The Simple
CLM Kit.
A free, opinionated contract lifecycle system for teams who aren't ready — or willing — to spend six figures on software.
Messy contracts.
No visibility.
Contract requests arrive in email, Slack, and the occasional hallway. Templates live in five different Drive folders. Nobody can tell you whether the MSA you signed last quarter has an auto-renewal in it.
Enterprise CLM platforms promise a fix — for six figures and a year of implementation. For most teams, that's the wrong shape of solution.
What you actually need is a shared inbox, a clean template library, an approval matrix everyone follows, and a way to see how long things take. This kit gives you all four.
Everything you need,
nothing you don't.
One front door for every contract request. Routes by type, value and risk tier.
Who signs off at what dollar amount and risk tier — and who can't be skipped.
MSA, SOW, NDA, DPA, order form, vendor agreement, and the other six you reach for monthly.
Default negotiation positions with fallback language, annotated by clause.
Status, cycle time, counterparty, obligations, and renewals — all in one base.
Cycle time, volume by team, backlog aging, and a weekly review template.
Four steps.
Three weeks, give or take.
Download
Grab the ZIP. Six files, cleanly named, nothing to install. Every template works as-is in Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.
Wire in intake
Stand up the intake form and the approval matrix. Route new requests through it end-to-end for two weeks, no exceptions.
Adopt the playbook
Move your team onto the default negotiation positions. Keep what works for your risk posture, swap what doesn't.
Measure weekly
Turn on the dashboard. Review cycle time and backlog age in a 30-minute weekly. Most teams see a drop in four weeks.
One email, the kit,
done.
No newsletter drip campaign. No sales calls. We send the ZIP once and keep your address out of every other list.
