LexAI Team
When LexAI assigns a risk score to your contract, it is not a random number. It is a weighted calculation based on the severity and frequency of risk items found in the document.
The scoring model
Every identified risk is classified as:
The final score is the average of all weighted risks, capped at 100.
What the bands mean
Scores 0 to 29 are Low risk. Scores 30 to 59 are Medium. Scores 60 to 79 are High. Scores 80 to 100 are Critical and legal review is strongly recommended.
