Moving houses is stressful. Moving thousands of contracts? That’s a legal migraine. Around 47% of people lose something when they move. Now imagine misplacing a critical indemnity clause or a deadline during contract migration. It can cost millions and trigger compliance risks.
Manual migration drags on, costs a fortune, and still leaves you guessing what got lost along the way. The good news is that there’s a better way to do it, without losing data or sleep.
Where AI steps in
Machine Learning (ML) now extracts metadata, classifies clauses, and flags risks at scale. Natural-Language Processing (NLP) can recognize contract terms across formats and even across languages. In theory, it’s the perfect solution: faster, cheaper, and smarter.
The catch is, AI alone isn’t enough. A single missed indemnity or misread deadline can cost millions. Regulators expect proof that every obligation survived the migration. Boards demand confidence that liabilities haven’t slipped through. AI is powerful — but without oversight, it’s not airtight.
Accuracy benchmarks
When you’re migrating legacy contracts, the stakes are high. One case study reports an accuracy rate of 70-85% for AI-assisted contract migration in early weeks of deployment.

Factors that influence AI accuracy include:
- The quality and legibility of the source documents, especially for scanned legacy PDFs.
- The amount of manual validation and human-in-the-loop oversight included in the process.
- The complexity of the contract language and layout.
With mature systems and human review, the numbers can touch the 90% mark.
