Clavico vs Ironclad

Q: Do I need CLM or contract intelligence first?

For most growing businesses, contract intelligence comes first. CLM tells you where contracts are and when they expire; contract intelligence tells you what you agreed to and where you're exposed — which is usually more urgent.

Q: Can I use Ironclad and Clavico together?

Yes. Ironclad manages your contract operations while Clavico reviews the substance of what you're signing. They address different parts of the problem and can run in parallel without conflict.

Ironclad is a contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform. Clavico is contract intelligence. They're not the same thing — and for growing businesses, the order of priority might surprise you.

Which do you need first?

Most growing businesses think about CLM before they think about contract intelligence. That's backwards.

CLM tells you where your contracts are and when they expire. Contract intelligence tells you what you agreed to and where you're exposed. The second question is almost always more urgent.

A typical growing business loses 9–12% of annual revenue to unfavourable contract terms — auto-renewals they didn't notice, liability caps that don't protect them, payment terms that favour the other side. CLM doesn't fix that. Contract intelligence does.

"Know what you're agreeing to before you manage how it flows."

Can I use both?

Yes — and many teams do. Ironclad manages your contract operations. Clavico reviews the substance of what you're signing. They address different parts of the problem and can run in parallel without conflict.

If you're not yet at the scale where CLM makes sense, start with Clavico. When you're ready for process automation, add CLM on top.
