Your first contract draft, built from clear business requirements.
Choose the contract type you need, complete a guided questionnaire, and receive a structured Word draft prepared for lawyer review. ObliTracker draws on a comprehensive contract drafting database aligned with New Zealand and Australian best-practice contracting standards, common legal and regulatory requirements, and practical commercial drafting patterns. We do the heavy first-pass drafting work so your solicitor can focus on legal advice, amendments and final sign-off.
Prepared for lawyer revision. Not legal advice.
Get your solicitor a better starting point.
Create gives you a structured first draft before legal review, so your lawyer can spend time checking, advising and finalising, not discovering the basic commercial facts from scratch.
Starting from zero is slow, expensive and often unnecessary.
A good contract still needs legal review. But the first draft does not need to start as a blank page at solicitor rates.
Starting from scratch is expensive.
A solicitor charging $400 to $500 per hour to draft a contract from zero can cost $2,000 to $5,000 before you have even negotiated a single clause.
Templates from the internet are not enough.
Generic templates rarely reflect your business context, your risk position, your commercial deal or the decisions your lawyer will need to review.
Your lawyer should not need to start cold.
The structure, commercial facts, clause logic, decision points and first draft can be prepared before your lawyer sees it. That is what we do.
We do the 80%. Your lawyer does the 20%.
The recommended path is not skipping legal review. It is giving your lawyer a better draft to review, so they can focus on legal advice, amendments and sign-off.

From structured answers to a lawyer-ready draft.
The process is built to collect the right commercial information and turn it into a clear, editable Word document.
Purchase and complete the intake
After purchase you will be prompted to complete a structured questionnaire covering parties, scope, payment, IP, liability and more.
We build the draft
Your questionnaire responses are used to produce a complete, plain-language draft for your contract type, benchmarked against NZ and AU contracting norms.
We flag what needs a decision
Where responses are incomplete or a clause requires a commercial or legal judgement call, we flag it with [CLIENT TO CONFIRM] markers rather than guessing.
You receive your draft
Delivered to your client portal. Take it to your solicitor for revision, advice and sign-off.

All Create outputs are prepared for lawyer revision.
ObliTracker prepares the structured first draft. Your lawyer reviews, advises and finalises it. Some contract types, including employment agreements, property transactions, commercial leases, shareholders’ agreements and business sale agreements, require especially careful legal review before use. We still help you get started by preparing the structure, key clauses, commercial terms and decision points so your lawyer has a clearer, more complete draft to review.
Two documents. One engagement.
Your Create engagement produces tangible, editable outputs your solicitor can review and finalise.

Why you still need a lawyer, and why this makes that cheaper.
ObliTracker Create is not a substitute for legal advice. The draft we produce is commercially and operationally structured, but it must be reviewed and confirmed by a qualified lawyer before you sign or send it to the other party.
Create compresses the lawyer’s work. Instead of billing you for the full drafting process, your lawyer reviews a clean, well-structured draft that already reflects NZ/AU norms, plain language and your specific commercial arrangement.
ObliTracker Create
- Structure the contract
- Apply NZ/AU norms
- Plain language drafting
- Flag gaps for decision
- Deliver within 2 business days
Your lawyer
- Confirm it is legally sound
- Advise on any unusual terms
- Make legally binding amendments
- Finalise and execute
- Review the draft from a much clearer starting point
Some contract types need careful legal revision.
Employment agreements, residential and commercial property transactions, commercial leases, shareholders’ agreements and business sale agreements can carry statutory, tax, regulatory or transaction-specific requirements.
- We prepare the structure, key clauses, commercial terms and decision points.
- We flag items that need lawyer revision with [CLIENT TO CONFIRM] markers.
- Your lawyer reviews, advises, amends and finalises the document before use.
- The purpose is to give your lawyer a stronger first draft, not replace legal sign-off.
Contract drafting support, not legal advice.
ObliTracker Create produces draft contracts for operational and commercial clarity only. The draft is not a finished legal instrument and does not constitute legal advice. It has not been prepared by a solicitor and does not replace independent legal review. All Create outputs must be reviewed and confirmed by your legal counsel before execution.
- Use the draft as the starting point for your lawyer’s review, not as a finished contract.
- Do not sign or send the draft to the other party without legal sign-off.
- [CLIENT TO CONFIRM] markers indicate items your lawyer must resolve.
- Responsibility for legal validity and compliance remains with your organisation.
Frequently asked questions.
Common questions about Create, contract types, lawyer review and what happens after you complete the questionnaire.
What contract types can you create?
ObliTracker Create can help prepare structured first drafts for services agreements, contractor agreements, NDAs, SaaS and software licences, supply agreements, subcontractor agreements, privacy policies, terms of trade, master services agreements, reseller agreements, collaboration agreements, shareholders’ agreements, employment agreements, property agreements, commercial leases and business sale or purchase agreements.
Do I need to know exactly what I want before I start?
No. The questionnaire guides you through the key decisions. Where you are unsure, leave it blank. We flag those items for your lawyer rather than guessing.
Can I use the draft without a lawyer?
We strongly recommend against it. The draft is designed to compress your lawyer’s work, not replace it. Legal review of a well-structured draft should be more efficient than asking your lawyer to start from a blank page.
What format are the deliverables in?
Both documents are delivered as Word files so your lawyer can edit and finalise them directly.
What does [CLIENT TO CONFIRM] mean?
These are items in the draft where your questionnaire responses were incomplete, or where a clause requires a commercial or legal decision we cannot make on your behalf. Your lawyer resolves these during their review.
How long does it take?
Most drafts are delivered within 2 business days of receiving your completed questionnaire.
Does the $495 price apply to all contract types?
The standard Create price is $495 for one contract draft. If a contract is unusually complex, multi-party, highly bespoke or requires several documents, we may confirm a custom scope before drafting.
Can I use Create and then also get an Intelligence analysis?
Create produces a draft contract. It does not analyse an existing one. If you later receive a signed or negotiated version back from the other party and want it analysed, you would purchase a Contract Intelligence engagement separately.
