Playbooks
Your fallback positions, encoded.
Turn your organization's negotiating knowledge into a living playbook. Proculr measures every incoming contract against your defined positions.
Request PilotFrom institutional knowledge to institutional practice
Every experienced procurement counsel carries their organization's negotiating positions in their head. They know the acceptable liability cap range. They know which indemnification carve-outs are non-negotiable. They know which jurisdictions are acceptable for governing law.
When that counsel leaves, or when the team grows, that knowledge doesn't automatically transfer. Junior counsel negotiates differently. Consistency breaks down. Proculr's playbook system externalizes that knowledge — making it testable, versioned, and consistently applied.
"Systematizing negotiating knowledge into a living playbook is the first step toward AI-assisted negotiation. Proculr makes that systematic — not a document in a folder, but an active measurement system."

Contract-Type Variants
Separate playbooks for MSAs, SOWs, NDAs, and amendment types. Technology services and professional services can carry different standard positions.
