## Operations contracting, answered

### Can operations review supplier contracts and SLAs without waiting for legal?

Yes. Legal captures the positions your business accepts once, and Genie reviews incoming [supplier contracts](https://www.genieai.co/en-us/template-type/supplier-agreement) and service agreements against them, so operations gets an answer on the routine without a legal queue.

Departures from those positions are flagged rather than accepted, so legal sees the exceptions.

### How does Genie handle service agreements and SLAs?

Genie reviews incoming service agreements against your recorded positions on service levels, liability, termination and remedies, and marks where a counterparty has moved away from them.

Whoever signs is reading a document where the departures are already identified rather than buried.

### Who decides which service terms operations can accept?

Legal does, once, as a playbook. Operations then negotiates inside those boundaries without reopening questions that have already been settled.

That division is the point: speed for the business, consistency for legal.

### 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 supplier and service agreements from our own standards?

Yes. Genie drafts from your standards and playbook rather than a fixed form, so a [supplier agreement](https://www.genieai.co/en-us/template-type/supplier-agreement), service contract or [framework agreement](https://www.genieai.co/en-us/template-type/framework-agreement) reflects how your business actually contracts.

You describe the arrangement in plain English and Genie produces a first draft to your positions.

### 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 keep contract terms consistent across multiple sites?

One playbook applies everywhere. Because the positions are recorded centrally rather than held by whoever negotiated last time, every site or depot contracts on the same terms.

It also means a change of position needs updating once rather than communicating to everyone.
