## Procurement contracting, answered

### Can procurement review supplier contracts without waiting for legal?

Yes. Legal sets the positions your business accepts once, as a playbook, and Genie reviews incoming [supplier contracts](https://www.genieai.co/en-us/template-type/supplier-agreement) against it. Procurement sees immediately whether a vendor's terms sit inside those positions, so standard purchases move without joining a legal queue.

Anything outside the playbook is flagged back rather than waved through, so legal keeps the standard and procurement keeps the timeline.

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

Volume is where a playbook pays. Once your positions on liability, data processing, termination and payment terms are captured, Genie reviews each incoming [supplier agreement](https://www.genieai.co/en-us/template-type/supplier-agreement), MSA or DPA against them and drafts the redline.

Firefish, a market research agency of 50 to 100 people, cut contract review time by more than 50% and now handles the same volume with half the legal availability.

### Who decides which supplier terms procurement can accept?

Legal does. The playbook is authored and owned by your legal function: preferred positions, acceptable fallbacks, and the points you will not concede.

Procurement then negotiates inside those boundaries without reopening settled questions, and legal is not asked to review every purchase.

### 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 a framework agreement from our own standards?

Yes. Genie drafts from your standards and playbook rather than from a fixed form, so a [framework agreement](https://www.genieai.co/en-us/template-type/framework-agreement), [supplier contract](https://www.genieai.co/en-us/template-type/supplier-agreement) or DPA comes back written the way your business writes them.

You describe the arrangement in plain English and Genie produces a first draft to your positions, with current-law accuracy across more than 150 jurisdictions.

### 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 fit a procurement team's existing approval process?

It sits before the approval step rather than replacing it. Genie produces the reviewed, marked-up contract, and whoever signs off is reading a document where deviations are already identified.

The practical gate on rollout is capturing the playbook, not the software. Teams draft and review from day one.
