## Finance contracting, answered

### Can finance review vendor and outsourcing contracts without waiting for legal?

Yes. Legal sets the positions your business accepts once, and Genie reviews incoming vendor and [outsourcing agreements](https://www.genieai.co/en-us/template-type/outsourcing-agreement) against them, so finance gets an answer on anything already inside those standards.

Anything outside them is flagged for a decision rather than accepted quietly.

### How does Genie handle DPAs and vendor agreements at volume?

Once your positions on liability, audit rights, exit provisions and data processing are captured, Genie reviews each incoming agreement against them and drafts the redline, so the person approving spend reads a marked-up document rather than a blank one.

Firefish cut contract review time by more than 50% and now handles the same volume with half the legal availability.

### Who decides which financial terms finance can accept?

Legal owns the playbook: the positions on liability caps, indemnities, payment terms and termination that your business will and will not accept.

Finance negotiates inside those boundaries, and legal is consulted on the exceptions rather than the routine.

### Does Genie work inside Microsoft Word?

Yes. Genie works directly in Microsoft Word, so you review and redline in the document your counterparty actually sent, rather than moving it into another system and breaking your review trail.

DocuSign and Adobe Sign integrations are in development.

### Can Genie draft outsourcing contracts and purchase terms from our own standards?

Yes. Genie drafts from your standards rather than a fixed form, so an outsourcing contract, [vendor agreement](https://www.genieai.co/en-us/template-type/vendor-agreement), DPA or set of purchase terms comes back written the way your business writes them.

Current-law accuracy extends across more than 150 jurisdictions, which matters for multi-country vendor arrangements.

### What happens when a counterparty's redline falls outside our playbook?

Genie flags the deviation instead of accepting it. The change is identified against the specific position it breaches, so whoever reads it can see what was altered, why it matters, and whether it needs a decision from legal.

Escalation is the feature rather than the failure. It is how legal stays in control of the standard while everything inside the standard keeps moving.

### Is our contract data used to train AI models?

No. Documents you generate or upload stay in your tenant, are not used to train models, and confidential material is not shared with third-party LLMs.

GenieAI is ISO 27001 certified and operates under GDPR.

### How does Genie support audit and regulatory scrutiny of contracts?

Because every review runs against one recorded playbook, the same positions are applied consistently across contracts rather than varying by whoever handled them.

That consistency is what makes a contract estate explainable to an auditor or regulator: the standard is written down, and departures from it were identified at the time.
