Plain-English definitions.
The terms used inside Noble Unseen, explained without jargon.
- Contract Review
- An AI-assisted read-through of an uploaded contract that suggests obligations and suggested actions for a human to review. It never creates live tracking on its own.
- Obligation
- Something your organisation is required to do under a contract — for example, send a monthly report, give 30 days' notice, or maintain a certificate.
- Obligation Register
- The list of obligations your organisation is actively tracking. Items only appear here once a human has approved and promoted them.
- Obligation to Review
- A suggested obligation produced by contract review. It is waiting for a human to approve, reject, or edit it before it becomes live.
- Suggested Action
- A work item (often a recurring activity) produced by contract review. Suggested actions require human approval before anything is tracked, and only become live Actions if you choose to create or track them.
- Action
- A specific piece of live work assigned to a person with a due date. Actions can be created from approved suggested actions or added directly.
- Suggested Item
- An AI-generated suggestion (obligation or suggested action) that has not yet been approved. Suggested items are safe to ignore or reject.
- Live Tracking
- When an obligation or action is being actively monitored by the platform with due dates, owners and reminders.
- Source Clause
- The exact extract from the contract that an obligation or suggested action was derived from. Always visible during review so you can verify the suggestion.
- Review Status
- The state of a suggested item: needs review, approved, or rejected.
- Due Date
- The date by which an action or obligation needs to be completed.
- Cadence / Frequency
- How often a recurring obligation or suggested action repeats — weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually, etc.
- Ongoing
- An obligation that applies continuously throughout the life of the contract.
- One-time
- An obligation that needs to be done once and then closed.
- Event-triggered
- An obligation that only activates when something specific happens — e.g. an incident or a renewal.
- Critical
- Highest priority. Missing it would create significant risk.
- High priority
- Important and time-sensitive, but below critical.
- Vendor
- A supplier or counterparty referenced in a contract or action.
- Organisation
- The customer entity (your company or team). Users belong to one or more organisations.
- MFA
- Multi-factor authentication. A second step at login (an authenticator-app code) on top of your password.
- AI-assisted review
- Suggestions produced by AI to make human review faster — never replacing the human decision.
- Human approval
- A real person at your organisation has reviewed the suggestion and confirmed it before it goes live.
