Nexus — Knowledge graph

Beta

Two graphs over your portfolio — a clause/counterparty knowledge graph, and the document chain from MSA to SOW to amendment.

What you get
  • ✓Contract, counterparty, matter and clause nodes with ten typed edge kinds
  • ✓One-hop neighbour queries over the knowledge graph
  • ✓Contract-relationship chain — parent_of, sow_of, amends, supersedes, related_to
  • ✓Two-level neighbourhood tree around any contract

Overview

What it is.

The legal knowledge graph holds contract, counterparty, matter and clause nodes joined by typed edges — applies_to, pairs_with, references, superseded_by, precedent_for, fallback_for, conflicts_with, triggers_regulation, escalates_to, fails_with_counterparty. You query it one hop at a time: ask for a node's neighbours and get everything it connects to, with the edge type on each.

Alongside it, the contract-relationship layer records the structural chain between documents — parent_of, sow_of, amends, supersedes, related_to — and returns a two-level neighbourhood tree. That is the one to reach for when you need "what is the contractual chain on this transaction?"

How it works

Three steps.
End to end.

01
1. Pick a node

A clause, a counterparty, a matter, or a contract.

02
2. Read its neighbours

Everything connected to it, each edge labelled with its relationship type.

03
3. Follow the document chain

For structure — MSA to SOW to amendment — use the contract-relationship tree, which returns two levels around the contract you start from.

FAQ

Quick answers.

Are the edges extracted automatically when I upload a document?

No. Knowledge-graph edges are populated from completed redline sessions by a nightly job (or on demand for a specific session), and contract relationships are created by you. Uploading a contract does not by itself add it to either graph.

Can I export the graph as an image?

No. Both surfaces return data, not a rendered diagram — there is no PNG or PDF export of a graph view.

Are there "signed by" and "governed by" edges?

No. Those two edge types do not exist. The ten that do are listed above.
