LinkSquares, the leader in AI-powered contract lifecycle management (CLM) technology, has officially announced the general availability of its Risk Scoring Agent.
According to certain reports, the stated solution arrives on the scene bearing an ability to automatically analyze agreements across the full contract lifecycle, and therefore, deliver AI-powered risk assessments based on an organization’s pre-defined risk profile.
More on the same would reveal how such an automated brand of risk scoring effectively eliminates hundreds of hours that would have gone in to conduct a manual review, while simultaneously uncovering hidden liabilities, and giving executives real-time intelligence to mitigate risk and accelerate deal flow.
Before we dig further, we must take into account how modern day organizations are up against severe risks at every stage of the contracting lifecycle. In fact, one 2025 LegalOn and In-House Connect survey found that 69% of legal professionals reported significant improvements when it comes to time savings and turnaround times after adopting AI for contract review, something which treads up a long distance to highlight the inefficiencies of traditional manual review.
As for the two of the most pressing challenges, they include contract review bottlenecks, where manual reviews make up a slow, inconsistent experience and cause excessive dependency on individual expertise.
Such a setup also causes an omission of unfavorable terms, as teams look to quickly finalize deals.
The other big challenge here would be of hidden liabilities. You see, beyond the negotiation phase, organizations maintain thousands of legacy contracts with terms that may pose risk. Hence, without systematic monitoring, these liabilities often remain undetected until they trigger costly incidents or compliance violations.
“Our Risk Scoring Agent redefines a traditionally manual approach by allowing teams to automatically assess and visualize risk based on custom criteria,” said Andrew Leverone, Chief Product Officer, LinkSquares. “This not only streamlines reviews and saves countless hours, but also empowers executives with actionable insights to enhance negotiations, advance M&A strategies, and adapt swiftly to regulatory or market changes. It’s a significant advancement in our mission to help organizations derive greater efficiency and strategic value from their contracts.”
Taking a deeper view of how LinkSquares’ latest brainchild will go about addressing these challenges, we begin from its promise to provide customizable risk profiles. This translates to how users can create risk criteria as per their organization’s specific thresholds for any given agreement type.
Next up, we have an AI-powered risk quantification facility, which allows you to avail a comprehensive 0-100 risk assessment for each contract with a single click of a button.
Another detail worth a mention is rooted in the potential for full CLM coverage. Here, users will get to analyze both in-flight and executed contracts with consistent criteria. Once they have conducted the stated analysis, the results should enable them to compare risk scores across versions, track improvements, as well as stay informed on any hidden liabilities ahead of renewals.
Rounding up highlights would be an assortment of executive insights, insights that will help you quantify risk reduction efforts with unparalleled visibility using measurable metrics for executive reporting.
