Projects

A project is the workspace where the work happens. It bundles a template, a set of contracts, a member list, and its own settings into one container. Spin up a separate project per deal, per counterparty, per matter — whatever matches the way you actually work.

Most teams end up with one project per transaction. Some run a long-lived project per vendor portfolio. There's no wrong answer; the project is just the unit of scope.

Creating a Project

From the Projects list, click New Project. You'll fill in:

• Name — the deal, the counterparty, the matter number. Whatever you'll recognize at a glance three weeks from now.
• Icon — pick from a curated set of Material Symbols and a 10-color palette. Skip it and Contract Analyzer falls back to colored initials generated from the name.
• Template — the structured definition of what the AI will extract. Pick the one that matches the kind of contracts you're about to analyze.

TIP

The template is locked once the project is created. You can toggle which fields are active later, but you can't swap templates. Pick deliberately.

Opening a Project

Clicking into a project drops you into its own scoped view:

• Topbar breadcrumb — shows the project name so you always know where you are.
• Left sidebar — Overview, Documents, Analysis, and Settings. Each one swaps the main area.
• Main area — the content shifts with your sidebar selection. Overview is the landing page; Documents is the contracts list; Analysis is the matrix; Settings is project configuration.

Overview is the dashboard — recent activity, storage usage, member list at a glance. Documents is where you upload and manage contracts. Analysis is where the matrix lives. Settings is where you change the shape of the project.

Members at a Glance

Every project has its own member list, separate from any other project you're in. Members get one of three roles:

• Owner — full control, including inviting members and deleting the project.
• Editor — uploads, analyzes, edits values.
• Viewer — read-only.

Invite collaborators by email from the project's Settings page. If they already have a Contract Analyzer account, they'll see the project appear in their list. If they don't, they'll get a signup link that auto-accepts the invite after they register.

Project Settings, At a Glance

The Settings panel is where you rename the project, change the icon, toggle active template fields, manage members, and — if you really need to — delete the project. Everything that shapes the project lives here.

Storage Usage

The Overview page shows the project's current storage usage. That number is computed from the file sizes of every contract uploaded to the project, plus any exports you've generated. It updates as you add and remove files.

Most projects stay well under any practical limit. If a single deal is unusually large — say, hundreds of scanned PDFs — the Overview is where you'll see it first.
