FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
What does the Auto-Renewal Guard Agent check?
The Agent checks three contract fields:
- Whether the contract auto-renews.
- The renewal date.
- The required notice period.
It uses these to identify contracts that need a renewal decision before the notice deadline passes.
How does the Agent help prevent unwanted auto-renewals?
Auto-renewals can become unavoidable once the contractual notice deadline has passed.
When an auto-renewing contract enters its notice window, the Agent flags it for human attention and provides the deadline for serving notice, giving your team the information needed to act in time.
What happens when a contract is flagged?
The Agent provides:
- The renewal date.
- The required notice period.
- The exact date by which notice must be served.
Your team can then decide whether to renew, renegotiate or serve notice.
Does the Agent decide whether a contract should be renewed?
No. The Agent identifies when a renewal decision is required and flags the contract for human attention.
Your team retains control of the commercial decision and determines what action to take.
How does Agent automation compare with a manual process?
Without Agent automation, teams rely on manually tracking renewal and notice deadlines.
- Auto-renewing contracts must be identified.
- Notice periods must be checked against renewal dates.
- A missed deadline can leave the organisation committed to another term.
With Agent automation, notice windows are checked as part of the workflow.
- Auto-renewing contracts are checked against their notice periods.
- Contracts requiring a decision are flagged for attention.
- Exact notice deadlines give your team a clear date to act by.
Is there an audit trail?
Every Agent action is recorded in Gatekeeper with a timestamp, including the criteria applied, decision made, supporting evidence and reasoning where applicable.
This creates a searchable record of how each outcome was reached, supporting compliance verification, internal review and audit requirements.
How is my data kept secure and compliant?
Your data stays within Gatekeeper while the Agent performs its work. Actions, decisions and supporting evidence are logged, creating a clear audit trail.
The Agent operates within the permissions, playbooks and authority controls you configure.
