How accurate is the AI analysis?

ZiaSign's AI achieves over 95% accuracy on standard business contracts. It's trained on millions of legal documents across industries. Results should be reviewed by a human for critical decisions.

What types of contracts can be analyzed?

Any English-language contract: NDAs, service agreements, employment contracts, leases, vendor agreements, SaaS terms, partnership agreements, and more.

Is my contract data used to train the AI?

No. Your documents are never used to train models. Analysis happens in isolated sessions and data is deleted after processing. See our privacy policy for details.
