What it does
The job, handled end to end
- 1Reads renewal dates, term lengths, and notice periods out of uploaded contracts.
- 2Calculates the real decision deadline — the date you must act by to hit the notice window — not just the renewal date.
- 3Tracks every contract on one timeline so nothing auto-renews silently.
- 4Notifies the owner ahead of each notice deadline with enough lead time to actually decide.
How it works
Three steps
Add
Upload contracts or forward them in. Keelstar extracts the key dates and clauses.
Calculate
Keelstar works back from the renewal date through the notice period to find your real deadline.
Monitor
Each contract sits on a renewal timeline with reminders before the decision window closes.
Recurring value
Where the real value is
An auto-renewing contract is a recurring liability, not a one-time signature. The value isn't knowing the renewal date once — it's being reminded, every cycle, before the notice period closes. Keelstar monitors the whole portfolio continuously so a renewal is always a decision you made, never one that happened to you.
Audit output
Keep a record of every renewal date, notice deadline, and the decision made each cycle. When someone asks why a contract renewed — or didn't — the timeline answers it.

FAQ
Common questions
Effective date, term length, renewal date, and notice period. From those it calculates the decision deadline — the last day you can give notice.
Keelstar surfaces the clause it read and lets you confirm or correct the dates, so the monitored deadline is always one you've verified.
You set the lead time per contract or as a default, so high-value agreements can warn you months before the notice window closes.
Yes. Assign an owner per contract; reminders route to them, and the full portfolio stays visible to the team with the right permissions.
