Case Study: Heretik automates contract review and cuts data preparation time by 50% with CloudFactory

Automating the contract process with document annotation

Heretik, a legal machine learning company building a contract review application, faced the challenge of labeling hundreds of thousands of complex legal documents across many areas of law to train its models. Rather than use crowdsourcing, Heretik turned to CloudFactory for managed workforce and Natural Language Processing support to reliably identify contract structure, key entities, clauses, and other legal elements.

CloudFactory deployed a Kenya‑based, trained annotation team working in agile sprints with client-driven training and quality feedback, labeling more than 30,000 documents (about 1,500 per month) across five use cases. CloudFactory’s managed solution cut Heretik’s data preparation time by roughly 50%, accelerated data science research and product development, and helped Heretik get to market and generate revenue sooner.
