How to Keep an AI Assistant From Treating a Draft Contract as Final

11/10/2026

An assistant may retrieve a draft agreement and answer questions as if its terms are approved. Multiple versions may have similar names, and draft comments can conflict with the signed document.

What to check

Check document status metadata, approval history, effective date, repository location, and retrieval citations. Test questions where draft and executed terms differ.

Recommended next step

Restrict authoritative answers to approved executed documents, label drafts clearly, and route contract interpretation to authorized staff. Remove superseded drafts from active search while retaining them under proper records policy.
