You can paste a contract into ChatGPT. So why SVOD?

Task: Builders sign construction contracts blind or hand them to a lawyerSolution: built SVOD: it reads the contract and returns ready edits in WordResult: a check takes minutes instead of a day or two with a lawyer

In a chat, you decide what to ask. In your account, SVOD follows a construction-contract checklist for your side and finds clauses the contract lacks.

Built the whole product: the analysis engine, bid comparison, backend, website, payments and launch. Together with a partner.

SVOD

How this differs from ChatGPT

In ChatGPT
  • Taxes todayThe model knows tax rates as of its training date. If the law changed later, the answer may follow the old rules.
  • What gets checkedIt reviews what you asked about. You decide which clauses to look at.
  • Edits in the contractEdits arrive as text in the chat. Moving them into the contract and checking that nothing else changed is on you.
  • NegotiationsIt can compare the other side's new version with your demands if your position and both versions are in the same conversation.
✦ In SVOD
  • Taxes todayVAT rates, the simplified-tax threshold and the self-employed income limit sit in a separate registry. Every morning SVOD checks it against KonsultantPlus and Garant, two Russian legal databases.
  • What gets checkedIn your account, it works through a checklist for construction contracts and your side of the deal: 27 checks for a general contractor, each tied to a code article. It also looks for clauses the contract lacks and drafts the text to add.
  • Edits in the contractYou get a Word file with tracked changes: every edit is visible, and the other side accepts or rejects it. In a contract from Word or a text PDF, the text you didn't edit stays word for word.
  • NegotiationsIt remembers which edits you sent and checks the other side's reply against them clause by clause. Clauses they added on their own are shown separately.

The "In ChatGPT" column describes how a general-purpose chat usually works. It is not the result of a ChatGPT test.

How SVOD reads a contract

01One clause, two truths

A 10% retention suits the customer and hurts the contractor. SVOD first asks which side you're on, then reads the contract the way the other side's lawyer would.

02The contract is longer than the model's reply

A model can't retype a 300,000-character contract in full. So it returns only the edits, and the server inserts them into your Word file itself.

03Negotiations go in circles

The other side sent back their own version? SVOD checks it against your position and drafts counter-comments and a letter to their lawyer. And so on, until it's signed.

SVOD grew out of a real task at a construction company: in 2025 its general contract for MEP systems became the first benchmark the engine checks every new contract against.
