Turn your past deals into your playbook

Point August to a folder of your past agreements. It pulls out what you push for, where you've conceded, and where you've walked away.

In minutes, you have a working playbook.

Know exactly where you stand on every clause

Each rule lays out your preferred position, acceptable alternatives, and hard limits.

When a clause comes up in a new deal, the playbook tells you where your firm stands.

Spot the issues before you start reviewing

Before you open a single clause, you know which rules passed, where the counterparty landed on a fallback, and which terms need your attention.

You go straight to the problems.

Redline the whole draft directly in Word

Run your playbook in the Microsoft Word Add-In, and August marks up the draft against your rules.

Accept, reject, or adjust each change.

The markup is done before anyone asks for it.
