Trusted source data
Client, contacts, scope, deliverables, dates, pricing, tax, rights, clauses, owners, roles, and approved variables.
Choose document automation that preserves authority, not just formatting.
Agency document automation should assemble accurate client and project data into controlled drafts, route review and signatures, preserve versions, and update downstream work only after an authorized event.
Controlled document
Template, conditional content, generation, review, approval, redline, send, signature, amendment, storage, and export.
Operational handoff
The executed or approved version creates the correct project, obligations, billing events, access, retention, and audit record.
Compare how the system turns source records into decisions.
The useful product is the one your team can keep current while preserving ownership, evidence, and the client relationship.
Define the source records
Model proposals, SOWs, agreements, change requests, briefs, forms, releases, invoices, handoffs, and closeout documents.
Run the normal workflow
Generate from source data, review variables and clauses, approve, share, revise, sign, create downstream records, amend, and export.
Create a realistic exception
Test missing source fields, stale price, unauthorized clause, conflicting version, replaced signer, revoked access, and failed integration.
Verify the business outcome
Confirm automation never converts a draft, activity, or guessed value into an authorized client or financial commitment.
Choose by operating model and implementation depth.
Confirm current plan availability, limits, integrations, and migration behavior directly with each provider.

What should agencies test first?
Use a proposal, SOW, change request, invoice, amendment, and revoked-signer scenario with real source fields and permissions.
