Amendments with Claude: trace what changes in the contract
Amendments with Claude: trace what changes in the contract. Method, fictional example and checks against the French project record.

Prepare a contract amendment with Claude →
An amendment is read alongside the contract it modifies. Collect the signed version and accepted changes first. The pack organizes reasons, affected clauses and consequences. For each change, identify the previous wording or scope, new proposal and intended effective date. Check that the financial impact is not already included in an earlier amendment. Preserving unaffected clauses avoids introducing contradictions into a targeted change.
Prepare the project inputs
Signed contract, earlier amendments, proposed change and fee/timing impacts. Keep reference copies and identify their versions. Missing inputs must remain visible before generation.
Fictional example to check
Fictional example: an additional meeting and preparation are proposed for €300 excluding tax. The amendment specifies the one-off scope, deliverable and schedule impact. The revised total should not be treated as agreed billing value before the required acceptance is handled.
Review before use
Review references, numbering and contractual consistency. A generated document does not prove acceptance. Keep versions and approval evidence in the contract record, and pass only accepted amounts into billing.
