Decision inputs
Facts that change the policy answer
The working material is approved clause language, deal facts and drafting instructions; the intended result is a clause draft for negotiation. Recording that pair prevents a vague approval from spreading to other uses.
- 1Task and owner
- Commercial counsel wants to draft a contract clause. Responsibility for a clause draft for negotiation stays with a named person or team throughout the request.
- 2Information involved
- Approved clause language, deal facts and drafting instructions. The classification must cover what the tool can retrieve as well as what the requester types.
- 3Tool and account
- An approved company account. The request should identify the exact account because product-level approval leaves important controls unknown.
- 4Intended result
- The expected result is a clause draft for negotiation. The policy needs to know what happens after generation, including publication, communication and automated use.
- 5Consequence if it is wrong
- Generated language may conflict with the rest of the agreement or create an unintended obligation. A familiar task still needs escalation when this consequence becomes plausible.
- 6Human review
- qualified lawyer should inspect, change, reject or stop the result. The reviewer needs the source material and must be able to reject the output before it takes effect.
Possible policy routes
The task name alone cannot decide it.
A published workplace policy can return different answers for the same task. These are the practical branches worth encoding.
A routine policy route may be possible
The least restrictive path starts only after the exact account is approved, only the minimum confidential legal information is used, a clause draft for negotiation remains within the stated purpose, and qualified lawyer reviews it before use.
Approval may be required
Specialist approval becomes relevant if the account or data handling is uncertain, generated language may conflict with the rest of the agreement or create an unintended obligation, or a clause draft for negotiation reaches people or systems beyond the requester’s authority.
The request may need to stop or change
The policy may require another method where restricted information would enter an unapproved service, the output would act before qualified lawyer can intervene, or compare against the complete agreement and approved playbook before use cannot be maintained. Consider less information, a controlled account or a non-AI process.

Useful safeguards
Controls that fit this request
- ✓
Compare against the complete agreement and approved playbook before use
- ✓
Keep whole files, mailboxes and datasets out of the prompt when a short part of approved clause language, deal facts and drafting instructions is enough.
- ✓
Treat a new purpose, region, data source or recipient as a new request rather than silently extending this one.
- ✓
Preserve who accepted a clause draft for negotiation, when they did so and which rule version they applied.

About this AI use
Is using AI to draft a contract clause automatically allowed?
The company policy supplies the answer after it receives the real tool, data, purpose, impact and review plan. This page only prepares those facts.
Which facts should be submitted before work begins?
Describe a clause draft for negotiation, identify approved clause language, deal facts and drafting instructions, name the exact tool and account, explain who will receive or rely on the output, and state how qualified lawyer will review it.
Which evidence makes the answer reproducible?
Preserve who accepted a clause draft for negotiation, when they did so and which rule version they applied. A classification and controlled reference may be enough when copying approved clause language, deal facts and drafting instructions would create unnecessary risk.
