Hey Ph! I’m Jack Stein, co-founder and CEO of Common Paper.
We created Gerri because of a pattern we kept hearing from our customers. Deals were slowing down from contracts, and when we explored why, the answer was almost always the same: red lines.
What surprised us was how repetitive the problem was. Most companies were seeing an 80/20 situation where a handful of the same issues came up in deal after deal. They really wanted to turn to their lawyers for thorny legal issues, but didn’t want to answer the same question over and over again. Also, many of the contract questions are not legal, but instead need to be answered by a different member of the team.
What was missing was a way to make a decision once, and then have the system handle it automatically from that point. That’s the essence of Gerri’s way of working: you create a playbook that reflects how your company communicates, and Gerri’s AI applies it to every incoming deal. Accepts what you will accept. What you push back on hits back. and escalates what is actually needed by a human, routes each issue to the right person (legal, sales, finance, etc.), then produces a clean file that is either ready to sign or send back to the other party.
The result is that 90% of deals are reviewed in less than 3 minutes, often before anyone on your team even knows a deal has arrived.
Happy to answer any questions about how the playbook works, how teams are using it, or anything else. And if you want to see it in action, a short demo is linked above.

I’d love to hear how you’re handling the red lines today and what you want there.
