How Fusial analyzes their changes
What Fusial extracts from an incoming redlined version and how those edits are organized for review.
When you upload a counterparty's redlined version, Fusial parses every tracked change in the file and turns each one into a decidable edit in the review queue. Filter by Source: Counterparty to scope the queue to just their edits. Optionally, you can run an AI Response pass to get a recommended action and a rationale for each one.
What gets extracted
Fusial reads the new .docx and pulls out every tracked change:
- Insertions — text the counterparty added.
- Deletions — text they removed.
- Author and timestamp — taken straight from the file.
Each item is tied to the paragraph anchor it belongs to, so it stays attached to the right clause even if surrounding text moves in later versions. Insertions and deletions that belong to one conceptual change share a group key, so you can decide them together rather than character by character.
The Response pass (optional AI)
If you want help deciding, click Review their edits in the editor header. The button appears whenever there are pending incoming edits and shows a count badge for how many. Fusial then generates a response suggestion for each pending incoming edit (or batch of related edits) with:
- A recommended action — Accept, Reject, or Counter.
- A short rationale grounded in your playbook and the contract context.
- For Counter suggestions, drafted replacement text you can edit before sending.
Suggestions stream into the review queue as they're generated, so you can start triaging immediately. You can re-run Review their edits after deciding some edits to get suggestions on the rest.
Cross-checking against your playbook
Even if you skip the Response pass, Fusial cross-references the new version against your playbook when you re-run analysis on the new version. If the counterparty's edits introduce a clause that violates your playbook, it shows up in the review queue as an AI redline with the appropriate severity.
That means a counterparty round can produce two kinds of items in parallel in the same queue:
- Counterparty edits — what they changed, for you to accept or reject. Filter by Source: Counterparty.
- AI redlines — playbook deviations introduced by the new version, for you to flag back. Filter by Source: AI.
