Kira is the industry reference for contract extraction. It defined the category of "finding clauses" and exporting them to a spreadsheet. Colabra is the modern evolution of diligence. We do not just extract text; we analyse risk, map entities, and identify gaps. Kira helps you build the extraction grid; Colabra builds the deal narrative.
Kira is an extraction engine. Its primary goal is to locate specific clauses (e.g. "Change of Control") across a document set so you can export them to Excel for manual review. It is a "search and retrieve" tool designed to populate a spreadsheet, not to replace the reviewer's judgement.
Colabra is an analysis workspace. We don't just find the clause; we evaluate it. We link the clause to the specific risk it creates, the entity it affects, and the checklist item it satisfies. We replace the spreadsheet entirely with a live, collaborative risk register.
Kira analyses the documents that are present. It has no concept of what should be there but isn't. Colabra's Reconcile lens compares the data room against your diligence checklist to automatically flag missing schedules, unsigned agreements, or gaps in the corporate record.
Kira treats counterparty names as simple text strings. It cannot tell you if "Acme Corp" is a sanctioned entity. Colabra extracts entities and instantly enriches them with live data—sanctions, PEP status, adverse media, and litigation history—to give you a complete view of counterparty risk.
The Kira workflow ends with an export. You download the CSV and the intelligence dies there. The Colabra workflow is live. You triage risks directly in the application, assigning owners and tracking mitigations. The "report" is not a static snapshot; it is a living view of the deal.
