§5 · About ObliTracker

A contract management platform NZ businesses use for the obligations hiding in their contracts.

ObliTracker provides the practical outputs businesses expect from a contract management platform NZ-wide: obligation registers, drafted contracts, and categorised revision plans. Productised, delivered by email, at fixed price. Built for New Zealand businesses that have to run the contracts they sign.

§5.1 · Origin

Why this exists

The same pattern kept appearing, across every engagement.

The same pattern shows up across New Zealand commercial business: contracts signed with commitments that were never fully mapped. A useful contract management platform NZ businesses can access should make those commitments visible. Renewal windows quietly missed. Obligations tucked into schedules that nobody has read since execution. Contracts that are too dense to work through in-house, and too routine to hand to a lawyer twice.

The businesses aren’t careless. The contracts are just working documents that stopped being read as soon as they were signed. Observation across engagements · Redacted

Historically, without a contract management platform NZ businesses built the fix ad-hoc — a spreadsheet from scratch each time a supplier renewal came round, a hand-annotated PDF, a one-page summary drafted the night before a board meeting. Every time, the same categories of information. Every time, delivered as bespoke work at consulting rates.

ObliTracker exists because that deliverable can be productised. It turns a repeatable need into a contract management platform NZ organisations can access one contract at a time. The obligation register, the key-dates calendar, the risk-flagged review, the categorised revision plan — all of it fits into a repeatable format that qualified analysts can produce reliably, on a fixed price, in one to three business days. Businesses get the working document that used to require a consulting engagement, at a price that makes it accessible for a single contract.

That’s what this is. A working documents service. It is not a conventional contract management platform NZ teams must log into. Not a legal service. Not a SaaS platform. Not a subscription. Structured analytical work on commercial contracts, delivered by email, on stated turnaround, at fixed price.

§5.2 · Service specification

What ObliTracker is, clause by clause.

The specification below describes how this contract management platform NZ service operates as a whole. It applies to every order, every product, every engagement. These aren’t marketing statements — they’re the fixed operating parameters of the business.

Service Specification ObliTracker · Contract obligation intelligence

Ref OBX/SS/001 Rev 2026.1

5.2.1

Service scope

As a contract management platform NZ businesses access through defined orders, ObliTracker delivers structured working documents from commercial contracts — obligation registers, plain-language summaries, risk analyses, drafted contracts and categorised revision plans. Five defined products, each with a fixed scope, format and turnaround. No bespoke work outside stated scope unless separately arranged.

5.2.2

Production standard

Every deliverable is produced by a qualified analyst and checked by a second reviewer before it leaves. Not spot-checked — every engagement. Consistency across engagements is the organising commitment behind the service.

5.2.3

Pricing model

Fixed price per product. No hourly billing, no scope-creep charges, no variable costs. Every product’s price is listed publicly on the relevant pathway page. GST added at invoice. Larger or unusual jobs are quoted separately before ordering.

5.2.4

Delivery

By email. PDF, CSV, or DOCX depending on the product ordered. Within the stated turnaround for that product, or the order is refunded on request. No client portal, no login, no ongoing account. Nothing to maintain after delivery.

5.2.5

Data handling

The contract management platform NZ delivery model keeps contracts on New Zealand-hosted infrastructure. Files renamed on upload and stored in a protected folder outside public paths. Access restricted to authorised administrators. A ninety-day retention window applies after delivery, then permanent deletion. Server-side AI processing only.

5.2.6

Confidentiality

NDA available on request before upload — either the client’s or ObliTracker’s standard form. Standard commercial confidentiality applies to every engagement whether an NDA is executed or not. Contract files are never sent as email attachments. All analyst access is logged.

5.2.7

Positioning

This contract management platform NZ service is a working documents service. It is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and does not substitute for qualified legal counsel. Every deliverable is designed to shorten and focus a lawyer’s review, not replace it. Registered business in New Zealand.

Service Specification · OBX/SS/001 · Rev 2026.1 Applies to every product, every order.

§5.3 · Principles

How ObliTracker thinks about contract work.

The contract management platform NZ approach follows six operating principles. These aren’t marketing statements. They shape every deliverable ObliTracker produces — from a $235 Contract Summary through to a $750 Revise engagement — and every judgement call along the way.

A contract should be readable by the people who have to run it.

A useful contract management platform NZ teams can rely on gives the people managing supplier performance, tracking renewal windows and filing insurance certificates the contract in a form they can use. Not in legal prose that was drafted for a court.

ii.

Obligations you can’t see are the ones that hurt you.

The most expensive clauses in most contracts aren’t the dramatic ones. They’re the quiet recurring obligations, the notice windows, the automatic mechanics that trigger without anyone noticing.

iii.

Fixed price beats hourly billing for defined work.

If the work has a fixed shape, it should have a fixed price. Hourly billing punishes both parties — clients avoid asking, providers pad estimates. Fixed price is honest and lets both parties focus on the work.

iv.

Working documents, not correspondence.

A contract management platform NZ businesses can act on should produce working documents. Every ObliTracker deliverable is something you can pick up, use, share with your team, or hand to your lawyer. Not a memo, not a report on your reading. A functional artefact.

The deliverable should shorten a lawyer’s review, not replace it.

A good ObliTracker deliverable makes your qualified legal review faster and more focused. It doesn’t compete with a lawyer — it makes their time more valuable.

vi.

Business context matters as much as legal analysis.

Contracts don’t live in a courtroom. They live inside operational businesses with quarterly cycles, budget pressures and team handovers. A useful analysis holds both the legal shape and the business context together.

§5.4 · Legal positioning

What ObliTracker is, and what it isn’t.

Being clear about this matters. The contract management platform NZ businesses meet here produces working documents that support commercial decisions and shorten legal reviews. It is not, and does not pretend to be, a substitute for qualified legal advice. The distinction below is the honest positioning.

What we are

A working-documents service.

Analyst-led production Business analysts producing structured working artefacts from your contracts.
Support for informed decisions Deliverables designed to be picked up by business owners, ops leads, and legal counsel.
Complementary to legal counsel Our output shortens and focuses a lawyer’s review. Both roles serve you.
Fixed-price productised service Every product has a defined scope, a defined price, a defined turnaround.

What we’re not

A law firm, and never a substitute.

Not practising law We do not provide legal advice, opinions, or representation in any jurisdiction.
Not a substitute for a solicitor Every contract you intend to sign should be reviewed by a qualified NZ lawyer.
Not retained counsel We don’t hold ongoing legal responsibility for your commercial arrangements.
Not signing anything for you We produce artefacts. You and your legal counsel decide what to do with them.

Schedule 1

About the service and the business.

Q.01Is ObliTracker a law firm?

No. ObliTracker is a working documents service. It does not provide legal advice, opinions, or representation in any jurisdiction. The analysts producing every deliverable are qualified in business analysis, process design and contract intelligence — not in the practice of law. Every deliverable is designed to support qualified legal review, not replace it.

Q.02Who typically buys ObliTracker products?

Business owners about to sign supplier or services agreements, operations teams inheriting contracts they need to run, finance leads reviewing spend commitments, and consultants preparing clients for legal review. They use the contract management platform NZ-wide when they need a contract mapped to a working document before they can act on it.

Q.03Why isn’t this cheaper — surely AI can do it for a fraction of the price?

AI tooling is part of how ObliTracker produces its outputs. It isn’t the deliverable. Every output goes through an analyst read, a structured production process, and a second-reviewer check before it leaves. The price reflects analytical work done properly, not raw AI transcription.

Q.04Why isn’t this more expensive — a lawyer would charge triple?

Because ObliTracker isn’t legal work. A lawyer’s fee reflects legal accountability, professional insurance and the practice of law. ObliTracker is analytical production of a working document — a different service, at a different price. Use both, sequentially, on the same contract.

Q.05Do you take custom work outside the five products?

Occasionally, by arrangement. If a business needs something related but outside the standard scope — a portfolio-wide obligation register across many contracts, a compliance-linked review programme — email hello@oblitracker.co.nz with details. Larger or bespoke engagements are quoted separately.

Q.06Can we talk to you before ordering?

A short introductory call is available before larger engagements — Revise, or work that exceeds a single contract. For standard product orders, the intake and deliverable are designed to work without a call, but if a conversation would help, email hello@oblitracker.co.nz.

Q.07Where is ObliTracker based?

New Zealand. Infrastructure is NZ-hosted, analysts are NZ-based, and the business is NZ-registered. No offshore processing, no third-party AI training use, no jurisdictional grey areas on where your contract data lives.
