Getting Started with PactPro

Welcome to PactPro. This guide walks you through uploading your first contract and understanding what you get.

Step 1: Upload Your Contract

  1. Go to the PactPro homepage or your dashboard.
  2. Click Upload a contract for a free preview (or drag and drop your file).
  3. Choose a DOCX or text-based PDF file.

What works: Documents where you can select and copy text. Most standard MSAs, SOWs, and DPAs fall into this category.

What does not work: Scanned PDFs (images of pages). If you can't highlight text in your PDF, we can't analyze it yet.

Step 2: Your Free Preview

Within a few minutes, you'll see your Free Review results. This includes:

  • Document type – What kind of contract we detected (e.g., MSA, SOW).
  • Executive summary – A short overview of the main points.
  • High-risk clauses – The terms that most often get flagged for review.
  • Next steps – What to do with this information.

What you won't see in the free preview: Medium- and low-risk clauses, detailed clause-by-clause explanations, or full negotiation guidance. Those come with the paid analysis.

Step 3: Unlock Full Analysis

If you want the complete breakdown, click Unlock full analysis or Run full analysis. You'll be taken to checkout to pay for the full review.

What you get with full analysis:

  • Plain-English summary
  • Clause-by-clause explanations
  • Risk levels for each clause (high, medium, low)
  • Commonly negotiated sections
  • Bottom-line guidance
  • Action items and questions to ask the other party

Step 4: Find Your Results

  • Dashboard: All your documents appear in your dashboard. Click any document to open it.
  • Document page: You'll see the analysis results, risk overview, and action items.
  • Email: We'll email you when your full analysis is ready (if you have notifications enabled).

What to Do Next

  • Low risk? You may feel comfortable moving forward after reviewing the summary.
  • High risk? Use the action items and suggested questions to discuss with the other party or send to counsel.
  • Need more contracts? Check out our Billing & Plans guide for limits and pricing.

Remember: PactPro is a decision-support tool, not legal advice. We help you understand what's in your contracts so you can decide when to sign, negotiate, or escalate to a lawyer.
