## Overview

Batch Analysis in Gavel Exec for Web transforms a set of contracts or documents into a structured, interactive spreadsheet. Each document becomes a column, and each specific term becomes a row, making it possible to extract key terms, compare clause language, and identify inconsistencies across large document sets in a single workflow. Batch Analysis is built for high-volume legal work where reviewing contracts one at a time is not practical.

Batch Analysis is available in **Gavel Exec for Web**. It is not available in the Word add-in.

## What It Does

Upload a set of contracts and Gavel Exec returns a structured table where:

- **Columns** represent individual documents
- **Rows** represent AI-generated extractions based on your prompts

From the spreadsheet view you can:

- Extract specific terms (payment amounts, notice periods, governing law, renewal provisions)
- Compare how a clause is handled across different agreements
- Flag inconsistencies in language or missing provisions
- Draft memoranda on major issues across the full document set

## How to Run a Batch Analysis

1. **Upload your documents**  
   In **Gavel Exec for Web**, open the Batch Analysis feature and upload the contracts you want to analyze.

2. **Define your extraction fields**  
   Click on “Auto-detect fields” to allow the AI to generate various fields you want to extract from the contracts. You can also add your own fields separated by a comma. Each field becomes a row in the output spreadsheet.

3. **Run the analysis**  
   Gavel Exec processes each document against every prompt. The hybrid search layer locates the relevant provisions—whether they use the same words, similar language, or structurally equivalent clauses.

4. **Review the table**  
   The results appear in a table. Click into the cell and open a sidebar that shows the source language in the original document.

5. **Export CSV or draft a memo analysis of the findings**  
   Export the table for use in due diligence reports or click “Draft Analysis” to generate a memorandum on major issues drawn from the full document set. You can also edit the Draft Analysis prompt to cover specific aspects of the Batch Analysis as needed.

## Generating a Memo from Batch Results

After running a Batch Analysis, Gavel Exec can draft a structured memorandum summarizing major issues across the document set. The memo can be adjusted to include basics or other specific language you would like it to include, such as:

- References the source documents with citations
- Organizes findings by issue or clause type
- Flags the most significant deviations or risks across the population

This is particularly useful for delivering due diligence summaries, portfolio reviews, or compliance audits to clients or senior stakeholders.
