What Knowable does

Knowable provides post-signature contract intelligence to large enterprises, addressing the gap left by pre-signature CLM systems through a SaaS platform that converts executed agreements into structured, queryable data. Its core offering combines proprietary machine learning and natural language processing with a 'Lawyer-in-the-loop' QC layer of 350 human contract analysts operating across 25 languages, enabling a stated 98%+ accuracy guarantee on extracted contract data points. The primary products are the Essentials Platform (the structured data system of record organized by contract family hierarchies), the Knowable Insights analytics platform, the AI Suite including the November 2024 Ask Knowable generative-AI assistant for natural-language Q&A over contract portfolios, and supplementary tiers (Portfolio Visibility, Critical Insights). The company sells exclusively to Fortune 500/1000 enterprises, with named customers across Technology (Dell Technologies), Conglomerates (GE), Consumer Goods (Nestlé USA), Financial Technology, and Entertainment.

Revenue is generated on a subscription SaaS basis, with quote-based / enterprise-negotiated engagements and add-on services for data collection and integration into downstream ERP, CRM, and CLM systems via APIs. The go-to-market is a direct enterprise field sales motion, with demand sourced through website demo requests and targeted outreach to corporate development, legal operations, privacy/compliance, and procurement stakeholders. Knowable operates from New York City with technology and delivery centers in Nashville, Wroclaw (Poland), and Quezon City (Philippines). The company was spun off from alternative legal services provider Axiom in 2018 and simultaneously entered a joint venture with LexisNexis Legal & Professional, under which Knowable operates independently while drawing on LexisNexis brand, distribution, and infrastructure; the two entities share solutions within the broader LexisNexis legal technology ecosystem alongside Lex Machina and Context.
