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.

Soft launch note: Early-access users can test the full analysis workflow while subscriptions are closed.

Step 3: Unlock Full Analysis

If you want the complete breakdown, click Run full analysis. During soft launch, no checkout is required.

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? Contact support if early-access capacity blocks your workflow.

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.
