Ironclad is a Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) platform. It is designed to manage your company's contracting process—from drafting to signature to renewal. Colabra is a specialised M&A due diligence workspace. We do not manage your internal approvals; we audit the target's external risks. Ironclad is for running the legal department; Colabra is for running the deal.
Ironclad's "Agentic AI" is built to automate workflows. Its agents help you process new contracts faster, enforcing your company's playbooks on incoming vendors. It is an operational platform designed to streamline the "business of law" within your enterprise.
Colabra's AI is built to uncover liabilities. We do not care about approval routing; we care about risk. We ingest the target's static data dump to map ownership, flag "poison pill" clauses, and verify the chain of title. Ironclad helps you sign new deals; Colabra helps you assess past ones.
Ironclad is an enterprise platform. It typically requires configuration, schema mapping, and training to digest legacy contracts effectively. Colabra is zero-setup. You drag-and-drop the VDR zip file, and our pre-trained buy-side models start flagging risks immediately.
Ironclad is capable of reading contracts. But a deal is more than just contracts. It is board minutes, cap tables, tax returns, and IP assignments. Colabra's Reconcile lens audits the entire data room, highlighting missing corporate records that a CLM tool is not designed to spot.
Ironclad focuses on the text within the four corners of the agreement. Colabra looks outside. We extract the counterparty names to build a visual ownership graph and run live sanctions, litigation, and adverse media checks on every entity—context that does not exist inside a CLM.
