The product

A workbench for ocean carrier service contracts.

Manifesto turns dense, multi-page contracts into reviewer-ready rate sheets — with PDF evidence on every row, full amendment history, and one-click export to your existing rate template.

What you get

From PDF to rate workbook in three layers.

Block-Based Extraction

Manifesto identifies rate blocks, note blocks, arbitraries, and surcharges as first-class structures — not free text. Every block carries page and line provenance.

Evidence Verification

Every row gets an evidence score against the actual PDF text. Reviewers see verified, needs-review, or weak — not a single confidence percentage that hides the why.

Your Template, Preserved

Export reviewer-ready .xlsm directly into your existing rate workbook. VBA macros preserved. No workflow change.

Click a row, see the PDF token.

Every extracted row links back to the exact page and text in the source contract. Reviewers verify in seconds, not hours.

Document classification

13 stages. Deterministic-first.

Before any extraction logic commits to a strategy, Manifesto classifies the document kind, family, layout type, and amendment status. Unknown layouts are flagged, not guessed.

AI is only invoked as a fallback for genuinely ambiguous cases. The pipeline is reproducible and auditable.

Amendment-aware

Amendments are first-class.

Each amendment is processed against the base contract. Row-level diffs are preserved with full version history — you see exactly what changed and when.

No more re-keying affected lanes and hoping the diff was caught.

Reference data

Gets smarter on every contract.

Cities, commodities, and surcharges are matched against managed lookup tables curated per organization. Unknowns are flagged for review and added to the reference set.

The system improves over time without retraining a model.
