The problem
EPC contracts are where the most money quietly goes missing.
1,000+
Pages
A single EPC contract can run over a thousand pages — buried in clauses that affect cost, risk, and obligations.
14 days
Typical notice window
Miss a notice period by a single day and you can lose the right to claim millions in legitimate costs.
10–30%
Margin at risk
Hidden cost mechanisms — escalation, variations, LDs — routinely erode project margins after signature.
Why existing tools fail
Existing tools weren’t built for the contracts team.
Three approaches. None of them fit how EPC contracts actually get managed.
Legal AI tools
Built for lawyers at law firms
- Speak in legalese, not commercial language
- Designed for transactional review, not project lifecycle
- No understanding of EPC-specific risk frameworks
Generic CLM platforms
Built to store, not to think
- Track contracts but offer no real intelligence
- Treat all contracts the same regardless of industry
- Heavy implementation, light insight
General-purpose AI
ChatGPT, Copilot and friends
- No confidentiality guarantees for sensitive terms
- No domain knowledge of FIDIC, NEC or EPC practice
- No structured workflow for contracts teams
Our solution
AI-powered contracts drafting, review and analysis — designed for EPC contracts teams.

FIDIC, NEC, JCT, back-to-back contracts, change orders and claims.

Capabilities
Six capabilities. One contracts team superpower.
Cost Analysis
Every contract analysed for its true financial exposure: payment terms, milestones, escalation mechanisms, and cost drivers surfaced in plain language.
Costing Clauses
Specific clauses that change what a project costs — variations, provisional sums, daywork rates, delay penalties — flagged automatically and explained.
Risk Analysis
A complete picture of where a contract leaves you exposed: liability caps, indemnities, termination rights, force majeure and LD provisions.
Risk Mitigation
Beyond identifying risk, clear guidance on how to push back: flagged clauses to negotiate, alternative positions, and standard fallback language.
Letter Writing
Formal correspondence drafted in seconds: variation notices, claims letters, contractual communications that meet notice and form requirements.
Confidentiality
Enterprise-grade security throughout. Your commercially sensitive terms, pricing and positions stay protected at every stage.

From contract to commercial decision in minutes.
Upload
Drop in any contract: main agreement, subcontract, variation, claim. PDF, Word, scanned.

Mitigation guidance for every risk. Negotiating positions for every problematic clause.
Act

Industry depth
This is what “built for EPC” actually means.
A generic tool sees
“A contract.”
- Generic clause categories
- Standard legal risk language
- One-size-fits-all summaries
- No knowledge of project lifecycle
- No grasp of commercial impact
Chaotic Systems sees
“An EPC contract.”
- FIDIC and NEC clause taxonomies
- Notice periods and time-bar tracking
- Variation procedures and change orders
- Liquidated damages exposure modelling
- Back-to-back alignment with subcontracts
