The generated summaries include appropriate confidentiality markings and can be structured to separate highly sensitive information from broader stakeholder communications, allowing you to control information distribution.

How accurate are the deal terms and financial details in the generated summary?

CaseMark extracts deal terms, purchase price components, payment structures, and financial details directly from source documents with high precision. The AI cross-references information across multiple documents to ensure consistency and accuracy.
