A standard first-pass workflow; substantive legal judgment stays with the supervising attorney.
First-Pass Workflow

- 2. Completeness — all exhibits/schedules present?
- 3. Clause checklist — flag deviations from playbook
- 4. Risk flags — escalate unusual terms
- 5. Redline — suggest standard fallbacks
- 6. Summary memo — issues + recommendations for attorney
The full PDF continues with: Clause Checklist.
How to use it
Three steps
- Download the PDF (email-gated, free) and open it alongside the process or agreement you already have.
- Read the sections in order (it opens with "First-Pass Workflow"); adapt the wording to your systems and jurisdiction, and mark anything your counsel or compliance officer must confirm.
- Have the responsible person (compliance officer, supervising attorney) review the adapted version before it goes into use — the template is not legal, compliance or medical-billing advice.
