Multi-document review

Turn a document set into a comparable review table.

Place documents in rows and review questions in columns. Inspect each answer alongside its source passage, then make sense of the results through team judgment.

Review set

Define the documents and questions before the comparison begins.

Bring provisions that are scattered across similar documents into one assessment frame. Each column is a clear question; each row is a document to review.

Rows · documents

  • Supply agreement · A
  • Supply agreement · B
  • Supply agreement · C

Columns · questions

  • How long is the termination notice?
  • Is liability capped?
  • How does renewal work?

Comparison matrix

See the whole set first. Then inspect the evidence behind a cell.

The matrix places answers to shared questions side by side. In supported flows, you can also inspect the document passage and assessment explanation behind a selected cell.

Workflow

From document set to assessable insight.

Set the clear review questions you want to compare across the documents.

03

Read the matrix

Review answers in rows and columns to see differences across the set.

04

Inspect cell evidence

Return to the relevant passage and explanation when assessing an answer.

05

Apply team judgment

Interpret material differences in the legal and commercial context of the matter.

Human judgment

The table compares. Your team creates the insight.

Harmonity helps you see answers and their basis across a document set. Which difference matters, which document deserves priority, and what happens next remain matters for human judgment.

  • See recurring patterns across the document set.
  • Assess exceptions alongside their source passage.
  • Interpret results within the purpose and risk approach of the matter.

Example workflows

Ask the same question across the set and see differences with their basis.

Each example shows the comparison question and the table result presented for team assessment. All content is illustrative.

Example data01

Termination terms

Shared question

How many days’ notice is required to terminate each agreement?

Comparison

Results of 15 days, 30 days, and not stated appear alongside the relevant passage in each document.

Example data02

Renewal dates

Shared question

Does the agreement renew automatically, and what is the renewal period?

Comparison

Twelve months, six months, and no automatic renewal are placed side by side by document.

Example data03

Finding a defined clause

Shared question

Is liability capped, and what amount is the cap tied to?

Comparison

Annual fees, twice annual fees, and unlimited results remain linked to their source passages.

From table to detail

Move from a cell to its source, then into the relevant way of working.

Assess a notable result alongside its document passage. Continue into Document Review for a closer look at one document, or begin a source-linked task with Agent across selected files.

About multi-document review

Frequently asked questions.

What do rows and columns represent?

Each row represents a document under review. Each column represents a shared assessment question applied across the document set.

Can the basis of a cell answer be inspected?

In supported flows, you can review the relevant document passage and assessment explanation for the selected cell.

Is the table a final legal assessment?

No. The table is working support that makes differences and their basis visible. Materiality, priority, and next steps remain matters for team judgment.

What questions can be compared?

You define clear questions for the set, such as termination notice, renewal period, or liability cap, according to the needs of the review.

Review a document set through your own questions.

Choose the documents you want to compare and three review questions; we’ll build the workflow together in a live demo.
