Multi-Agent Orchestration of Local LLMs for Contract Review under Resource Constraints
This paper presents MA-RAG, a multi-agent framework utilizing local LLMs and an Enterprise Contract Knowledge Base (ECKB) for automated, privacy-preserving contract review. It effectively addresses data sovereignty and resource constraints in manufacturing enterprises by decomposing complex tasks, grounding judgments in enterprise standards, and significantly outperforming single-agent baselines in identifying high-risk clauses.

Infrastructure Agents Overview
The MA-RAG framework employs specialized infrastructure agents to manage workflow and provide shared services, ensuring robust and efficient contract analysis.
| Agent | Main Role | Key Capabilities |
|---|---|---|
| Controller | Workflow orchestration and task assignment | Routing clauses, global configuration, task dispatch. |
| Retrieval | Unified access to the ECKB | Fetching context snippets from policies, rules, records, and historical cases. |
| Memory | Few-shot example retrieval | Retrieving similar clause-analysis pairs for in-context learning. |
| Fusion | Aggregation and global scoring | Merging clause annotations, resolving conflicts, generating unified risk report. |

Addressing Data Sovereignty & Resource Constraints
Problem: Manufacturing enterprises face stringent data sovereignty constraints precluding cloud LLM use, alongside computational limitations for on-premises deployment of massive models. Manual contract review is prone to inconsistency and lacks enterprise-specific grounding.
Solution: The MA-RAG framework provides an on-premises, privacy-preserving solution. It uses local, mid-scale LLMs orchestrated by multiple specialized agents, all grounded in an Enterprise Contract Knowledge Base (ECKB). This design avoids external APIs and extensive parameter adaptation.
Outcome: Achieves robust, policy-aligned, and explainable risk analysis under strict privacy and resource constraints, significantly outperforming single-agent baselines in identifying high-risk clauses.
Ablation Study: Contribution of Key Components
The study highlights the critical role of retrieval, memory, and multi-agent orchestration in MA-RAG's superior performance.
| Variant | Precision | Recall | F1 | RCDR |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MA-RAG | 0.91 | 0.92 | 0.90 | 0.94 |
| w/o Retrieval | 0.79 | 0.76 | 0.77 | 0.84 |
| w/o Memory | 0.85 | 0.82 | 0.84 | 0.91 |
| SA-RAG | 0.82 | 0.84 | 0.85 | 0.89 |

Your AI Implementation Roadmap
A structured approach to integrating multi-agent LLMs for maximum impact and minimal disruption.
Phase 1: Discovery & Strategy
Assess current contract review processes, identify key challenges, and define AI objectives tailored to your enterprise's privacy and resource constraints. Select suitable local LLMs and infrastructure.
Phase 2: ECKB Development & Agent Customization
Construct the Enterprise Contract Knowledge Base (ECKB) with policies, templates, and historical data. Customize specialized Risk Agents (Legal, Commercial, Technical, Supplier) and prompt templates.
Phase 3: Integration & Pilot Deployment
Integrate the MA-RAG framework with existing contract management systems. Conduct pilot testing on a subset of contracts with human-in-the-loop validation and feedback loop setup.
Phase 4: Scaling & Continuous Improvement
Expand deployment across departments, refine ECKB with ongoing feedback, and monitor performance. Implement iterative enhancements to agent logic and retrieval strategies for continuous optimization.
