Overview

Overview

Redesigned a contract details panel to help Finance/AP users quickly understand risk, pricing, and key terms without reading full contracts.

The layout prioritizes invoice alignment, financial signals, and risks to support faster decisions.

Invoice-first hierarchy

Financial Alignment and Invoice Match appear at the top, reflecting real Finance workflows.

Clear separation of concepts

Contract Overview reflects canonical contract terms.
Financial Alignment reflects how those terms compare to real invoices.

Early risk visibility

Mismatches, renewal deadlines, and escalation are surfaced immediately under Risks & Alerts.

Progressive disclosure

Key Clauses and Full Contract Details remain accessible but de-emphasized to preserve scannability.

Out of Scope (Intentionally)

To keep the work focused, this design does not attempt to solve for:

  • PDF viewer redesign

  • Cross-contract analytics

  • Role-based permission models

  • Backend reconciliation logic

  • Contract authoring or configuration flows

This work focuses specifically on read-only decision support for Finance/AP users reviewing contracts in a high-risk state.

If I Had More Time

Future exploration could improve speed and confidence without expanding scope:

  • Inline source previews or hover states for faster context

  • Contextual plain-language explanations when risks appear

  • Role-aware defaults for Finance vs Legal users

  • Clearer action affordances for reanalysis and approval states

These ideas would extend the system without introducing unnecessary complexity.

I design for clarity under constraint: prioritize what matters, structure information cleanly, and move fast without sacrificing judgment.
