SOW to each amendment, shows which terms moved, and recalculates what the contract is worth.
Every clause is measured against the positions your team has written down, not a generic idea of risk.
A rating always links to the section it came from and the standard it was compared with, so a reviewer can check it in seconds.
Upload a contract and read the analysis in minutes. There is no implementation project to run first.
