Every term, on your terms.
Stipula reads your contracts, quotes and spend the way a sharp procurement lead would. It flags what is one-sided, finds what is missing, checks every bid for deviations, and hands you the exact lever to negotiate terms you can both live with.
Three ways to find money before you sign · real engine output on sample documents
Each flag quotes the offending line, says why it matters, sets it against a market benchmark, and gives the ask. Missing protections, one risk score, the negotiation email and a tracked-changes redline.
Enter quotes or upload them as received. Billing normalized to one annual figure, needs and wants checked, the field ranked on your own cost-versus-features weighting, and asks per vendor.
Double-billing, duplicate vendor accounts, overlapping categories and subscriptions creeping up, from a CSV, Excel or PDF statement. Each finding says what is recoverable.
When it's a bid, not a quote · bid evaluation
Requirements pulled from your RFQ or RFP; each response checked: compliant, deviation, or not addressed.
Exceptions, deviations and qualifications against your Ts & Cs, with a verdict per clause and a DOCX redline.
Every scope exclusion quoted verbatim, bidders side by side, and silence flagged as loudly as exclusion.
Commercial bid evaluation workbooks read directly, reconciled to their own totals, with no AI needed.
Some of the terms it flags
A sample. It also knows industry terms such as take-or-pay minimums and standby charges, and your Playbook adds your own thresholds and forbidden clauses.

Auto-renewal(HIGH)One of 6 high-severity flags
Thereafter, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive twelve (12) month periods unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then-current term
Why it matters: Contract renews automatically, so a missed cancellation window locks you in for another term.
Market benchmark: Auto-renewal itself is common, but market practice pairs it with a 30-day notice window and a written pre-renewal reminder obligation; silent renewal behind a 60-90 day window is vendor-favorable.
Negotiate: Negotiate removal of auto-renewal, or require written mutual agreement to renew. At minimum, add a renewal reminder 90 days before the notice deadline.
Keep the leverage after you sign
Every finding logged with its estimate, then marked captured, with the real amount, or dismissed.
Cancel-by dates computed from each saved contract, as a calendar feed or an email digest.
The vendor's revised draft compared with your asks: accepted, ignored, and anything slipped in.
Plain-language questions, answered with the clause quoted, or "the contract is silent on this".
Your thresholds, required protections and forbidden clauses, in your own words, enforced on every review.
PDF reports, CSV, DOCX redline with tracked changes, negotiation email, ICS feed, and a ZIP of all your data.
How it works
PDF, Word, Excel, CSV or text, several at a time. Scanned PDFs are read too.
A rule engine on every contract; deep AI review when you switch it on, with unfound quotes marked unverified.
Send the email and redline, export the report, and log the savings to your ledger.
Security & privacy
Hosted, nothing to install. Your own workspace, which no other customer can read.
Encrypted and backed up. HTTPS, encryption at rest, daily backups, no public database access.
Export or erase any time. A ZIP of JSON and CSV, or a permanent wipe of every record.
AI you can see. Deep AI review is opt-in; AI features use our provider, currently OpenAI.
Latin for a straw. Roman parties were said to seal a bargain by breaking a straw together, the origin grammarians gave for the word stipulation. A promise you could hold, and one you could break. Every term, on your terms.
