- CRM: Account status, associated deals, contact information
- Email: Contract-related emails, NDA attachments, negotiation threads
- Documents: Executed agreements, redlines, due diligence materials
- Chat: Contract requests, legal questions, team discussions
Step 3: Compile Agreement Status
For each agreement found:
| Field | Details |
|---|
| Agreement Type | NDA, MSA, SOW, DPA, SLA, License Agreement |
| Status | Active, Expired, In Negotiation, Pending Signature |
| Effective Date | When the agreement started |
| Expiration Date | When it expires or renews |
| Auto-Renewal | Yes/No, renewal term and notice period |
| Key Terms | Liability cap, governing law, termination provisions |
